I was playing around with the Internet Archive the other day and found that they have archived some of the early versions of this board. I didn't ever do screen shots of all the different looks and setups that the little board has gone thru during it's short time here (7 years) but looks like I.A. did for me. The board started at my personal JW site jwayne.com & then reserved the dukewayne.com domain so that I could move the board to it's own world!

So as you can see, alot of things have changed except one, the members, and there are many of you who have been around this place for several years now. I thank all of the members for taking this little place and making it come alive...

WOW!

Kevin, thanks for that little stroll down memory lane!

Can you imagine ever going back to the format of the very first board?

This place is great! THANK YOU!!!

Hi Kevin

Thansk for this very interesting post

Kevin,

You'll have to add a few more of these, especially with a new upgrade coming. It was interesting to watch the membership numbers grow and also see the size of the board increase with the addition of different forums.

I've only been here since 2005, so I have never seen the older versions. Kinda cool to see how things have progressed over the years! Thanks Kevin!
