I dig around the Wayback Machine when looking at old versions of the site. There's even working download links for some games, and even the installer, but the installer crashes and doesn't work :(.

Edit: I think I know you from somewhere, Ac. Did we work on a game together or something?

That's the BYOND I fell in love with. =D

The switch from the dark moody black background to these brighter colors was an interesting one to get used to, and with my modern web sensibility I see even these as being too dark. How times change.

I loved the light tan colors. That's the BYOND I fell in love with.

It might be possible but until the past few years I kept to myself on byond and randomly changed keys its been so long from them its hard to really remember half the stuff I did. :P I know back then I was using AOL oh man that sucked.

Incidentally, this is identical to http://web.archive.org/web/20000815223551/http:// www.byond.com/ (from August 15, 2000).

I can't say it's the BYOND I fell in love with like some others, but this is (from July 27, 2002 --- See DarkHiei, which I forged July 28).

BYOND was so much more fun back then. :)

So like, I saw the first paragraph and thought, "Wow! Games getting shut down is fun (how did we get from there to here?)." Then I saw the second paragraph and literally laughed out loud about the "changed the copyright date thing." Read a few more posts in...Oh my.
