Smile re: Almost 5000 active members....

Well, I joines this forum under five months ago and there were a little over 4000 members (active). Now there are almost 5000, an increase in 25% in that time.

When was this forum started. That seems like there are a lot of members that are getting involved in this forum. Thats good and there are many people who help out Mazda owners and other people.

My girlfriend hates it when I am on this site checking out things. Oh-well. She is pissed with me now over lots of stuff and we will see what will happen?

I think that the forum was started around October of 2001. I joined the club sometime in November of that same year. Don't know how many members were there back then, but were far less than 5000. The bigger, the better. More people means more ideas and more help for the ones that need it........

lol I think it was Sept. 2001, thats when I bought my car and started looking for an aftermarket when I stumbled across this board. The orginal owner lives here in Columbus, he doesn't post here much anymore, jking I believe his name is on here. Now the owner is Jason who owns Advanced Imports, the button up at the top, another Columbus resident. Both REALLY cool guys.

I remember back in the day... ahhh those where the days... TheMan was less of a dick , probably cause the only thing available then was a CIA . Psuedo still had his 1st gen and was posting like a mad man. EricF, who unfortunatly haven't seen around in a LONG time, use to talk about ALL the internals of our cars. Ambient started the imfamous "3 word story" thread. RTFM was shouted on a regular baises . The thought of a turbo kit was just a dream. Aaaahhh the good ol'days. *Grabs Cane* SirNuke was just a young pup then, at least I thought he was .

The board has turned into something, that I can say, Im proud to be apart of. Lets here it for the Mods that keep this place running!!! I give you a Bubb Rubb "Woo Wooo!"

Edit: my car just turned 30,000 miles a few days ago. It was bought Sept 9th 2001, brand new. I was signing the loan papers as the first plane hit .

Heck when I started (Dec 01) The no one was giving the "official greeting" EricF was around a lot. I kinda wish I would have taken a moderator position as they were still looking for them but oh well.
