This was a screenshot I took on August 15, 2000. 8 days after the launch of the site. Pretty crazy.Also, that IS Netscape that I'm using. What a n00b.

I can't believe the reason I first happened upon this site was when I was eleven years old and all because of Neopets.

That was DeviantART, 11 years ago? Oh my... For some reason, I feel that I have seen it before.. Also a long time ago.
Pffft, I'm just glad that I am on DeviantArt now. ^^
It has been the best site ever. And hopefully it will always be the best site ever

Do you have all the screen shots of DA throughout it's lifespan?
I think I've been to DA before years ago. And I remember it looking very different. One thing I remember the most is DA being much darker shade of green.
Thanx.

I joined about one year later. It was a great fun although completely different experience than nowadays. Maybe better, maybe worse. You always lose something when you and your projects grow up.
Nostalgia. eh...

first time I "stumbled" across dA was around 2004/2005... so I never got to see the early design(s).
now I kinda wish I could explore the first design a bit, just to see the how far it has come since then.
and I'm terrribly curious about the HTML coding from back then.

deviantART was one of the first sites to have a tableless layout. We have always been, technologically, ahead of our time.
