I'm sure you've all already heard of The Wayback Machine fron Internet Archive, but for those who haven't, it's a really cool online tool to essentially go back in time to see what a website was long as far back as it was recorded. For example, I searched up pchelpforum.com (the old, dead site) with the Wayback machine, and here are some of my findings:
MAY 28, 2004 - when I was a brand new human, when PCHF was only 14 days old, and Windows XP was the newest version of Windows.
APRIL 11, 2014 - Jumping pretty far into the future, here's just a cool old layout before Windows 10...
JUNE 18, 2016 - Pretty much right before the demise of PCHelpForum.com, and the old layout that I remember from when I first joined there.
Of course, you can scroll down and see more, but I didn't feel like screenshotting all of that so feel free to discover this awesome tool for yourself!

**Bonus - pchelpforum.net when it was pretty much nothing: (I actually like this of Mac OS X looking format)

. It was very neat. It's like time traveling through Cyberspace except no traveling to future websites
. I found that site 2 days ago. Several pasts sites will even let you download old versions of software. Just be careful that you don't run into a old Malware site that might have Malware on it.
