I was not an original member but that all does look familiar.

Doesn't seem like it was that long ago...

I've only been here for three years, but it seems like a much bigger part of my life than that. It's too bad Mercedes is being such a jerk about the use of their name.

It's crazy, there wasn't even a Diesel Discussion and there are like 8 DIY articles lol

When did Diesel Discussion come about?

Jordaan,
I remember that there was some debate as to whether there should be a Diesel Discussion or not. (Same for lighting and a few other topics) Even the Open Discussion was discussed.
I want to say that Diesel D. was started later in '99, but it might have been '00.

Consider this... It took me only a couple of hours for a couple of evenings to read ALL of the posts made prior to my joining, and anywhere between a few minutes to 20 minutes, to catch up with all of the posts for that day (read new posts).

Wow thanks for posting that! Its been the better part of a decade since I saw that layout. My join date say's 02, but I was a lurker since almost the beginning.

I can't beleive I have spent almost a decade on this forum!

I know! I remember when I used to read all the new posts on the forum pretty fast, no more than a half hour or so. Now forget about it! I can't keep up with OD.

Wow, that's so crazy... I came on this forum and was amazed at how big it was. When I saw this it blew me away. 20 minutes to catch up to a post, that's impossible now! lol

No prob, when my friend showed me this I was like "ahhh man, can't wait to show everyone on the forum!" This forum sure has come a loooong way. Can't believe it's going to be 10 years old!

I hope I'm apart of this forum for as long as it's around.
