That's happened to the whole internet and TV. Cable channel adverts last almost as long as the shows themselves now. It's getting a bit out of hand. I don't mind if sites need ads to keep going but flash ads seem to be crashing Safari more and more - a few on this site. Use gifs or something.
The boards have gotten a little uglier over the last couple years, although they have become more functional. I think that might be just because the general trend of forums. Could also be not having Brad as a minion haha. I have learned to like the 'insider' information a lot more though. It's the first site I check out now.
Wow... I am really glad I wasn't around here before Summer last year... those are some really bad layouts, especially 1999.

The layout hasn't changed much. The colors and the members, to some degree, have. I can't believe that I've now been on AI for over eight years. Yikes.

2002-2003 were slow news years, it seems.
That's an understatement.

You weren't born then
So, basically more ads.

Yeah, noticed that too. That said, the boards are so much better designed now and operate a hell of a lot better.
How long did the blackout last? I registered in January 2000 I think originally...

I don't know how long exactly, but it sure felt like forever.

I came across the blackout when trying to get screenshots. You can check how long it lasted at www.archive.org -- the way back machine.
