Does Anyone Have the Screenshot of the Old Site

Post anything you want here. This is the place where you get away from it all. In short, this is a forum for "chit-chat" and things of that sort.

Does Anyone Have the Screenshot of the Old Site

How did the Alf forum look originally. Does anyone have a screenshot.

Here are the first couple of forum designs. I can post pictures of the main website at some point - previous designs were not good, and I would feel a small sense of embarrassment posting them :lol:

Thanks. I honestly thought no one would come up with them. That will learn me never to doubt fellow ALF fans. Just goes to show that the site went a long way. I always find it interesting to see how sites I visit regularly looked before my time. On the lookout for IMDb from 90's now. That will be quite a catch.

I remember the look of the site in the second picture! :D I miss having a space background all over the forum though, I must say :(

I was just a visitor during the second look. :) Brings on a nostalgic feeling.

There is also one more forum design that I forgot - I'll get that, and the website designs when I get home tomorrow.

Here are screenshots of the main website. Some of the backgrounds and spacing do not show up very well, but I think you'll get the idea. A lot of empty space in each picture because of modern screen resolutions.

Design #1 - only lasted a few weeks. It was a cloud background (and very difficult to read). I do not have a picture of this one.
Design #2 - black background. Easier to read than the last one, but still looked terrible.
Design #3 - background doesn't show up on the picture, but it was a blue-colored background if I recall correctly.
Design #4 - has the wormhole from DS9 in it (for you Star Trek fans).
Design #5 - had this design for probably 2-3 years. Wasn't the greatest looking, but was very efficient in regards to space.
Design #6 - had this one for 4 years. Worked pretty well, but found it very limiting as far as updating.
Design #7 (current) - went through a company to get this one designed. Told them what I wanted and they made it happen.

I remember visiting your site when I rediscovered ALF in 2003, it was when you had the 5th design. Remember it like it was yesterday, it was there I first found out about ALF's Hit Talk Show!
