When I joined in 2001, I had no idea it was that young of a forum. the members must have been piling up daily
Sounds Like Bob Dillon is in the running! With a close second to Bob Vidan & Brain 3rd So far anyway.....

I wonder if Ccass has a list of the first day.

Still at 137 (only posts in tech forums increase your post count now)

They literally changed it while you weren't looking.

PontiacDude aka Ken Keefer is still alive and well in Brookesville FL. I chat with him weekly, sometimes daily on FaceBook. He closed up his business several years ago and is "semi-retired" these days. Within the last year he has gotten back into drag racing with his black '76 T/A, competing in the heads up 6.50 index class at tracks near his home.

Should have him chime in seeing its turned into a bit of a roll call event

December 1999 for me and was on the old boards too.

[Half-Inch Stud]

Was lurking in "the wild west" (old boards) before joining. Known Spotts and Chris Carperson since the early 80's ( as other also knew ). Back then there was a preference to visit rather then call, text or write.

There was a wild bunch for sure that would fit in with Yellowbullet. Really think it started to settle-down in a couple years after the volunteer Moderators proved immovable.

There was a tech bunch, a resto bunch, and a junkyard "original know-it for sure" bunch.
MAYBE there is a Show-bunch but i've avoided Car Shows.

Ability to Buy & Sell with known personas is nice.

I bought my '66 Grand Prix from Peter Klabo (Ventures Unlimited) back in June 1999. When it finally arrived here in Oz I asked him for some contacts and he recommended (the then VERY new) eBay, Ames and also for some hints and tips, keep an eye on the PY site.

Finally joined up in September 2000. Certainly been good to me.

Damn thats a long time ago....

Those of you who remember the old boards should remember the general lack of civility among many of the players. I had to quit reading the old boards because I didn't want my granddaughter reading over my shoulder.

The current forums are more Pontiac (and civility) oriented. Vast improvement.

There’s still a couple bullies here, they mostly post in the clubhouse these days, because those nasty undertones will not be tolerated elsewhere on the board.

I probably found the old forum right after it started - '97 maybe?

I wasn’t visible on this board when it started but did read it as I was restoring my 67 400 coupe Firebird back then and was even buying parts from Paul Spotts and Chris from their homes until they finally opened a business in a building. I’ve known them both a very very long time and live just 15 minutes from the current Pypes & Coldcase location in Hatfield PA.
