The past 14 years here on Seibertron.como has brought many of us together as friends (and some would even say as a family), helped many fans find that elusive toy that has evaded their collections, provided a wealth of knowledge to all of us over the years thanks to the amazing volunteer staff and our regular contributors, and has been a regular source of entertainment in various ways. I look back at the last 14 years and think about how much has changed in our world and with the Transformers fandom since then, and I can't help wonder what the next 14 years will bring.
Thanks to all of you who have made Seibertron.com your online Transformers home. I'm using tonight's premiere of Transformers Age of Extinction to celebrate Seibertron.com's 14th Anniversary with a few of my closest friends. I hope many of you will also get together with your friends and family and enjoy yet another iteration of the Transformers brand that has brought us all together.
And on that note ... transform and roll out, my fellow Seibertronians!

I do miss the screen caps, though. (Unless you have them and I just can't see them...?)

Screen caps are on my list of things to return to at a later date. They've been MIA after a couple of server crashes took them out. You probably won't miss the original images anyways since they were 320x240 instead of the high res images we are used to today that would be 1980 pixels wide.

Unfortunately, "Before Carly There Was ..." section won't ever return.
Humorously enough though, the section is still on the site, just in a hidden directory along with all of those old UK comic scans that were long since removed from public viewing.

What exactly is "Before Carly?"

If you're too young to remember or hadn't been around, maybe you should not be...enlightened.

This means the site's a teenager now. That explains a lot.

(P.S. Hey Ryan, Can you pm or email me those hidden links to the Before Carly and comics?? ........... )

Although I lurk lots and don't post much, I've been a huge fan of this site from way back. Since I was 10. That puts it around 2001. I would go regularly through the galleries and the energon pub regularly. As Jedi Kermit mentioned, I remember the before Carly days. Some very hot girls as I recall...(I would also like to see them, for umm, ahem...nostalgia purposes). Where I lived we barely had Transformers airing, Seibertron was how I sought the information.
Seibertron.com is my home for anything Transformers. You have been putting so much effort into improving it. I remember you moved your php forum into the website somehow (a forward thinking move in web design). You had the heavy metal wars. It was always active with such an amazing and helpful community. I love this place! Actually back in 2002, about the time Halo was a thing, I remember making a geocities website called TFHQ. It was inspired by Seibertron. (I know there is a TFUHQ now, but it's not me). It was the first time I made a website.
Thanks Ryan for making this wonderful website and community. Even though I don't know you, you have impacted me and how I interact with the hobby of Transformers significantly.I wish you nothing but the best of the best for the coming years.

I have to say, after all this time, this is the one site I still check regularly.
I have to thank Mr. Yzquierdo for his hand made creation.
The Seibertron photo galleries have helped me decide on purchasing many a Transformer.
This is the only site I actually allow to display ads.
I don't want to have to pay for Seibertron.com but I'm not saying I wouldn't.
Before Carley was fun while it lasted. I don't like being tempted to hack my favorite web site so thank goodness for the Wayback Machine.
As a tribute I started playing Heavy Metal War again.
That game, most importantly, taught me not to rely on "the cloud." It's pretty easy on level zero these days. Almost too easy.
Good luck and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Edit: Optimus helps Spike up the ladder. Update or delete?

Don't make me ban you. I can do that now.
Though that is one good looking signature you have there.

That was one of the more... *ahem* mature portions of the site. It had photos of girl models with names that were plays on Transformer names. The name "Before Carly" stems from Spike's girlfriend in the original series.
It even featured a .gif of poor Bumblebee...
To get a good idea of what was up, I'd suggest checking the Manly Thread in General Discussion, it has photos of similar nature.

Some girls were quite hot last I remember. This is a married one talking here
