ForumPromotion in its beginnings

[Kaiser.]

I was having fun with Wayback machine, and I was going through FP's archives and here you go: http://web.archive.org/web/200707150000 ... et/phpBB3/ thats the first official capture of it, its fun going through all the posts and threads.. thats back in 2007 when it was hosted on Freeforums.org hasn't it come far?

By the way if you plan to find your site there, you wont unless its been around for a few years.

The one thing I hate about the wayback system is it does not provide the theme.

Anyhow that's nice! Seen it before but still nice.

It wont unless you still have those images, and file still being hosted on the server. Same with google cache

If you want a taste of old skool FP, change your theme to FP1.

Awww! I'm sure FP has been through a lot. I hope FP never closes because I don't know what I'll do!

I remember looking this site up when I first heard about archive.org on another forum. I had a blast reading through all the old topics and whatever have you. That site is so much fun because you really get to see what a forum was like during it's infancy days.

Everything comes to an end at some point & Im sure you'll survive. 😛

Right. Even if FP were to ever close, there are plenty of places to promote your forums, blogs or sites otherwise. While it would be sad for FP to close, should it happen, it's definitely not the end of the world if it were to close.

I never knew FP was hosted on freeforums.

Well, all forums start off somewhere! Although I must admit the last host I expected these guys to use for a free host was freeforums.org. But I guess this was back when they were still a decent host and before they started going downhill and gaining a bad rep for themselves.

Back in 2007 Freeforums.org were the best.. and yea now they are crap.

They were always crap. They had no ads back then but forums were always having downtime or error messages on the forums. Now they are loaded with ads & the servers seem more stable. Either way they suck and always have.
:lol:

I like that theme 🙂

Nice to see for a chance that such a big forum started off on a free host though. Shows that it can be done from a free host up

[Grumpy]

FP has definitely come along, looking at it in the past! 😛

Aww! It has my "TNG" affiliate button for a while. It's amazing to think about how long I've been here. 😛

You can still use that theme actually. It is called "FPX" in your preferences. A few features aren't there like Rep and Mood, but it still works well.

My goodness...We have come quite far since then. I joined about 2 years after the site opened its doors.
