And here I was hoping you'd actually been keeping screenshots every time it changed its layout over the years. You should have included beta.destructoid.com, though its life was pretty short!
Very nice!... kinda of like those pencil marks on the kitchen doorway that show how tall a kid was at various ages. It's pretty cool to look back and see the growth! :)
Great blog, brings back some memories. I can't believe I was lurker until about the three and a half year mark. Seriously, Dtoid has had an impact on my life that nothing else has ever had.
Man, I didn't join until we had the layout that's still being used for viewing blogs such as these.
Awesome to see the growth, man!

Very cool. It's also sort of fun to look at the article titles displayed in each of the screencaps and remember what the people here had to say about the stuff that was going on in the gaming world at the time. This place has had an enormous effect on me, and it makes me smile to see how much it's grown and developed over the years.
The first time I heard about Destructoid was actually through GamePolitics, apparently when someone wearing the robot head showed up at a political debate and started shouting questions at... Leland Yee, I think. Some politician or businessman, anyway, back in the days when GamePolitics was owned and edited by Dennis McCauley.
I remember thinking not thinking much about it, since I was mostly there to laugh at the delicious Jack Thompson drama.
However I stumbled across this place last year, and honestly couldn't be happier with any site. Any site which not only employs, but champions the behavior of a guy like Jim firmly has tongue in cheek and has no plans whatsoever to bow down to pressure from publishers or developers, which is refreshing in the wake of things like reviewers getting fired for poorly scoring a game the site was advertising.
Good retrospective.

Wonderful blog. I wish I'd been around during those early years - the last photo was the only one I recognised - but hopefully will be for many more to come! Hopefully in five years' time, a community member will be doing something like this for Flixist!
Having never seen anything before 4 years, it's nice to see what the site looked like once upon a time.
Fun stuff! I like the different looks, the nice age progression. Thanks for sharing this. Kinda stalker-ish to be taking pictures of it for so long ;). I've only just begun with Dtoid, but it feels like a second or third home. I can't wait to grow with and get to know my fellow dtoiders.
