Celebrating 16ness, or 16 years online - 22/3/2001-22/3/2017
As some of you may know, TV Whirl's 16th birthday was on the 22nd March (I would have posted last night, but news events of yesterday evening didn't make a celebration seem particularly appropriate). Yep, we've been here through thick and thin since 2001 now, which is probably before some forum members were even born!
To celebrate, every day for the next 16 days over on the site's Twitter feed, I'm digging out all the old designs and the actual clips from those golden olden days. Yes, it's going to be your chance to relive such gems as the animated GIF logo from revision 2.6, those 10 fps video clips in RealMedia Format, and that time when the site used to have a mocks section on there, optimistically called 'tesfun'. I can also promise boatloads of purple in more garish shades than you can imagine, and that Harlow Solid Italic font that just never goes away.

You can track everything under the hashtag #16ness. I did want Parr to film it all with some dodgy camerawork, but he was busy so you'll just have to make do with me!
