Oh, no...

These types of threads always attract those with rose-tinted lenses, so I'm just going to post all their trite comments before they do.
  • "Man, the forum was so much better back then!"
  • "Those were the days, when real black hatters were here, shootin' the shit!
  • "IRC FTW"
  • The REAL BLACK Hat World. It should be called White Hat World now, LOL!"
  • The forum was way more active back then. I remember a posting a thread and getting 5 million responses, it was insane".
  • "Why can't the forum be like it was in 2008! God, I hate what this place has turned into! Why am I even here still? I'm so angry that progress has been made and time has not stood still for me!"
  • "Progress has not been made! If anything, the forum has gone backwards! You don't understand, @Zwielicht!"
  • "You are aware of what the forum has turned into, yet you fail to do anything about it, solitary administrator! You and your corruption are part of the problem, and my anarchy is part of the solution. (Insert Immortal Technique-esque buzzwords here)".
But to get back on topic, that old logo was really something else. It was back when the logo made this place look like a flasher forum..

SEO was so easy that you can rank only by thinking about your keyword :D
 
Advertise on BHW
Back then there were TWO GIANT FORUMS that dominated the online marketing forum niche.....

They are not SHELLS of their former selves

BHW survived
 
So, you know the truthts

I was not aware that was ever a category on BHW. Let me see what information I can dig up about it.

Not to get back, you hold on. All what you listed is true and you know it.
 
@Zwielicht people don’t understand tech world can’t be constant it’s always changing. I thought Orkut was life then came Facebook … and now I’m seeing fall of X what they all had in common was they forgot who they were made for and busy minting money.

BHW has seen changes, members leaving and coming but one thing not changed is they yet remember this forum is for users and while they do like giving a free pass many tru to take advantage.

I wasn’t on old BHW but I was part of it for last few year’s and if I wasn’t sure my life would have been boring and wait did I forget to add I can call out those seo gurus when they say wrong stuff and heck I’m not even an seo pro lol.

I’ll end at this note saying BHW 2.0 is coming so good time to screenshot this background and in 2033 we can make a fresh thread good old 2023 :p

I finished looking into it.

It's not even archived on BHW, possibly because it was removed well before I joined BHW. However, you can find a link to the subforum on archive.org.
  • Subforum: https://web.archive.org/web/20061030170340/http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/nice-and-terrible-websites/

The URL structure for BHW was different back then, but the thread IDs shown on archive.org still work as well! Here are the threads from the screenshot above.
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/funny-site.55/https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/most-useless-websites.54/https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/fugly-looking-websites.7/I did lock a couple of those threads just now so they don't get bumped, but feel free to read through them if you want to.

You are so smart. firstly I also thought it is from web.archive.org, which can get past indexed pages as part of site history easily.

Actually speaking, I firstly knew BHW it was year of 2010 when I was a new SEOer. all is Memory about Online Marketing. forum, blog, on-page, link building.
Also calls my memory about Facebook in 2010.
