It feels like such a time-capsule - because I think if you put something like this online now, it'd instantly get abused for the most horrible poo poo which would land you in jail, you'd get the site absolutely DDoS'd simply by people trying to access it, or you wouldn't be able to post it anywhere or nobody would care and it'd disappear into obscurity.

The rar file I mentioned earlier also contains an archive of this thread with the images intact, so let's see what memes were like in 2001 before everyone had settled on the impact font.

I haven't scanned through that particular archive, but I went through the archives I have from around 2002 to 2006ish, and found this gem:



Unfortunately, the details are lost to me about which goon in particular did this, but he visited the illustrious Michael J Beverage of Yorba Linda Water District fame, and got this photo together.

Mind you, this was back in the day when the real world and the internet were two distinct entities.

Try ctrl+F5 to force a full reload; they should show up. But here's the links for convenience:

Gifs! Macros! Fritz

I've also added one last batch of stuff (assuming I don't stumble onto anything else).

Games! A small collection including an early Dropsy game, and the Jon Lovitz Adventure trilogy. Given their age, you'll probably need to do some finagling to get them to work.

SpokkerJones Reads The Internet in the Audio folder. Some recordings of SpokkerJones reading random internet posts. There's also a folder of what I'm reasonably sure is me doing the same thing, but I can't remember if I ever posted them.

TG Drama in the Audio folder. Didn't listen to them all, but it sounds like a mom complaining about posts.

A small folder of Stickam caps of goons convincing people to put shoes on their heads.

And lastly, More Misc. Pics; another 1500+ random images pulled off SA going back to 2002!

Based on the timestamp in the gif and from what I remember (which isn't much, since I wasn't an active user back then and would just grab whatever I could when the paywall was down), I'd say it's very probable.

Found a few more odds & ends. It's been archived elsewhere, but here's the 9/11 thread for posterity.

I threw a couple videos into the Killdozer folder.

Also added a couple more videos, including Bart The General, the godawful video that Lowtax tried to force into becoming a meme.

I also found that I have 50 gigs worth of the early SA Let's Play crew, Freelance Astronauts' videos. I don't have the space for the whole thing, so unless someone has a special request, I'm not going to upload them.

Is the Worms Armageddon stuff from any of these?
Because they're unarchived in the LP Master list?

Lol, Let's Plays and the Freelance Astronauts in particular were the biggest thing that finally got me to make an account, to get rid of that darn occasional paywall. It's been forever, but I kinda want to say Majora's Mask was the big one around the time I finally registered?

No, this is just Freelance Astronauts' stuff with Maxwell Adams, Pipes! & Ferr. For now, I'm uploading the JFK: Reloaded, New Super Mario Bros, The Kickboat Saga (Half Life 2), Worms: Armageddon & the misc. videos, since I remember those being the funniest. I'll throw more up later, but like I said, it won't all fit, so something will have to be left out. If anything, I can swap stuff out later or upload the rest elsewhere.

EDIT: Adding Majora's Mask due to the above request, Twilight Princess and Saint's Row 2.
