[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 439437, member: 16119"] Good stuff Jeff, you have no idea how close to the truth the first paragraph is, lol. No, the server isn't in my house (Colorado actually), but the rest is right on the money. I left a pretty good career (BMW company car :) ) in 96 to do this "web thing" ... I'd been messing around making sites since 94, as a hobby. After the wife got over the initial shock, it went pretty well. Lots of clients paying me way too much to build and host their sites. Set-up a couple of BB systems for folks, got to know the code pretty well, decided to make this one soon after Pokie and I started riding again (we took 20 years off). Found Canadian Dave on one of the "other" boards, offered him his own place. Found MXTuner, did the same. Tuner lead me to Rich, who happens to ride 30 minutes from my house. Rich lead me to Eric and Jeremy. Since I'm in D17, contacted AJ to give him web space for the District, who led me to wardy... it just all came together. A cool site and a lot of great friends. Over time, each of the mods came, all but a couple that either left or were booted :p, are the originals. I don't know how many sites have the consistency we enjoy. To this day, it blows me away when I think about how much these mods and Admin care about this site. For the record; we never spammed sites or pulled any stunts to grow the membership here. I guess quality rises to the top? No, I’m not blowing our horn… the membership of this site is without doubt, the best on the web. You go to DirtWeek and see if you don’t walk away knowing you just met the most awesome group of people on the planet. There is the proof. This isn’t a site of personas … these are people being who they really are, somehow we end up with a group like this. If someone asked me how to build such a community, I wouldn’t know what to say. I really have no clue. I guess it’s just a case of; the right time, the right place and the right people. Whatever it is, I’m beyond proud to be associated with it. I’m not the one to get credit for this, the members make this site what it is. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. [/QUOTE]
