Interference history...

[yertle-the-turtle]

Hmm, I'm not quite sure whether this should go here or Stuck In A Moment, but that seems like a technical help only area, so I posted it here.

Simply put, I'm just wondering about older versions of Interference. As you can tell, I registered sometime last year, and I'd just like to know about Interference before that. How long has it been around? Was it just "forum/chat/lyrics" all along? Who was the first member (other than Elvis, I assume) to register? What were the original forums, and which ones were taken away and which were added on? How old is New Media?

I'm just curious.

well I'm no help...we're both registered about the same time

There is a site where there are archives of web pages....

except now I can't remember the name or the link.

I think Sicy has screen shots of the original forum....

Hey, this is pretty cool...I'm checking out the Discotheque Diaries from 1996!

"It's Official...
Discuss things that fall into the 'official' realm of U2 (ie. U2.com, Propaganda)"

from June 2000...odd how that changed.

I used to check out Interference everday, back in 96, for the latest U2 news... right before POP.

Too weird. I remember my first view of this site was back in 1998. I remember looking at the POP postcards, lol.

i can't believe i knew about this before melon! i love the archive.org site. it's funny cuz like all of my previous sites are archived, so i can see how crappy my old U2 site looked.

i remember coming to interference back in 96 or 97. i don't remember exactly when i started coming to the site, but when i saw the early archives (pre-blue blackground) i remembered it like it was yesterday. however, for some odd reason, i didn't discover the forums here until 2001. or was it 2002? i dunno, i registered as soon as i noticed them, so whatever my reg date says.

i also remember hearing about the discotheque leak, and wanting to listen, except i couldn't play mp3s on my computer! yeah, they were too cool for my computer - or more specifially, my processor.

that's some crazy stuff! *wishes she'd known about interference back then* *not that her family had a computer until 1998*

They frowned severely when you looked up U2 in the school library...
