I remember the old bulletin board. And how it regularly went down the tubes.

I used to read the old board, but didn't join this one until mid 2001. Drifted away for a few years, and only had Bob, Holmberg and Baker on my FaceBerg. Last year I burned down my FaceBerg.

I've been on the board since June 2000, although not that much of a poster, as this is, according to the counter, my 138th post in 20 years.

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

They literally changed it while you weren't looking.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

About Us

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.
