Back in 98 and 99 I was a regular on Getbig. I remember that shitty old Java chat room. Besides that ths website has not changed or evolved at all. Same as 1999.
If you had actually been here since then, you wouldn't have it's the same. The board has changed in many ways. From the layout of the (as Vince said) the scrolling text engine, the people here (Vikingpower, Flower, Geo, Goatboy, Slippeddisc, and many many others), the accepted behavior is far FAR different now. From the ownings, meltdowns and people finding personal info on others...to being TO'd far quicker. Ron is harder on the gimmicks too.
I've been here about 10yrs, and remember quite a bit. Every now and again a thread like this pops up, and I like to see what people do and do not remember.
