Solved Wow! This is an old forum.

I see it was started in 2000 or earlier. What is the history of the place? What software was it on before? Has it always been owned by the same people?

I can't answer this question, being a relatively new member of the team; so I'll tag @fords8 in this, our illustrious Benevolent Dictator, who should be able to answer this for you.

The community's roots trace back quite a few years where it was started by @Ash. The forum had a few ownership changes and a few name changes but it was cyclical and we returned back to the present name and Ash as the Owner before it was sold to @fords8 a year or two ago I think

I'm guessing @Ash was in diapers around 2000. :extremelyhappy:

I remember 2000. I was in Kindergarten, we even did a field trip to the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. Was a great trip. Black door Tangaras :D

I'm a little out of place online at 41 - but it's interesting to meet so many younger people.

but it's interesting to meet so many younger people.

It's an interesting thing, because people come from all different walks of life.

Seems like most forums are younger. On average, I deal with people in the young 20s.

I didn't realise his age actually We would've been 1. I always invisioned he was the original owner- I think he might've been of PeakForums but the original forum must've been called something else with another owner

I have had a few general forums. At one time I had 2 running at the same time. And yes I am older. 46!

I was born in 2000, LOL. Would have been 1999 if I was born a little sooner. And I wouldn't say it is just younger peopleon forums, on other communitities I'm a part of it's half and half I would say.
