Classic TWG

[Spriggan]

Heh, the things you find on the net.  Webarchive.org takes photos of sites and store them, and they've got some TWG!

Here we go with July 2001

A very poor shot of the next version of TWG Sept 2001

So lets shoot to may of 2002 and another version.

After that we have the current version.

Here you can see the whole archive.

EDIT: Guess the BB tags and the URLs didn't like each other so I removes all the tags.

Haha, wow, what a trip. It's a little amazing to me how long TWG has been around.

Wasn't the original TWG green?  I don't remember it being black.

your monitor's going or you have it set to display too few colors, HoM, that IS  green

[House of Mustard]

Well, that's weird.

There was also, very breifly, a gray version with a bright blue header on an embossed oval I made in photoshop. That was when I realized we needed an art director.

I remember those different design stages now. The nostalgia.

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

Man, this set up if INFINATELY superior to those ones.  A lot of them gave me a headache just staying there too long...

[Fellfrosch]

Just remember: if you like the site's current look, you have 42 to thank. He did a great job that was, as you can see, sorely needed.

Thing I like is you can go a few links in on those achived sites, so if you goto one from when we had a forum you can see what the topics were then.

I liked that first one. From July 2001. Very noir look.

Wow, I'm almost positive that I came to TWG before this design, because 42 told me about it, but I can't remember those old designs. Funny.

here's another link where it just lists every page in their archive.  There's over 4000 pages of TWG stored there.
