Hi guys. Guess what I found? There's this website called Wayback (The Internet Archive) that crawls and saves websites for posterity. And it did IRtL.

Here, take a look at some of the screen-grabs from IRtLs of old - particularly the ranks of some of the oldest members!

Perhaps this will make you more nostalgic, perhaps it'll make you remember something funny you'd forgotten. I hope it's nice, anyway. Smile

We know about it.

At least I do, it does nicely when trying to re-create the site.

by WishLine Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:10 am

...Oh, that's really embarrassing if people already know. Great.

by rabid squirrel Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:25 am

I didn't know about it

EDIT: wow, the forum looks so tiny in 2007, post wise. And I thought it was the largest thing ever lol.

Oh good, well that's made it worth it

Ironic how I think the last capture is a database error, lol.

I agree, I just wish I was around when it first started, then I signed up late 2008 but I never posted, the reason I signed up was wizzy's manual contest, which I still remember. I still wonder who shammies was, I wonder why he was a LCC member. Then I went back there a couple months later and the site was shut down, I was like wtf. Yeah good/bad times.

by ACwazHere Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:59 pm

Some of these online people... Whoa. PlasticPocketKnife? Holy crap. I only remember his name (PPK). There are so many members that I have totally forgotten about. Totally brings the largeness/awesomeness of the old forum into perspective. And I had almost forgotten that chris386 was once elite. And there's smelvin0, the old king of recording, ZigZagger, Catboxstopper, CommercialH8er (we were bros, he was a GFXer in 2008), Angel Dust (we were bros too!)

LOL "IRideYourLine=)" I forgot about that person. Does anybody remember the story with him/her? And there's me as elite mod. Wow. Thanks for posting this, Wish, I had the biggest smile on my face while going through these.

But yeah, if it weren't for IRTL, my life seriously would have sucked in 2007/2008. I had two friends that I hung out with, I was picked on in school, and I wasn't spectacular academically. But then I came home every day and opened up my MSN buddy list and there were seriously >50 awesome IRTL people to talk to. Right now I have 149 MSN contacts; I haven't added one in ~2 years. And I went to this site that was just full of nice people and had tons to read every day, I played LR, and life was good. Thanks to IRTL, I was never lonely. I felt more confident every day because I was a staff member on this big forum (I was actually elite mod in october/november 2007? didn't know that), even though in person I was this scrawny awkward 14 year old. I made more friends thanks to this confidence. I've given this speech like 5 times already, but you know. You guys are awesome.

@Stallie: I remember Shammies! Sort of. I IM'd him a few months ago saying "Hmm who is this? :o" and it was him.

We had a funny/awkward little conversation.

I'm glad I made AC smile :-). This is what we had. I don't think we've lost that feel. In some respects, this IRtL is very similar to the one I left. And perhaps we could get a solid site up one day. Who knows :-)
