Hi y'all.

Shout out to kElvin and ethno and Gumby and Agent Nyever and delysid and the mythical wolfsblood from wayback.

Each of you were amongst the purest souls I've ever known and I miss you and the young idealism, so bright, most dearly. It's a different game now. Someone once described the earliest incarnations of the board as a "musky leper's colony" in a good way- the freakiest of freaks commiserating and "con-spiring" [Latin: "to breath together"]

I am writing again to ask if there is ANYWHERE online that archived the earlier eras of this site (.world prior to -nexus) or even earlier when we were but a few fools trading stories of phalaris-grass slime amongst pictures of water fairies and dryads and nymphs, which was and is still all this is about anyway.

I must have posted 100 poems. If the earlier sites were not cached or archived somewhere or intigrated here, they are gone forever, which may be for the best. Still, I seek them. Help for an old fellow elf?

dmt world was around 18 years ago? 0_o

always good to see long time explorers around. welcome (back) to the forum!

Perhaps search the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive?

http://archive.org/web/web.php

I don't recall a dmt specific forum 18 years ago.

Either way, welcome back.

A cached copy of dmtworld.org used to be accessible via the Wayback Machine (archive.org) -- I remember looking through it about five years ago. But apparently the current operator of the domain (looks like a generic spam/advertising site) added a robots.txt file that stops archive.org from displaying any previous cached copies. I would assume that those copies still exist somewhere, but they can't be accessed by the public

As I recall, the Nexus was created to fill the void after DMT World went down. So we're a continuation of DMT World only in spirit, not in actuality (thus the old databases are not preserved on this site).

I remember lurking on the DMT World forums around 2003/2004... were they really around since the mid-1990s? As far as internet discussion boards go, I remember those being the days of Usenet boards. If you're looking for Usenet posts, I think that archives of those discussion boards can usually be found.

Good luck in your quest.

The first real forums started appearing in the late 90's. 96-97 several goods ones were up and running, tho short lived.

once upon a time in 7th grade (17 years ago) there was a nerd who prefered
to spend his recess inside the school library in which (this was back in the day)
was the ONLY computer in the school, and it was so slow it was nearly unusable. The nerd stumbled on a site (list of sites really) called the "Dioxyribonucleic Hyoperdimension" and from there to a collection of essays by terrence mckenna, one of which was "The tykes". That hooked me. tangent from there was a bulletin board of posts, experiences, laughably antiquated theories about phalaris and a chick called QT. There were also images of water-nymphs and goblins and fairies and such amongst the bulletin board posts. Good times!
What I wouldn't give for a cache....

deoxy.org is still up. Altered format, but all the original information is there.
I got started looking up the ftp site hyperreal.com as well.

how bout this page?

Either way, that is what was happening at that time. Things are different now, no need to cling to the old ways, we've all been evolving over the last two decades.

It's still around brother.

Nevermind, ringworm already posted it. Ahh well. 2 links for the win.
