Before downthetubes moved to its current platform the site was initially built in HTML Some news items and features have not yet been republished here, but you can now view a "News Archive" of some items published in our early years here before the move to Blogger (in 2007, those items posted on that platform long since imported to this site) and our current platform in 2013.

• downthetubes News Archive Pages

Some interviews and feature items from older versions of the web site are also still archived and offline. We continue to add these as time permits.

• The Internet Archive "Wayback" has archived downthetubes since its inception
