The one thing about this I like is the nostalgia.

I've been using google since 1998. Google, for me, is still the underdog who is better than everyone else, despite the fact that they now practically owns the internet.

but i guess if i can't prove that its fake right?

Nah easily proved Binary, IAB automatically traces the IP, name, address, phone and credit card numbers of every visitor, just in case we ever want to replace it with a porn spam site Oops too much info.

Lionhart:

Judging by that, I got into IAB in early '06. I remember those bulls eye adds, and that list of sites

"PS, "soft" G is a "geh" sound, "hard" G is the "J" sound. You even got that part wrong."

Uh... sorry, Lionhart... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_so...

I agree with everything else you said though.

> triggy
> gifs pronounced JIFF btw I hate people who pronounce it with a hard G cos thats not right

You're wrong, it's pronounced giff not jiff. Nerds who like to pretend they know more about computers than others pronounce it "jiff" because they think it makes them look 1337, but actually it shows how stupid they are, because JIF is the JPEG Interchange Format ("pure" JPG format) and they are actually calling a spade a hammer.

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. Acronyms are always pronounced according to the phonetic sound of the words the letters represent. If it was "General Interchange Format", for example, "jiff" would be correct, but as its a soft-G "graphics", it is pronounced giff.

PS, "soft" G is a "geh" sound, "hard" G is the "J" sound. You even got that part wrong.

Somewhere around April 2003. Check the Internet Wayback Machine pages around that time, a couple of different looks tried first.

It's been posted before, but for those who haven't seen it, here's a link to i-am-bored.com, Sep 22, 2002 (prior to that there's just a "domain registered" placeholder).
