Window into the past

Post by PrincessOfVampires »

Hey guys, look what I found in the depths of the internet.

https://web.archive.org/web/20100515101 ... tream.com/

I through it is a nice little nostalgic memory for these who were around in the beginning and for newer users it could be interesting to see what the site looked like before.

Do you like it? :D

I'm thinking that that picture was there when I joined and I loved it, I still remember it and it had that bit of personality that's just, so nice
This Signature looks so bad on mobile. Good lord it is HUGE. I'll need to work on that at some point. For now though I sleep

I have been around long enough to remember the header with Thane in it - actually it took me a long time to get used to him being gone. :lol: I think it might be cool to have rotating NPC faces in the header although I realize that would involve work to get the various NPCs drawn up first. :sweat: Just food for thought...

It's been a great 11 years....here's to many more. :well: <3

ETA...

Went looking - looks like the banner change was for the 3rd Magiversary...in 2012.

Oh man! I love the new one, of course, but wow, instant nostalgia.

I remember it, but I liked it best when the header image was only about an inch tall. The larger image takes up too much verticle space IMO, and I wish the site would go back to the smaller header.
I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Aw, I miss the Thane header. Wish it was still around, but i don't think that gold menu bar aged very well :lol:

This brings back a ton of memories...

Ohmygosh! That almost made me cry!
I forgot how much I loved that header~

I joined back then when I was struggling through teenagerdom in high school and it helped me make friends, both here and at school (my group of friends all played for a while)... it helped me settle into myself at the time. I fell out of touch with the site for a long time (almost 10 years, I think lol) and now I've come back.... again... and once again, MagiStream is that sweet little sunbeam of light in my day alllll the time, and I probably wouldn't be trying as hard to overcome my issues in my life right now if not for this site and the people on it.


Thank you so much for sharing this. :') <3
It reminds me of how far I've come.

TwT Omg this post really did make me cry! Haha!
