Original Group on OSE Forum?

[ReddyWatts]

When I first started using this forum, someone messaged me and said Steven only used this forum to talk with his customers. Guess we were a group of rebels that started to use it for talking about FE? I used to only see about 5 people on at a time. Who remembers the members of that group? SJFE?

I do not recall that being the case....Rebels YES....It has taken Steven this long to ban me for life !!! :-)... but I miss some of those lads that helped me in my pursuit of this hobby...Those were the salad days. Steven even allows members from Ontario and Australia to join now... that is very sad :-)

True story. I was going to find them on the member list but it must be close to 10 thousand members now.

hopfully those who were here from the start will chime in. i did not join until 2008.

I am thinking it was around 2004-05. Then after it started to grow Steven went to the current forum format in 2007. I guess that is when we lost all of the original member join dates.

It seems like Doozie, sjfe and maybe propperchopper were part of the group back then. Anyone can chime in.

The big forum was the red forum back then, but if you were a newbie, you would get hammered over there by the racers. So we welcomed newbies here and told them there were no dumb questions on this forum and it started to grow, one newbie at a time, with Steven at the helm.
