Just found that Wayback Machine has stored a snapshot of PF back on March 02, 2001:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010302050918/https://www.physicsforums.com:80/
In fact, it has about 1864 captures from March 2001!
And then a snapshot when PF was shifted to VBulletin (December 27, 2003):
http://web.archive.org/web/20031227195017/http://physicsforums.com:80/
And finally the shift to XenForo (snapshot taken around September or October 2014):

The old look certainly seems a bit awkward to members who have joined recently. Also, it should bring back some old memories of @Greg Bernhardt and the members who have been here since then. It shows how much the site has evolved to this date. Thanks to the hard work of the admin @Greg Bernhardt and his team of mentors.
In fact, could these pages be linked in the "About Us" insight page in PF?
Edit: such a thread exists already: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/visual-history-of-physics-forums.774923/ But I believe Wayback Machine has greater number of snapshots.
