Celebrate GBAtemp's 20th birthday month in style ... 2002 style!

Take a journey back to the past with our limited-time retro, throwback style!

This nostalgic GBAtemp style harkens back to GBAtemp's past and is a recreation of the forum style used between 2002 and 2006. While not totally accurate, we thought it would be a fun way to browse GBAtemp as we celebrate our 20th anniversary.

Did someone say "pips"?

Yes, pips are also making a return! You'll find them proudly displayed on your profile and next to posts replacing the XP level bar on this style (don't worry, you'll still accumulate and gain XP even if you're using the throwback style).

Interested in reading more about pips? View the Member Ranks article on our Wiki for more information! Pip pip! Cheerio!

Happy 20th birthday, GBAtemp!

The Pips are baaaack!
Ghosts chompin' at their feet, the Pips are here!
The Pips just can't be beat, yeeeeah!

I have been here nearly 20 years. I think this is my oldest profile online. Any other old timers still around?

 

[Error-1-2435-8325]

I honestly think that the Throwback theme should be a permanent option. It's great!

Is it weird that I really hope this retro style stays? It's honestly really nice... And I was barely even alive back when this is what the site looked like normally, and even I think it looks good to this day..

Yup!

 

[Slinger]

OH! Oh wow! This brings back the memories! *Changes theme immediately*

Man, I had an account back in the days. Sadly it doesn't seem to exist any more (so I created this account). I don't want to cause work, but would it be possible to recover it somehow? I mean, I know it's probably lost in the sands of time, but having the original "Joined" date would be cool (I had a different user name back then, but I can still remember it, the password, and at least paraphrase my silly custom title...)

Been a while, but I love the old style...

The 2000's were the best time for UI design, change my mind.
