    A while ago my old computer died and I lamented losing some old versions of 3reef. As you may know from reading the FAQ I've had this site up since 1996.

    So today I was talking about the 'Internet Archive' project and decided to check it out. Well omg... they archived some really old versions of 3reef. Check it out! 8)
    Internet Archive Wayback Machine

    Although the HTML in the archive is a little wonky, especially the Javascript, you can get a sense of some of the old versions - check the first 2 links on that page.

    How cool! :eek:

    Wow, that was cool. Wish I had a tank back then and I sure wish I knew about 3reef.com when I set mine up in 2002!

    Thanks for the kind words all. :)

    Through thick and thin this site has been a great outlet for me and very rewarding with all the friends I've made here.

    This made me pretty happy today. Some of the links even work.

    And yes, Jason you've been here that long. We are growing old together. lol. hahaha
