Screenshots of the old Lewd.sx ui?

Dex Interesting seeing how it's grown. That's not even the OG OG design. This is the oldest (non-broken) archive that web.archive.org has https://web.archive.org/web/20141221005844/https://lewd.sx/

Some lesser known info, when I originally made Lewd and Clicky and I were designing it, it wasn't even MyBB. That was the second iteration of Lewd before the current forum software. If memory serves, it was IP Board. At the time, too, we used a premade theme. I would have to do some ungodly amounts of digging to find the name of it. We based the original theme for Lewd off of that one though, whatever it was called.

Our next iteration in terms of design was here https://web.archive.org/web/20160114231050/https://lewd.sx/
This was actually another project I had with clicky, for a site called brutal.pw. At this moment in time, Clicky and I had a small themeing "business" of sorts for forums we called MyBB Solutions.

At the time, I was 13, 14 when Lewd was made. I obviously didn't have the funding to keep it up as longer than just a pet project. I did some online work on the side doing web design, but not consistent enough to "make it." So Lewd changed hands to Clicky. Clicky and I would continue to do other projects together for a little bit going forward, but we eventually just went our separate ways in life.

Weird to look back and see things like this. I'm 23 now, turning 24 this year, and this was all definitely instrumental parts of my development I'd say. https://lewd.sx/d/1-were-back

    Damn, pretty cool that you started this then you were so young! I'm kinda surprised to find out that you're younger than me ^^'

    Looks like I joined for the 2nd iteration then, good times~

    What are you working on these days?

      Equinox i think i signed up when it looked like that. Wow that is so kwazy that you're younger than me haha i always thought forum owners were all in their like 20s or smth when i was beginning to be active xd

        As far as programming goes, not much anymore. For a long while there I was doing low level kernel space programs, but after a few years of being a slave to C, I eventually stopped. Nowadays I just work on my car, and rebuild old electronics that get thrown out.

          Equinox How dare you speak of C like that! All the horrendous memory bugs make for excellent job security!

          Equinox is it just me or do none of the archive links work anymore? we shoudlve screenshotted the designs for archival sake

            Dex I think archive.org might just be broken at the moment. Probably busy purging a bunch of stuff.

            Dex Looks like it's working again! I would upload screenshots, but catbox is being a bit broken right now >_>

              kc2n Looking at this now, I remember at the time of the archive link, a bunch of forums started getting upgraded to look like that. The update that came to where this forum looks mostly like this now was a very unique departure
