The 2nd SSCentral Forums - Way back when, this is what SSC used to look like. That was the SSC that I loved and was familiar with. I regret not making a backup page the day I joined. It was such a different place with only 6000 posts and under 100 members. I was the 89th, between Belisaurius and Spinner. The archive is from October 2004, the year of 2000 posts a month, the 20,000 goal broken weeks early.

Edit: The graphics didn't show up for some reason or another. I might be able to find another version that had the forum icons.

Ah yes the old SSC forums, too bad I wasn't there to experience it. Were things any better when Ben wasn't so strict ? B)

Good god, that was the second one? I remember the first one. Jeez, that brings back memories.

dux...the link logs in as you...

It doesn't mean you can post though. It doesn't matter.

Ben never has been all that strict, it just seems like it since SSC grew so much and added so many members. The old SSC feels like it was ages ago, I mean, look at the people around then: Doomsoaker, Freakymist, Neobird, xNeverfacedefeatx, Hyper 9, Cloud, Iceman, Bluesmudge, Spinner, Razor, USSA, The Dark ANNIHLATOR, Commander Gaunt, Veteran, Adrian, Field Marshal Yang, Commander Roo, and Crashdummy just to mention a few. Some names look familiar today, others have vanished into history. Sometimes I even miss Sniper and Blaze [ok, maybe not Sniper]. :P

Heh, that was the original "Special Posts" post I made on the Waterbridge Forum way back when.

I even found my first every post in the online community:

My early posts were not of very good quality, since the Waterbridge Forum was made up of just friends, so we posted like fools.

My early posts on SSCentral were better, since by then I had months of forum experience.
