Something about snowflakes as well.
Oh jeesh, and don't forget when Myopic Rhino made the website play Christmas music non-stop. :rolleyes:

A snapshot history of Gamedev.net looks
I liked the time where you could inject HTML and Javascript into the post directly, and it would execute on the main page because of the thread previews. I distinctly recall making revisions on posts and adding an unclosed comment tag to prevent the “edited at date” at the end of the post. Somewhere 2009-2010, I think. Something about snowflakes as well.
I forget which mod pooped his pants when we got javascript to make all the letters in a post look like an orbiting asteroid belt.
Ah. Good Times.
Is there a link to that or gif?
I also miss the dark theme. This one feels more professional/serious, the dark one had more of a "fun"/hobby feeling over it for me.
Yeah, lots of memories there. I remember stuff circa the February 2000 snapshot.
As I recall I actually ignored GDNet for the first couple of years I knew of it, for whatever stupid reasons. This is actually my second account here, I don't have any idea if my original still exists after all the transitions.
There's a version of the site out there that is the most sentimentally meaningful to me, but I wouldn't say it was necessarily better than the current site, just different.
As much as I like a good dose of nostalgia, I'd rather see GDNet continue to move forward than try and recapture any of the "old glory days" just for their own sake.

It does in the database. I don't know which one is your other account, but our entire 17 year history of data has been preserved from version to version.
Looks like my posts didn't make it though.
They probably exist, but the account itself probably didn't keep track of its posts. It was probably 'post -> user' linked, rather than 'post <-> user' linked.
[Edit:] For example.
I'd just like a dark theme :3What's everyone's favorites? And why?
Funny you should mention that...The Black Theme. How I miss thee. :(
@[member='TheChubu'], @[member='fastcall22'], may have you covered.
