Hackforums from 2007-2016

Well, HF is almost 10 years old.

Recently, another user by the name of Nachfolger pointed out you could view hackforums with web.archive.org, so I got a great idea.

Here is what hackforums looked like each year.

FYI, if you're asking why the months are different, sometimes there was not an archive for that month.

Well at least we know you aren't a multi - a multi would have seen one of these already.
Great to see the evolution of HF!

Low-key, the original Hack Forums logo was pretty tight. I'd be like 110% down to bring that back and use that instead of the current one with a few minor modifications.

Oh wow that old theme looks so fucking different! So 2014 is when it initially took on its current style then?
If I clicked on hack forums back when it had that purple theme it would have completely deterred me from singing up... So i'm sort of glad I didn't find it earlier now haha.

(No hate or offense intended, it just looks alot smoother and user friendly now than it does in those older screenshots but I could be wrong)
Honestly, I didn't know the new theme wasn't introduced till like 2014. I assumed it was introduced in like 2012-13. Ha.

I just assumed it has always looked this way, but I'm just naive when it comes to stupid shit like web design. (its not stupid but I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about so when I speak of it, it sounds stupid.)

The blue theme became the default around then. The purple theme is still an option in the userCP though.
