What year did you join DRN?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: nikki

Just curious... I was looking through the Fantasy SX thread for San Fran and noticed a bunch of 1999 and 2000 joined members - that type of retention just shows how awesome DRN really is! :thumb:

So... when did you join?

Posted by: rv6junkie

Take a look ^^^^>>> 2000. Oh, I just noticed...I have a member number too...17060...I guess I wasn't the first to find DRN

I'd be interested to see how many of us "old timers" are still active. I hope the poll will show that.

Posted by: Okiewan

That member number isn't as high as you may think... mine, (though not the first member; my original admin account was the first) is 16119 ... somewhere along the upgrade path over the years, the number seq. was changed. My math says you are member 941.

I don't know the logic behind the member numbers, but I don't think it means you were the 17,060th member. Like for example, Okie is member number 16,119.

So far... the old timers (1999-2000) are owning the poll!

Yeah... what he said ^^^

doh!

I recall when I joined in 2002 (St. Patrick's Day!!) I was member 12,000 and sumthin. I was amazed at how many peeps had joined up by DW'02, it hit 20,000 in October 2002.

Posted by: Timr

1999 for me, I think my member number for real is in the 300-400 range.

(or maybe based on Okie's number it's: 117?)

Posted by: biglou

I remember lurking since March/April 2000 and then regretting not getting in sooner. The "Old" guys had the 1999-early2000 join dates, lol!

Posted by: XRpredator

had to post to see for sure

January 27, 2004 - 47

I joined up I think in August 2000. I just missed the first "spodefest". I haven't made the same mistake again.

Posted by: kmccune

I think I remember the member number mix up, didn't the number of posts get mixed up too? Too bad those aren't all supporting members!

Posted by: BEEF706

2002, always was a late bloomer, hey somebody's gotta be last

Posted by: Senior KX Rider

1999 for me. Doesn't seem like that long ago

Posted by: KiwiBird

Jan 2000, I think I'm number 997 although I thought it was in the 800s. Whatever.

Posted by: MrLuckey

Feb 2000 for me.

Posted by: kmccune

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out after a good cross section votes

Posted by: BunduBasher

I joined XDB in late 1999 when I was looking to get back into dirt biking, ended up here in Feb of 2000 !! - had just bought the JR50 and had a new DRZ400S on order - which only arrived in May !!!

First post ....... advised DRN member to send bent CR250 pipe to Jeffro for use as a bong ..... OK it was topical at the time

Posted by: _SOLO_

I joined 2 weeks into January 2000. Doesn't seem that long ago, but I was only 12.

Posted by: XR3J

Oct. 2001
Lurked for quite awhile before joining.Wished I would have found it sooner.

Posted by: Sawblade

I joined in Sept 2000. I had lurked off and on for 6 months before joining. Membership at that time I think was in the low 5000 range.

Posted by: JPIVEY

March of 2001, It's funny when I look back at what I was doing then and what I'm doing now, Crap, lately I feel like a 50's rider in a open class race and it's cool to come in here to relax and just wonder around.

Sorry about the muddy foot prints

Posted by: acutemp

Sept 99, by Okie's math #248. I guess that makes me an "old timer" in more way's than one.

Posted by: OKKX'er

September '01, it has been a very good time.

Posted by: Rooster

Wow, over three years ago!!

Time flies when you're havin' fun.

I remember stumbling across this site when it first started but didn't make it back until November of 2000 and I joined that same day

I think Iwas between 2000 and 3000 someplace. It really is amazing how it's grown but not surprizing in the least!!

Posted by: Tom Dixon

In 2001 I was told to check this site out after a Trailfest ride here in Michigan. Joined up and have loved it ever since! I guess you could call it a home away from home. :thumb:

July 25, 1999

Posted by: JuliusPleaser

May '00 - then again in Nov '00.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

I joined in August 2000 too (lurked a little before that). Just so that we could go to the first Spode Fest. Haven't missed one yet (or since).

Posted by: Ol'89r

Came here in January 2000 asking, "anyone in So Cal wanna go ridin'?

The rest is history.

:flame:

Posted by: biglou

August 2000 was a good month! lol

Posted by: Tony Eeds

06-09-2002 - Shortly thereafter, I became a LSTM, signed up for DW02 and the rest is history.

I had found the site about a year earlier, but didn't join because I didn't understand the "idea" of a web based group. As I remember, this was the first one I had ever stumbled across.

It would be interesting to see a chart like a stock chart for our growth. Although it always goes up (perhaps not as Okie purges inactive or duplicate accounts), I assume there were growth spurts along the way.

Posted by: bud

jun 99 I think, around the time I got my first bike, a kdx.

Posted by: Philip

Feb. 02!!!! After Josh got me back into riding.

Posted by: mdkuder

I actually read the forums often and finally in early 2001 I threw down and joined!

Posted by: Mully

Couldn't remember the month, but I do know it was 1999. After I post this I will remember.

Ah hem !
This vote seems way off to me. Nikki you only have 132 people polled to date. As absent as I've been recently you should expect a bias to the latter years of DRN. Even though the core group is strong and supportive from the approx. position of 19,500 when I joined in October 2002 ( I think )to today the attention span of those 15,000 plus members should be slightly longer and attendance greater.

Posted by: psycho

Jan of 2000 (I think). I guess we will all know here shortly. The reason I joined was for the JustKDX forum. Ahh.. the good ol days..

Yea, I joined for the JustKDX forum as well. I guess it Has been a long time...

99 it was.

Posted by: RMFanatic

I too was a lurker, as a matter of fact I found my 5-honey on this site, and went to Alabama in Jan. 2001 to buy the beast

. I guess we all have our faults

, you know you gotta be slightly mental to ride a beast on an MX track. Oh, by the way does anybody know how to change your name on this site. My last RM became my last RM!

Dec 1999 - i guess I am an old timer

Posted by: 380EXCman

1999! What a great year......

Posted by: darringer

I stumbled into this site Dec. 2001, right after getting back into dirt bikes after 20 year layoff. 2nd best thing I did...Great DRN people and info makes me need my daily fix. Keep up the good work!

Posted by: schwen_66

I joined this year 2004!

Posted by: thumbs

10-16-2000 for me.

Posted by: Patman

I remember when the server was powered by hamsters! I remember the dreaded "X-Bobbers!" (maybe because I was one?). I remember when Okie had a KDX!

Posted by: SpeedyManiac

I think I joined in August 2000. I originally had a different name, then changed to my current one. That was back when hotmail accounts were still allowed for sign-up!

We still can't get that "X-Bobbers!" stink out of the carpet in the lobby.
