Hey everybody, I thought I'd start this thread based on AnimeSennin's suggestion. Anyway, my idea is that this could just be an informal place to post links and discuss defunct anime/manga related sites still available on the Wayback Machine. To start off, I thought I'd put up an obvious one and some thoughts.
One site that I remember well is fansubs.net https://web.archive.org/web/19981203140 ... nsubs.net/ I know this came later for a lot of you guys, but I was one those fans who didn't get Internet access at home until the mid 90s due to the high cost of PCs. So, when I finally got into fansubs (and not Streamline, Animeigo, CPM, etc. official titles only) this was how I found them. I can't remember how far back fansubs.net went, but I'm almost positive I was on there before 1998, which is the earliest snapshot I found. I think I posted on their BBS once or twice and visited their IRC channel on EFNet, but it wasn't a community that I really got involved with, primarily I relied on them for links to fansubbers.
So what are your memories of fansubs.net? Was it anyone elses's first gateway into VHS fansubs, or were you trading tapes at conventions long before? And if you don't have any, feel free to share another site from the Wayback Machine.

Re: Random archive.org Way Back Machine Recommendations Thre
I'd like to see a place that has the timed scripts archived. In the BBS days, they were everywhere if you got onto those BBS's and to a smaller extent FTP sites. Seems they're all in the ether now which is sad. Hours and hours of work gone.

Hmmm... I remember quite a few of the #anime! people... the logs are from after I stopped being on there regularly (1992~1996 I believe). Hmmm... I wonder whatever happened to some of them... hm.

Ben Ettinger's college anime page: http://web.archive.org/web/199612201659 ... anime.html I think many folks would consider Ben Ettinger the father of American sakuga fandom, so it's interesting to see what he was up to before AniPages.

Ben Ettinger seems to be the smartest dude on the block that NO ONE seems to give him the respect he deserves. I don't know how much that Charles Dunbar fellow knows about anime, but it might be meager in comparison to Ben.
