Long Time, OG, I been here for ever Org Members Chime in !
 

Hey, just wondering who has been here for a long time and who has been here since day one or close to it. Whats the history of this place, can anyone take us through the years of maxima.org.

In the beginning i wonder if there were only a handful of members, and did anyone think the forum would have grown to what it is today !! When did the org start anyways (19xx) ?

I have not been here long but since I have been here it would seem lately that some of the guys are selling cars in the 4th gen scheme of things and moving on, and at the same time new guys are coming along. I also see some guys going turbo which basically they move on to the turbo forum. There really is a huge world here at the org in 2005. And you can actually be a die hard part of the boards in your little niche but never come across or meet other people (example: 6th Gen Forum)

Again, any old school people around that can tell some stories of the old days and how things are different or has changed.

thanks

All information pretty much in that link :gotme:.. damn ive been here long :nervous:

looks like that needs to be updated. :nod:

I haven't been around since the beginning, but I've been here since the Jambo reign. :) i remember when the 5th gen forum was new. :laugh:

I've been here too long. :cool:

Hummmm I wounder if there is a way to see how many hours I've spent on this site in total over the years? :deezo:

I came around in the days of the NISMO board when Andi was running things.. shortly thereafter it went over to Chad's Maxima BBS on socrates.math.ohio-state.edu

Oh man, I loved the days of the Vote To Delete button! :chuckle:

we need to issue that on here!

VTD VTD VTD...

remember booker's stories (as the BBS turns)...
russ changes cars like underwear...
woodear's flameage...
JimW and his crazy street races...
the craze of stillen T2 spolier on 4th gens...(did the factory burn down?)
DavidL7 and his red/clear...(people used to complain about the prices then...now they are selling like gold)...
server errors?

that's all i can remember...

I'm an honorary OG :o

I joined right at the end of the Tran's "NISMO" era. I've been to Maxus in Dallas('99), Atlanta(2k), and DC('01).

Good to see people here who have also been here a long time, and under 1k posts..

Russ' Rule of OG'ness must be applied... <5 years = no OG :lol::lol:

I lurked here before the 5th gen forum was up I was an actual member after it started, before there was a 1st and 2nd gen forum so I had to post everything of mine in the General forum. Finally, they made 1st and 2nd gen forums and then combined them into one as you see now. That was around the time the Atlanta Maximas were known for not having very many meets or people there. Now, the Atlanta crew has grown. I remember Jgadlage and all the OG's here. Man, those were the days. And there werent any stupid *** posts either. This place has grown tremendously. I also missed all Maxus' which sucked. Maxus 99 I missed because my parents at the time didnt trust me driving to Dallas by myself. I missed Maxus 2k because by the time I moved there, it had already happened. The DC one well I wasnt going to drive that far. Im back in Texas and I wont miss this Maxus!

Waxing nostolgic. Very intersting post though... history of maxima.org. Should tell the guy from U of A to do his next paper on this.

nah.. i am not a spot light person

meh, i'm just a lurker most of the time...though haven't been here as long as some of you veterans.

i remember the days of "server is currently busy", ah good ol days :grinno:

I don't remember much. I usually do more reading than posting. but I do remember some stuff.

I've been around Along time!, I can remember when the dc forum was an email list. and everyone emailed conversations and meet events

I remember back in 02 when Kevin used to post.....

I remember in 02 when you would be banned if you posted

Man.....memorys :bowdown1:

I miss Andi's Supra vs Russ's W6S debates.
Remember when everyone had Borbet Type Es and Konig Monsoons?
Remember when Ange ran over Danny (?)?

Anyone still got some pics from the first Captree meet!?

I'm probably the biggest non-posting OG there is :thumbsup:

more info :lol:

Even before that was Bryan's 3rd Gen BBS which, I believe is still around. I was an original member on that one, too. Man, the good old days. Since this places existed, I've went from a 3rd Gen, to a 4th Gen (I30t), to my current 5th Gen.

I've also met a lot of good friends out of this place.

and stalker cops :wall:

Nickstam to the rescue :nervous:

I was lurking around all those sites since 1996, posting "here" since 1999.

You mean guys who do burnouts at meets and attract those stalker cops. :tardsmash

If I do recall, you can't blame him since he was learning "how to drive" stick :thumbsup:

Not sure if Im OG yet, but without question the Russ threads were ALWAYS the best..

Well I remember all the server busy messages, Jambo's days, Russ, and Kevin beating 2 Porsches on the highway. If only I had joined the site a year earlier when I was still looking for cars to buy...would have saved me a lot of money and made my life a lot earlier.
I don't post that much either.....
:wall:

Russ is a name from the past. The guy is well know all over the internet for being a huge tool.

i don't think it was me :slap:

My memory is a bit fuzzy from those days. Too much time out in the sun smelling exhaust fumes from all the drag races :D

been here since dec 2000 lurking since sept/oct .. i remember when atl was just a handful of maxes but we were always close.. q, ming, erik, oss, and prpmax were some of the first max peeps i ever met with.

The memories.....:D

i have been a long time lurker since 2001 on the org but i was mainly on chestons forum til it closed down then i finally created an account on here

:tardsmash :calder:

Started in 97 on Evans BBS and been around since. Damn... what have I been thinking...
