Is PY pre Facebook?
My buddy and I were talking about the random kindnesses of places like this and I got to thinking. Does PY pre date Facebook? This place has to be close to 20 years old. Crazy how time flies.

Believe it was originally Performance Years & was around in the last century. Facebook is 2004.

I was on PY around 2003, and singed up a bit later. Oddly, Steve Ames told me about it.

Been around since the late 1990s I believe. I remember the discussions about the differences between here and Classical Pontiac in around 1998-1999...

I checked on www.archive.org , they have a capture of the PY site from 1997 that has links to the old PY message board. The earliest posts i found in the cars for sale / cars wanted section were from December 20, 1996. https://web.archive.org/web/19970403...com/ponbbs.htm

At least a couple or few members joined in January 1970 (epoch time)
I have my suspicions about them (alien time travelers) |

I began perusing the old PY board around 1996 and began posting around 1998, so yea...PY predates a lot of things on the internet.

Didn't an earlier version of this forum crash?
I am pretty sure I signed up before my currently displayed join date - but this date is actually the second time I signed up. I was on the Classical Pontiac message board and heard of this site from that one.

Baron: first used microwave ovens (were "Radar Ranges" ), in 1967. To predate would need to be a magazine.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
