I plan on making this a series and bumping this thread each day with the next year in TD.com visual history.

Some of the newer members might get a kick of out this

(Keep in mind archive.org handles really old pictures poorly in the Waybackmachine, but this is still fun to look at.)

I give to you, the visual history of TD.com

Waybackmachine first picks up Tigerdroppings.com in 2001

2002



Obviously Chicken and the TD crew realized they had comedy gold and content (back in 2001 which is interesting) to build on with the "editorial" section in 2001. This was also peak internet message board time, I lived on forums from 1999-2004.

TD.com went down most of 2002 for it's first major re-design and the debut of both THE TIGER RANT message board, and the tOfficial OT LOUNGE.

These have clickable links you can go into some of these posts to read the 2002 posts, pretty cool.

It was 2001, it's so bright and hurts my eyes, makes you wonder how long they kept it that way, the net was just really taking off, lots to learn, stay tuned
