Neowin Through the Ages

[Rob Veteran]

Hi guys!

As part of our efforts to market the our upcoming upgrade to IPB3 and a new theme across the site, I'll be preparing some materials and would like your help! I'm trying to get hold of screenshots of Neowin from its very early stages. Can you help?

I suspect many of you may have screenshots lying around your machines, or you'll be better at using Archive.org to get hold of them anyway - so some images of the front page and/or forums from the different themes we've had would be great.

Full resolution please, and preferably where all the images are showing (Archive.org doesn't save all images but on occasions it does) - PNGs (JPGs at a push, but nothing that's been scaled down or reduced in quality too much).

Thanks!

Please make sure you port the classic theme to the new board. I still use it.

I may be the only one, but I do!

[Simon Veteran]

Hate to tell you, but we're cutting all themes with exception to Atlas on the forums iirc :p

Anyway: http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.neowin.net/

It has archived pages of Neowin dating back to 2001. It isn't complete though.

sadly, this is all I got. I'm not even sure if this was ever official, or where I got this?

I originally read this topic and thought I didn't have any screenshots, until I realized in my early screenshot taking craze of browser layouts, that they also double as screenshots of Neowin's Swift layout.

Here's one that dates from 2005 (feel free to crop out the browser bits):

^ That brings back some memories! Compared to Ignition, just shows how much Neowin has improved over the years. (Y)

Man all my desktops screenshots have Neowin minimized in the taskbar. A lot from 2002 and 2003. :/

[Simon Veteran]

An aside for the materials Rob's preparing: KoL's desktop through the ages. :p

[Rob Veteran]

This is all really useful, thank you! Keep them coming! I am thinking some of the really really early stuff might need Steve's input to acquire, or perhaps extend this outside the vet/mvc area to all members.

[Steven P. Administrators]

Yeah I think its a good idea to involve the membership as well.

Why do I never snapshot things :/

[Rob Veteran]

Welcome members, can you help? :)

All I got is a screenshot from '02 with Neowin minimized in the task bar... not much help unfortunitly :(

Let's see what I have... screenshot of some kind of LFA bug (taken in early 2008):

Neowin in the very first version of Safari for Windows:

Lastly, taken for the lulz: Neowin in IE:Mac (also from early 2008):

I'm not too sure, but this logo's might be from the early stage of Neowin

Correct me if I'm wrong, anyways, Im trying my best by finding screenshots on Google Images and Bing Images.

Strictly not a neowin site. Looks like someone copied and pasted some content a while back tho.

I took this and uploaded it to Wikipedia a while ago:

Aww, take another one with ClearType maybe?

EDIT: Makes you realise exactly how many subforums we have :o

EDIT2: Maybe a screen of the FP and an updated image of the logo?
