Have you been here for 15 or 20 years or more?

I looked again for my original log in from way back. I do remember a time when forums were ranked... I use to log on daily to do my part for traffic count. I want to say TRS was ranked number one for a time.

But I can't remember it... so I'm just a newbie that won't shut up apparently.

At least 20 I'm sure, maybe more. I know it's home joined with my first Ranger and I got it in 2000, possibly a little earlier in anticipation of getting it. It was my dad's, got passed around the family, and I knew I wanted it for my first vehicle.

I had a different user name back then. I think I changed when we had to restart after the former host stole the database. When was that, 2007? May have been later. @Jim Oaks if you still have member records from the old forum versions I'll PM you the old username and we can find out.

I can’t pin down a year, It was early… there were around 1000 members.

Profile says you joined November, 2007

Yeah… before the old forum was lost I had a different account. Technically I’ve been here forever.
Witness protection… I’m not allowed to discuss it.

Don't make us put the ankle monitor back on; remember: "loose lips sinks ships".


I had a slightly different screen name, too, before the "2007" join date that shows now for mine. I think it was like 2002 originally, but I'm not real sure (CRS never sleeps).

When was it that the site got hacked by the Turkish group? Anybody remember that?

I do remember that unpleasant business with the former site host; what a screwed-up mess that was.


I'm just glad that the site is still going stronger than ever.

Yes, that was 2007. You can see the old forum in the internet archive, you just can't open the posts. Although I was able to open some in the early versions.

I really need to do a video about the history of TRS. I recorded a few but wasn't happy with it. I've tried to get my daughter to interview me to make it a little more interesting or get my son to interview me in a podcast so I'm answering questions instead of just talking, but they're both too busy.

Ask for questions from the rank and file... That would probably get some interesting questions. Then, "on air", you can open the " letter" and answer them.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Well if anyone has any questions, feel free to send them to me.

Thank you, Mr. Floored.

Have you considered hiring Tom Hanks to narrate "The TRS Story"?

With all due respect, Jim, it would make it a lot more appealing, and more interesting.

Maybe we could crowd-fund the fee?

One of us moderators or other staff could probably do a zoom meeting type interview and record it. That might be fun.

Thank you, Mr. Floored.

I get the reference and Tom Hanks is good, but... I'd rather hjave Morgan Freeman. He's always doing those documentaries so can't be too expensive to hire right?

What's wrong with you people? If you want a celebrity interviewer, why not Elle MacPherson or Christy Brinkley or nearly any beautiful woman with a brain...
