geoffbassist Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just checking out an awesome website called the WayBackMachine which indexes old websites and is really interesting........I tried the old Bassworld.co.uk site and here it is... http://web.archive.org/web/20050216021003/http://www.bassworld.co.uk/pn/index.php It's weird looking back and remembering what it was like.... I LOVE basschat now, but bassworld was really cool and had a great vibe. Check it out for some Tuesday night bass forum nostalgia :-) ... and what about basstalk that was only about for a little while before we found our new home....

spinynorman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'm not getting anything apart from the index page. The WayBackMachine preserved bits of the site I put up for a drama group in 1996, which I was rather proud of, as most of the members weren't on the internet then.

Cat Burrito Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It's funny I was always on it but it took me a few seconds to remember that it did actually used to look like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Things have certainly sprouted arms & legs since then. I wasn't a member back then, but when I first joined BC there was usually a max of about 15 users online at any one time. I remember there was a surge in guest activity where it went over 100 & Dood confirmed that it was bot activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've only been a member since 2010 so that's very interesting! Almost like a parallel universe. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 That was a year or two before I got involved. Judging by the number of topics in existence, that archive must be very early in the overall scheme of things ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember most of those login names, but I think only one, maybe two (apart from Ped and Kiwi) have been seen recently ... by me anyway.

KevB Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I was a bassworld member before chat but I think I was only on b-world for about two years before it folded and chat replaced it. I don't rememebr which year the changeover happened so not sure if I go back as far as 2005, it's possible. When was the very first gathering at that pub near the M1 in Northampton happened? I was a memebr then. Edit just checked bc came in 2007 so I may well go back as far as the 2005 page shown on waybackmachine. Feeling older than ever...
