See Triond The Way It Was in 2006!

What if you had a time machine and you could go back in the past and see things the way they were? Well, there is one website that I know of that lets you do just that! I stumbled upon (no pun intended) a website that allows you to see websites the way they were even from inception! It is http://www.archive.org/ and it has a program called “Internet Archive Wayback Machine Beta.” It is incredible! If you know a site that is no longer offering a particular software that was free you can “go back in time” and get it! It really works! For those of you who read my article Blast From The Past (Triond Sites’ History) you can consider this a Part Two. Let us take another blast from the past and see what Triond was like in 2006.

Here is how you do it. Go to http://www.archive.org/ and type in www.triond.com in the search box provided and click the “Go Wayback” button. You can also access it at the following link:

http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.triond.com

You will see a screen with a calendar of dates.

The dates that are highlighted are the dates of Triond pages in the past that you have access to. Click on the one you want and that is your portal to an earlier time in Triond. Now you have your own time machine! By the way, I am not sure if that was the actual color scheme of the site or not but that was when Triond was in its embryonic stages.

(1)   The “Just Published” Section

In 2006 Triond had a “Just Published” Section where you could see which writer had just published what. This is still evident in Triond publishing sites like Relijournal but they just show four recently published articles.

(2)   Newest Sign-ups

In 2006 if you had just signed up to write on Triond you would see your name or username on a list with people who had recently joined as well. See the snapshot above. You can surf the calendar of dates on which  Triond was crawled and see when some of your friends joined Triond as well as some who have either changed their username, are inactive or have left Triond.

(3)   “Most Active Members” Section

For those who work tirelessly on Triond, back in 2006 you may have made the list of “Most Active Members.” Some of the writers often making that list in 2006 was Kristie Leigh Karns, Neil Carl Scholes and Shergill.

(4)   The “Hot Content” Section

For some time now the “Hot Content” Section has been ruled by Mnofdichotomy, Ulsterman, Jimmy Shilaho and others. In 2006 the names we see appearing there often are Krigjsman, Guyava, Allen Strider, Roger Robert, Zero Reed, Shergill, Neil Carl Scholes and others depending on which date you look at. This is living testimony that the crown does not endure to every generation. (See Prov. 27:24).

In those days Triond did not take the most popular article of ten to twelve sites as nowadays since many of the sites connected with Triond that we are familiar with today were not then in existence. See Blast From The Past (Triond Sites’ History) As you peruse the older version of Triond you will see many articles in the “Hot Content” Section coming from Triond’s partner site Quazen.

My! How things have changed! This just proves that nothing is static. Time rolls on and many things that people have gotten accustomed to in the past are no more and are not remembered. As Eccles. 2:16 says “… that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten….” Again the wise man Solomon says in Eccles. 1:11 “There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.” Now people can remember a bit more of the past. This time machine site is really a classic!
