Who remembers the classic FP?

[Deleted member 4320]

Does anyone remember the classic FP from back in the day? I was browsing some old sites and tried visiting FP in the old phpBB days in 2009. Surprisingly there’s a lot of the site archived.

Who remembers it from back then? The site has definitely changed a lot since then for sure!

Still searching for the same theme that they used for the website back then.

If you look on the Web Archive you can still get to a fair few pages. Search Google for the ‘Wayback Machine’.

The theme was custom made by a theme designer. You can get a similar theme for phpBB by the same dude called Absolution.

I was a late arrival back in 2016 i think if i can remember, but i have noticed some subtle changes since i arrived, i would be interested to see what the site was back in the day,

I think looking at the wayback machine may show some older designs and what FP was like back in the day too 🙂

I wish those rank images would come back they were amazing. Those shiny blue gradients and the little icons 😂

Ah the nostalgia is killing me!

Here's an actual screenshot I took on classic FP!

Well, just by looking at the thumbnail of the second video, I see the username Bazinga!, and I believe that is @Pennywise, if I remember correctly.

@Cameron. I wonder who that 2787cmt guy in the first video is. He seems pretty cool.

Such an old screenshot.

Oh look, you have ForuMansion open in another tab.

I was actually hoping I'd have more screenshots saved of FP when it was on phpBB, but I don't. Kinda disappointed on that.

Some guy that needed to get a life.

I've got a ton of old screenshots on my terabyte drive, but I'd say 99% of those screenshots are related to some kind of drama that was going on at the time.

I'm sure most of mine were related to some drama going on at that time as well, but I think I had some fairly random ones. I'll have to dig and see if I can find them elsewhere. 😛

I like to think that I piloted the whole cute avatar thing.

Using the way back machine this is what i found from 2011 🙂

@Eternal always had that kind of avatar, I swear. I actually still have him added on Facebook.

We always called him Salami. Good times.

I bet that's an Advertise Hotspot advertisement in the top right corner. That was @Joel's baby.

Those are from back when I was community team leader. Good times.

I wonder what happened to him.

I wonder what happened to him.

I definitely recall a lot of drama with him and PayPal. I know I did paid posting for him, got paid, and then the transaction was charged back a few weeks later. That happened to a lot of people.
