I found this site several years ago and only looked in the picture gallery. I wasn't to up on internet stuff so I didn't even know there was a forum attached to the site. It's funny how people come and go. There were some members who had thousands of posts that posted daily a year ago and now they are gone.

I started lurking in 2001, but I think my first post may have been around 2003. How long has Garrett been around?

Early 2000 I think. Maybe earlier. God this is depressing. I posted as "guest" for a long time though. I know that fucker Bill Gill was posting under all kinds of names back then. Mr. Peanut!!!!!

Perrone is still around. I saw him posting on another forum not long ago.

God bless you Rob Davison.

Garrett, you were all over the RN bbs back in the day, it took you a solid year to come over here. Oh how I regret this. And then there was that time on Tussy Mountain.

I was young and impressionable at the time Rob and you took me under your wing. You felt guilty about my resonator getting bent up. Such a pussy.

Selling your first DI was a bonehead move. I hope you never forget that.

RN rocks!

I can't remember how long I've been here. Wasn't there a server reset at one point? I thought I had to register a second time at one point.

I believe I've been here since 2000, maybe a little bit earlier??

I've been on since late 1999, came over from the Yahoo list and always hoped I could be invited to the Offroad Disco Yahoo list. Never did get the invite. But Kyle took me under his wing and helped me with a bunch of stuff. Shane - Best4x4xfar or something like that was one of the first people I actually met from the "web."

ten years... damn.
In a month it's going to be 10 years since I bought the Disco - hope I don't wreck it before. I've spent some quality time at yahoo lists, and drifted over to DW around 2002.

Wow, Robbie, I remember Shane also! One of the first trips I took my Disco (which I still have) was to GWNF Dictum Ridge, 2nd Mountain with Kyle and Heather.
Can't remember when I first posted, but I'll bet it's been almost 10 years now also...

i think i remember reading off the old site format back in 01 sometime. swore i registered back then too. in my youthful age of 20 i recall being banned from dweb for some freelander harassment & spent awhile on the lam. i rebelled & fixed things incorrectly & most likely paid more for things i shouldn't have. time has a way of bringing everything full circle.

i do remember the old way it was tho, i used to search through endless info for the right problem i was having. i like it much more now, other than our pics being down! seriously tho happy b day d web! cue spot party...!

:party:

LOL....I remember D.O.R. That's ancient fucking history.

And, for the record, I was not the salty Mr. Peanut from years back!

Hmmm I believe I've been here since I first bought my Disco. But when was that? LOL

I do remember needed to register again after a server crash/upgrade/whatever.

I have heard about this gwagen babe at MAR 07. Just load it into photobucket for all of us to see.

Oh I lurked around late 03-04 when I was looking for my first disco. And registered mid 04 after I started spending more time on the internet. I miss the good ole days where people flamed each other over which winch is better...

Easy on the GWagenBabe talk--I still talked to Camille up until about last year, she's one of only a few left on the MySpace page I never use.

She is a nice girl who, like only some of us, has grown up quite a bit!
