It looks like one of the few awesome Lunar sites left on the web has finally died.
dragontribe.net has been around for a REALLY long time, and hasn't been updated since 2002. I hadn't checked it in about a month, and finally when I went to it just a few minutes ago to do my usual oekaki board browsing...I found out it is gone. I'm kinda hoping its just temporarily down...but seeing as it hasn't been updated since 2002...
Wasn't that Blake's Flying Cat homepage? That was around since I first got on the internet, and has LunarNET beat by a year or two. That sucks if it's gone for good.
I'm glad it's back up. The link above is the archived pages from the site at archive.org. You can see what it (or millions of other sites for that matter) looked like years ago. The asterisks mark site updates. The Wayback Machine is great for nostalgia, at least when the links work anyway.
It's not perfect, the sites are usually only partially completed, and doesn't always back up images either, but it's a fun way to look at how a website evolves over years of time. Just the fact that there's a site up that's trying to back up the internet is amazing to me. It's also useful if you're re-designing a site and someone loses a source image from months or years back, and has lots of free public domain videos and streaming/downloadable live concerts including bands like The Smashing Pumpkins. Cool Site.
See if you remember this link... I was about 3 years late. Lunar Net from March 30, 2002: http://web.archive.org/web/200203301038 ... r-net.com/
New features included Lunar Legend Wallpaper which was just unveiled. Awesomeness.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, it scared me too. >_<;
When I clicked on it to find it wasn't there a few days ago freaked me out, but its back now, so I'm not depressed anymore or freaked out.
Btw, looking at the old L-Net, I remember when I used to lurk the L-Net forums before 2002. Didn't there used to be a shop and gold feature on the forums back then? I think there was also a pretty big RP forum if I remember right. Now, the RP board is dead. Poor RP board.
Hah, yes. For a while there was a gold function, and a whole RPG integrated into the boards. Then they took up too much bandwidth because people got carried away. >_>
