A while ago I made a web browser. I took a screenshot of it while it was on the old Apollo forums, doesn't it just bring a tear to you eye looking at that? (okay there's an options window over most of it, but try to imagine)

Looks nice, although I doubt its functionability compared to this one

(I like the buttons at the top)

Ahhh, I was trying to remember the site looked like before the last "big change" the other day.

Now it is revealed... you are great. I love you.


Remember, Jimmy still loves you.

I liked the old forums, much brighter compared to the grungy silver of TGC

They're so much more organized and minimalistic now though. Rich has improved the site a lot over the years.


Here we go again!

In retrospect, the design is actually quite similar to these forums. For some reason I remembered a huge change, although I think it was mainly the site that changed. I was probably thinking of the Apollo 2004 Beta though, man, that looked completely different!

Oh, and here is the 'DaCodes' thread from the very, very, very, old forums: http://ep.designex.net/Misc/DaCodes

And finally, a number of sites that some of us may remember:
March, 2000 - Very first DarkBASIC site
August, 2000 - Same as above but a few more images are visible
October, 2000 - 2nd version of the site, first time I saw DB but didn't like it
May, 2001 - 3rd version of the site, created by Rich!!
May, 2001 - Don't know if anyone remembers Rich's DarkForge site
December, 2001 - Lead up to DBP's Release
May, 2002 - 4th site, this is the one where I actually started to stick around (appeared on the forum)
August, 2002 - The first 'DBP' site
September, 2002 - Very Minor changes
February, 2003 - Another iteration (also the last) of the independant DBP site
May, 2003 - More images visible, this is the last version of the independant DBC Site

Good times.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

I miss the first Dark Basic Professional site, it looked more professional, and blended better with Windows.

The new one just kinda reminds me of a budget company.
Maybe that just me though.

I sorta know what you mean - the dodgy Mobile phone ringtones looks like they're from an unwanted popup

Where is the DBC site that used to be separate from the DBPro site? It kind of looked like the original DBC editor I seem to recall.

Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!

A what now? The 3D DB Pyramid comes free with the media in DBP... but I think you must be talking about something else...
