Ik001 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Soul Source : The beginning?? Are there any members out there who remember how and what actual date Soul Source was initially founded and by whom? I've been a member since 2005 and still have recorded tapes of downloaded Soul records but can't remember any of the other Facilities? No sales or wants or photos could have been a chat room but not sure, I've slept a bit since then. Perhaps some of the I.T. may like to comment?

Guest MBarrett Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not sure if anyone on here knows about the "Wayback Machine". I think it is run by a US University and claims to have 286 billion webpages saved since the early days of the net. I tried Soul Source and there is quite a lot of stuff on there. The very earliest snapshot they have is March 2000. Some formatting, images etc. gets lost - but you can't have everything!! Click at the bottom here for the earliest Home Page they have. Several of the links seem to work. i.e. Interview with Irish Greg in the middle column, event reviews down the left etc. etc. If anyone is interested I can explain how to get to all the stuff they have for Soul Source since 2000. Please can somebody at least confirm that the link works for you. It does for me. https://web.archive.org/web/20000302134125/https://www.soul-source.co.uk:80/soulsource.htm Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MBarrett Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well I apologise for trying to help. Had you thought that people can use Wayback Machine for snapshots of other websites other than this one. When I first saw it I went wow! Everyone else I have ever shown it to went wow! And here I get "ffs" for my trouble. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dobber Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 i joined very early 2000's with a different account,but i recall going on a different soul forum around the same time,and for a short time prefering that one,however i returned to soul source and ending up starting a new account cos i couldnt remember my login details,soul source as gone on to be the only soul forum worth spending any time on. so well done on nearly 20 years!

I bought 3 pairs although I just use them for walking when I'm on a city break holiday. They're too grippy to dance in. The Casino's floor was an exception.

Drew (since Nov 2005). its hard to really say as the member system was changed/reset a couple of times in the early years as the system used for the site changed but if you click here list of soul source members via joining date you get the current list of members started aug 26 2002 -displayed by the order of joining Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
