Updated and archived Dec 15th, 2005 (since there was an archive the same day with the previous layout, it's safe to conclude that the layout changed Dec. 15th). This layout was the layout that most "OGs" will be familiar with.

The first archive for the forum is Dec 24th, 2004. At that point, there are only 38 articles and 8 members. Based upon the join date of member1 (baby gaga), it appears the forum went live Dec 14th, 2004.

The most recent archive was Feb 8th, 2008 - a few forums have been added since then.

I'm pretty sure I forgot a few things (like I didn't bother with the various incarnations of the shopping forums, but meh), but I think this is a fairly complete history of baby-gaga and the forums.

Hopefully someone find this interesting, because while I don't need to justify dredging through links like this (frankly, it was fun in a weird, boring way), it'd be nice if someone other than just myself found it interesting, lol.

Let me know if you find any broken links, heh, I had to link everything by hand.

Are u bored sweetheart?

Who actually evercame on here looking for a stoller? lol. i dont think i have ever even looked at that part!

I liked it, but the first one didn't really show anything, haha.

Yes sweetheart, are you?

*bats eyelashes*

Quoting Kristy819:“ Are u bored sweetheart?”

Why?

Quoting Kristy819:“ Are u bored sweetheart?”

If I was bored, would I spend that much time sifting through links?

heh

I couldn't get the first 2 links to work, but all of the rest of them that I tried did. (I looked at like 5 of them) Interesting. I will have to come back and look when I have more time~ Thanks!

I went back, and they worked! SO!!! Never mind that! LOL~

Sometimes the links timeout I find, I'm assuming because of bandwidth issues on the archival site.

cool   thats really interesting to see how far it has come

holy crap your avi is funny!!!

that was pretty interesting   and nice seeing the old layout with the og names and stuff   thanks!

Quoting boo.:“ Why? ”

I was just asking because that took a lot of work.... maybe I'm just too lazy to do anything like that at this point.

That was interesting! I was wondeirng what it was like in the "olden" days with the OG.  

Quoting Momma Erin:“ holy crap your avi is funny!!!”

Thank you~ I found it today, and thought it was funny. Plus I figure it kinda fits the whole pregnancy thing, with morning sickness and all~
