I ran a pet project website back in 2010, userdesktops.org, with the sole aim of collecting all desk shots from the top forums back in the day, posted in the infamous and usually pinned threads, titled "Post your desktop" or "Show off". I compiled a pile of scripts on top of wget, curl, httrack, ImageMagick and customized a Firefox build to allow for easy scraping from the most common bulletin scripts in use at the time. As the project's sole aim was pure nostalgia and server hosting and bandwidth were quite expensive back then I quickly put it to rest after no more than an year I think. Now I'm kinda sorry for not leaving at least the scraping to go on for longer, I'm pretty sure the forums queue was cut short of at least a couple hundred potential targets and god knows how many desktops. Anyways, I've scoured for my old server backups and lo and behold, here are 2362 pure shots of geeky nostalgia: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz62Jn3RBbYSbVNsdGlqSzI1Qk0&usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz62Jn3RBbYSbVNsdGlq...
