Old screenshots of the Codex?

[Severian Silk]

Anyone have old screenshots of the Codex from before @Exitium left with all his graphics?

 

[Nugs]

According to Codex in 2007, Oblivion is the best RPG ever made.

 

[Xor]

Archive.org has snapshots of the codex going back to 2007.

it wasn't a turn-based RPG for that matter. It was real-time RPG with turn-based combat.

What

 

[tuluse]

Magesterial

Why are we not using this instead of majestic?

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I think the reason I never wanted to browse this site pre 2009 or so is that this grey chrome theme was just plain too awful.

What

Ah, that's an oldie but goldie. Right there with "why would you want to kill kids?"

What

Because movement outside of combat isn't turn-based, Fallout isn't a turn-based game; therefore it's silly to complain about Fallout 3 being real-time. Checkmate, nerds.

A fun but short-lived defense of Fallout 3. IIRC Emil used it a couple of times before they settled on calling turn-based combat a technological limitation.

What was the url for the site before 2007?

 

[Coyote]

It used to be www.rpgcodex.com instead of .net. www.iloveoblivion.com

Spoiler

Bethesda censored "rpgcodex" to "iloveoblivion" on their boards at some point, so somebody here bought the domain and redirected it.

 

[Ranselknulf]

It used to be www.rpgcodex.com instead of .net.

Well it looks like rpgcodex.com webarchive goes back to 2002

quoted for great justice

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind continues the series' tradition of non-linear gameplay,

edit..

fuck, even the codex from the past is trying to do popup ad's on me.

Why would you want old codex? Old codex was boring.

Codex circa 1942

IIRC I thought the site had a decent looking gray theme. This is the closest I could find:

I don't think all the CSS background images were archived.

Is that SMA?

 

[Whisky]

God, I think I remember stumbling upon the site back then. Who knew that things would be as they are now?

 

[Night Goat]

That object in the top left reminds me of something.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

[Whisky]

Aw, Gaider really loves us!

I can't imagine why he would be sarcastic!

 

[Jaesun]

 

[Whisky]

Hah! And to think Rex is now a Twitter warrior doing the exact same thing, but for social justice. You can leave the Codex, but the Codex never leaves you.

DarkUnderlord , any chance of getting the grey chrome back?

 

[bloodlover]

That can't be the real Codex. If you check the forums, the people were nice and friendly.

Well his sarcasm jinxed himself and I'm happily playing Blackguards while waiting for DOS and Torment.

Codex really hasn't changed much and I've been here for almost a decade. We have lost some personalities (or they need to post outside of the MIAMI HEAT thread...) :honourblade: Volourn, Rosh, Roqua. I guess hiver makes up for Roqua. There hasn't been anyone lately as easily trollable as @Drog and Qwinn though.
