WayBackMachine is a great way to look back nostalgically at websites as they were then - going back to the early noughties.

Here is what TAS looked like in the early days of 2014 (with only 8751 posts).

Number on RPF have dwindled also as various social media channels have drawn people away.

Going back to 2010 I see some familiar names, but the formatting wasn't retained. I chose a date at random in 2014 and was taken straight to a 'blog' post I had created!

Welcome to 1998. One can go back to 1996, but I found '98 more "interesting".
