I couldn't help myself though. I was looking through the wayback machine today and found a couple of versions of NS. Man... I can not believe how much this place has changed in the last few years!

I came on in September of 2004, just 4 short years ago... and fuck wow shit has gone banannas since then. Check it:

Newschoolers December 2000

2000 is just one year after the site launched...
2002 is what most would consider "the good old days"
2005 is when everything changed... traffic doubled that year following the fall of Freeze magazine.

Wow... I just can't believe it!

I remember reading about NS in some magazine and it was something like:

"newschoolers.com is a good place to find information, but its gotta ton of useless shit you just have to ignore"

Then the next day I came on and just watched videos of guys doing backflips and thought it was pretty dope. About a year or two later I joined, and it ruined my life forever.
