They said "it" wouldn't last.

Thanks Ames/Performance Years for a great site.

I bought my goat in July, 2004 and started looking for answers shortly thereafter. When I found this forum in January, 2005, it was a site for sore eyes, and sore knuckles. It's been great tapping into the know-how of lots of helpful members. Thanks to you all, and thanks to PY/Ames for sponsoring!

I've been on this board since December of 1999, but I was on the old boards before that.

Over 11 yrs for me. Started in 2004 with a different screen name, but we moved and changed ISPs so I couldn't sign in until I changed screen names.That was in 2006.

I think I'm just over 10 years on here. It was 2006 when I finally got back in to "the game" with my 68 LeMans ragtop. The info and camaraderie on here has been both invaluable and fun.

EDIT: I see it was Oct 2006.

I had to look up my own join date. Time really flies when you are having fun! 13 1/2 years worth of great cars, good and not so good posts and a wealth of knowledge that I gratefully took advantage of. Hopefully the forums and I will be around for a few more years.

Looks like my 15 year forum anniversary is coming up this summer. I think I was a lurker for about six months before I signed up.

10 years for me as well, extremely hard to believe it's been that long and I probably have more posts here than any other forum, maybe even combined. I joined this site when I was 19.
