Seeing as my last thread went belly up really quick, thought I'd try a new one.
I actually quite interested to know how this forum got started. Do all mods know each other personally, and gone ' hey this sounds like a cool idea' how long has it been operating and any other useless info ( u could help with that, bigrig.

Wasnt it ab and timbo ?heard a story about how they got up and running
lot of hard work paid off for them
I got involved with the forum as a member in its first few weeks. To this day I've never met any of the other mods or admin (AB), I was asked to take on the moderators role late last year.

Good question Kat...
I think the forum officially started back at May last year, when my daughter was born and I had 2 weeks off work...lol
I bought the website name at the start of last year as it was still availible and couldn't believe noone had it already.
Not even sure what the plan was for it but I love 4wding and Patrols of course. I work with Timbo and he suggested to start a forum on it. But with a forum you need members of course which was the hard part. Timbo helped a lot with the layout and starting off with the general common questions and problems with patrols and I spent the entire 2 weeks off holding a new born and emailing every single 4wd club in Australia. I mean pretty much every single club....I think there was around 600-800 clubs that I personally emailed. Researched who was the president, etc to make sure it was a personal email directed towards them which near killed me.
Dribs and drabs came on the forum until one day I emailed the Western Patrol Club. Next minute I had about 30 or so members sign up one night and start throwing pics up and chatting...You ripper!
Then one night I was sitting back chatting to the 50 or so members on there and next minute we had about 200 people sign up and the forum went nuts from then on...I couldn't believe how many people jumped on all of a sudden but figured out that someone had posted a link on another forum and everyone started to pour over here.
We kept a tight ship with friendly attitudes etc which drove away the smartasses and kept the good genuine people.
Paul (Patch697) fell in love with the site and started to post up like a madman and helping everyone from the start.
Kris, Rohan, Doggy, Tony, Finly, Rossco, GEC, Bloggsy, Rusty Nails, and Todd were some of the new members back then too and helped out greatly to get it off and running....Apologies If I missed some of the old members
Doggy really joined in and helped out the forum like it was his own and then Tony joined up who put so much valueable info into this it was just incredible.
I have only met a hand full of people on here and can't wait to meet them all at the Easter 2012 bash!!!
