Hey all, I know most of us have sites to display our pic but I am in a bit of a pickle here. Around 5 years ago I joined a site, and I believe J did also, and uploaded all my pics. Well, since then, I went with photobucket to upload my more "personal" pics and left the other one for just my travels. Now I can't remember the old website and Goole ain't helping at all. It is not Flicker, Shutterfly or any of the new ones. Like I said it is about 5 years ago when I started so any names anyone can give me will help me recover some of my losses.

I used to have the link here but with all the updates and unfortunate crashes I do believe the link has died and fell in the black hole.

Thanks all,
Mark

I was looking through an Internet archive site that I use to see if I could find the info for you. Unfortunately the Internet archive doesn't work so well for database driven sites which this one appears to be. I thought I'd share this anyway.

Here's Carowinds Connection in its first year: [note, the links often take a while to open from the archive]

http://web.archive.org/web/20031013042259/http://www.carowindsconnection.com/

The site kept the same look through 2004:

http://web.archive.org/web/20040623172055/http://www.carowindsconnection.com/

It got a new look in 2005:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050316234100/www.carowindsconnection.com/community/

And again in 2006:

http://web.archive.org/web/20060618205346/carowindsconnection.com/community/

2007 pretty much appears to be the same:

http://web.archive.org/web/20071002220406/www.carowindsconnection.com/community/

And there is another new look in 2008:

http://web.archive.org/web/20080406014654/http://www.carowindsconnection.com/

I assume this current look started in 2009 or 2010 but the Internet archive doesn't have any snapshots from those years. Things are usually quite slow to get added to the database.

Well, my reply is off topic but I came across it while looking for something from the original post, so I thought I'd share it here. It's neat to see, especially for us newer members.

^And I have been here for all of them. :| The current scheme started about a week before Intimidator was announced last August.

Sorry Mark! I was away on vacation or I would have remembered the site immediately. While everything new goes to my flickr I still look at my pbase from time to time and enjoy its customization-ability. I probably would have stayed with pbase if they weren't asking for money every single time I wanted to upload a picture or two.
