Today is my 5th anniversary of joining Cheers and Gears.

A warm thank you to Walt for inviting me here at the start, and to all the moderators, members, contributors, artists, writers, staff members, advanced member members, as well as the trolls (for making me laugh).

I have spent half of my time on the internet with Cheers and Gears, having gone online in 1996 (then it was mainly Buletin Boards known as BBS' on a 14.4 modem). It has been a privelage and an honour to see the site grow, change, and advance over the years.

I would like to say that one of my very first posts then still holds true today!

5 years of spare time, hows that?

I've only been on C&G for two years but I do still consider

this site to be my home on the internet. Lately my new

job & crazy personal/Tight Whips cars club schedule have

kept me away for the most part but I still love C&G more

than any other forum.

I was only able to narrow my origin down to summer of 2003 time frame.

I had forgotten all about my original name on here.

For fun here are a couple of my old sigs I peeled off the web archive.

Its been over 3 years for me... Although, I just lurked and didnt join until December 28th.

Been here for about three years and to see the site go down two times. During that time, I've made close to five-thousand posts and undergone a name change.

Am I the only one who thinks we should have a skin that looks like the old Snitz forums?
