The Old Site - Feeling Nostalgic

Admin, sorry if this is not the right area.
Does anyone here remember the old web site? Had the Diary of a Madman articles (all 175 of them), Wrath's Journey, things like that? It was ran in the mid 2000's. It was sweet, easy, and efficient. Not that I mind the new home page, but I can't find ANY of the old stuff there. Best I could find was a Spanish link (http://sp.animalpak.com/html/article_details.cfm?ID=215) which Google Chrome auto-translates for me, and it works, but I'm trying to see if the old us-based site still exists in an archived format or something. I've stumbled on it in the past, but I haven't had a lot of luck finding it again. Or is there a way to find these older articles on the new page? I hate to sound like a complete novice, but this has been bugging me. Any help is appreciated.

Diary of a Madman...those had me ready to leave work and get in the gym. The two images that I can still see in my head in when he was lifting in a flooded gym or doing a stair workout while carrying 45's. Dairy of a Madman was always a good read and motivator.

G Diesel is my spirit animal. I was going through some hard times back then. I was a young and dumb 19 year old staying with a sucky roommate and my parents were at least an hour away. I was barely getting by. The only thing I had was the old YMCA building and that AoM owner's manual (Man I gotta find one of those again). I even ended up homeless for a bit in the middle of an Iowa winter. (Thanks roomie -_-) Those words in that book kept me going when I didn't really have a lot of hope and a lot of options. It led me to the gym and not down a darker path. Anyways like I said just feeling nostalgic. When I finally found the website it was like a goldmine of inspiration. The officials here really should make an official route to make sure those writings don't disappear into the digital ether.

Thank you Google! Nvm fam I found the thread with the link to the information. Apparently I wasn't the only one looking. For any other OG's looking for the old stuff: http://forum.animalpak.com/showthrea...Madman-Entries

So the Delorean is fixed, and now you guys / gals that have expressed interest and inquired about the older DoM entries and other articles that didn't make the trip to the new site, have a way to "go back in time" and access them. Heck, you can even get to the old Training, Diet and Livin' articles.

1. Go to https://archive.org/web/

2. in the "search" box type Animalpak.com and click "browse history"

\\\ You'll be directed to a page that has a timeline from 1996 to Present Day, that shows dates of updates made to Animalpak.com ///

3. Click one of the blue circled dates. (I clicked May 14, 2016 as was before the site change)

.... Recognize the page that is brought up?.....and there's Diary of a Madman with access to post 1 to 230

4. And you can just click Livin' or Training, or Diet..... and access older goodies in each section.

Carry On !!!

Thank Meltdown, I was merely regurgitating his post.
