On a nostalgia kick?

[Steve the Pocket]

If you're like me, and just recently discovered Ozy and Millie, or if you'd like to access a feature that has recently been deleted from the site (I'm still a little bitter about that), you can actually go and see the "Ozy and Millie" website as it existed in the past!<br>No, what I'm talking about does not involve a flying DeLorean (as much as I'd like one). It's a website. I read about it in a newsletter my dad had lying around. It's at <a href='http://www.archive.org' target='_blank'>www.archive.org</a> and it links you to an archive of all kinds of old websites. Turns out these geeks have been downloading and saving web pages since 1996, and ozyandmille.org is no exception. So now I can read all the old blogs I didn't get around to seeing, and I can look at the fan art he took down, and you can get those link buttons you wanted.<br>Just go to the site and type in "www.ozyandmillie.org" in the box under "Wayback Machine." Then pick the date you want and whammo!<br>Cool, huh?

This is actually a quite well known website, and yes it can be nice. I've never really searched it properly though, might look into it further if i ever get the time.

[Zaaphod]

Yep, that's quite the interesting site. The amount of data they have stored is massive beyond belief.

I posted a link to that archive site some time ago. To bad it doesn't go all the way back though, the earliest archive of O&M I've found is <a href='http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www ... r.com/rain' target='_blank'>Here</a><br><br>can anyone beat November 25 1999?<br><br>P.S. www.ozyandmillie.com and www.ozyandmillie.net have archives as well.<br>and I'm I'm going to try and find the URL's of other old mirror sites.

[Tavis]

This is rather interesting. I checked it on this site and saw it has been archived too!<br><br>I tried both <i>definecynical.mancubus.net</i> and <i>www.definecynical.tk</i> in the searches. It looks like the first address has more archive hits.

[Zylo]

Wow, that's insane. <i>Insanely awesome!</i>

[Holyman83]

wow cool find I was wondering what O&M look like before I got into Ozy and Mille

[simon]

I love that site. It's awesome seeing how the net used to look.

[Foxchild]

i think it's really funny that they have a backup of this site here! THAT in and of itself sais a lot!

[Dr. Doog]

apparently there was an ozyanmillie.com from 1999 to sometime during feb 2004 that we never knew.

That site is indeed well-known and pretty neat, but I think the amount of data, while insanely large, is not as much as one may assume. No images are stored, only the text, and if you compress that you can save a *lot* of space.

[Steve the Pocket]

Not necessarily. I tried the .org site on Feb 02 2001 and I got the images fine. But yeah, some of them seem to have gone missing. Plus, clicking on the "writings" link sent me to the late-2002 version of that page. Weird.

[Dr. Doog]

octan, thats because the images are still there. if it's still there, then it shows it.
