Six years ago, The Abh Nation, then NationSafugnoff, began it's existence. In six years the nation has struggled, prospered, and soared to great heights. Though the golden age is behind us, we can still remember the glory years of the nation, now more vividly than ever.

As promised in, "The Abh Blog" I have prepared a special piece of work to be unveiled on the sixth anniversary of the nation, and now that time has come.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present The Abh Nation's National Archive!

I have had the idea for a long time of collecting all the previous versions of NationSafugnoff together and making them viewable once more, to the public. Finally I had some free time to accomplish this goal. However in the process, the project took on a life of it's own and warranted the creation of a separate website. In the end, it became more than just a collection of previous versions of the nation, but a repository of the site's past. In the archives, I've included semi-fully restored versions of all the versions of NationSafugnoff ever released. I spent many tens of hours pouring through old files and had much help from archive.org's, "Internet Way Back Machine". I also decided to include archives of two other sites that heavily influenced NationSafugnoff in the early years, as well as a brief chronicle of the nation's history. Also included are notes on each version's restoration, and significance.

Admittedly, the project was more for my own satisfaction than for anything else, but I hope that you will enjoy browsing through it, and just perhaps it may be possible, that you will get a laugh out of the absurdity of some of the color schemes that once graced the nation.

A very impressive compilation I must say. I'll look more into it later. Will be a very nice archive to look back on at some point later in life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

A bit late but Happy New Years to you guys. I'll take my time later and browse through the archives.

@ Almael - What happened to your avatar? That sends off a very different image of you. Hmmm...too colorful maybe.

Well, I got a bit bored, and thought, I would make my avatar blink.
I ended up taking what I got instead of editing.
Anyway, I will play around then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Really nice to see the archives... I think I first stopped by in 2004 in the TechTV website battle at the time... towards the latter end of things. Didn't register till it became the Nation though.

My only thing is... it sets a really depressing outlook for the site.
A nation without hope, even false hope, will falter under the weight of it's own brooding.

Viva la Abh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/kan64.gif)

Oh man, nostalgia attack. Thinking about how old crest of the stars is makes me feel the fact that I am actually aging.

Hell, perhaps someday a new anime or something will surface, and well get some activity again, but until then, this place can just keep sitting here... Fueled (At least somewhat.) by those of us who are left.

Edit: Just read the whole thing and, man, this website and the English Seikai Community has come a long way.

Thanks for working so hard all this time, Acid. Even though I wasn't there for the whole progression of the site, even now I can still appreciate it.

There's a few broken links though. Nothing major.

Some of the original pages were missing when I undertook this project... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Well dang. I'd be nice to see them, but overall the project was well worth the effort IMO.

Ahh, good, good. Very functional. And bless my weak heart, but damn the early versions of Nation Safugnoff were an eyesore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Cheers for six years!
(Yes, I'm still here. I lurk.)

Isn't that how all websites start off? Small and simplistic and growing in size and sophistication from there?
