The good old days

.. when the RHP forums were so crowded that additional Science and Culture forums had to be created
.. or earlier, when Sports and Debates and Spirituality got their own homes
.. or back before 2000, when you had to find a live person to play against or suffer the tortures of postal chess.

Ya like when mum could send you (in my case a 7 year old) up to the pharmacy, 4 blocks from home, to get cigarettes for her and not have to be concerned that some one might do you harm?

Here's a link that will show how the "original" site looked in the real "good old days".

The oldest one I could find: http://web.archive.org/web/20010304170336/http://www.redhotpawn.com/

The earliest forum page I could find: http://web.archive.org/web/20010801160923/http://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/


You can find these kinds of old vintage pages for other older versions of your favorite sites by using the "wayback machine", using this link. http://archive.org/index.php

I remember nostalgia. It was wonderful. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. 🙂

That's a very old Irish joke. There are people dying now that never died before.

Another play on words is.....let me shake you warmly by the throat.
