Careful With That Axe Eugene
Congrats for ten years of the best bike forum on the planet, maybe in the universe, my favourite place in the interweb!
Tim said:DTT was officially launched February 2, 2007. 10 years ago (later tonight to be accurate).
I registered the domain January 30, and then launched the site on GoDaddy hosting a few days later. Since then I had to relocate twice to manage the growth in members, posts, photos etc. Now it's hosted on a very nice virtual private server in a large data center with options to grow, relocate to other centers around the world etc. Shouldn't have to move again at least.
Anyhow - yeah. 10 years, and many of you have been around for most of it! Thanks for making this place what it is (and keeping it from being what it isn't).
Maritime said:The bike of the decade is pretty neat idea. I can think of at least 5-6 that could be that bike. Built by folks I get to call friends. Some are still here, some don't come around as much but they are more like family to me than some of my real family. I like a lot of folks here and love some like brothers, sisters and if older I guess dad's, mom's or uncles. I'd know jack shit about bikes, would probably been in a mess after my crash if it wasn't for this place and it's members. Here's to 100 more years of DTT.

That way, those of us who came late to the party [ 2010 for me ] won't be agonising over bikes we weren't familiar with before "our" time.
