New/Old Hand of Odd Info

[sy4090]

So i was on archive.com to see what the oddworld site was like when it started.
And i saw this http://web.archive.org/web/199902181...hock/index.htm .
And then I found thishttp://web.archive.org/web/200003052...handofodd.html

If you can't establish whether these are new or old info, these are old info.

[sy4090]

Yes but i am just saying i have never seen this before.

[Varrok]

Well, me neither, but it doesn't really contain any information I haven't heard about. It doesn't contain much information in general, frankly

[Holy Sock]

Yeah, take that Sy.

[Varrok]

Nah, I'm not really trying to be mean right now. It's just that it's Oddworld Forums. Every news about Oddworld you post here is old news.

[Holy Sock]

True. And Wil is relentless. It's probably good that you got to Sy first, too be honest.

[Fuzzle Guy]

The most shocking thing to me is how hideous the Internet was back in the day.



Back before browsers had Tabs and it took 8 and a half hours to load one page. You just had to get the relevant information across in as few kilobytes as possible so you didn't waste 8 hours of your customers time with a fancy ass picture or banner!

I think I still have those pages saved somewhere.

I've been thinking of creating a wiki with all this kind of content but I don't realy have the time at the moment.

[Phylum]

You should make a forum instead.

[Xavier]

Actually that forum is amongst the reasons I want to create a wiki.

There's never enough time.

Cool find, I've never seen that before either.

On the subject of hideous web pages, those still look way better than the current website of the video rental store I worked for up until about a year ago, lol.
