Some of the elder statesmen might want to chime in on this one... What year did the original website get created, how many revisions and what years? Any archivists out there?

Six_String would be the one to ask for a history lesson as he has been here longer than any active users i know of.

and =CB= too.
I think I was the third member in about `2000 I do remember Sixer being either one or two of which we've spoke of in the past .. ceebers ( ie CB ) was pretty early too! In fact he called me recently and wants to stop by on his way to the Datona Bikefest week, I forgot to tell ya Veek ( ie Vic108 ) ... seems everybody had a " pet
name " that you were called and we were a very small thou very tight bunch!

Yeah, I think I got on the last part of the first "iteration" around early '04. It really was a cool place then, (and is to this day!)

Say hi to ceebs for my Voxy!
Oh yeah, it goes back.... I was not one of the Very first ones, but was near the spot. I remember Vox had been a lurker for some time and we somehow got him to join up... good move too. Others I remember were like Tonym, Skidshark, dcooper, Strange Brew, TNT... to mention only a few. Many have dropped by the way but others have hung in there.
Obviously I would need to mention Tom being the Number One member since his vision is what made ETSG possible. There have been many great ideas over the years to make this site what it is today. I also would thank Alex for continuing on with ETSG. Having my issues over the past couple of years, I have not been as faithful as I should have been... but would like to get back into the swing of things again.
Although he may not be "one of the originals" is will still always be an original... and I'm talking about Guitar Weasel. His help with the forum has been unmatched IMHO.
BTW, I am looking at the "Logging Up The Time" thread and although I don't have as much yet to "make it fancy, I think I will be able to get us caught up on our Time Totals.......... Wish me luck!

Just to help things out, the website got it's start back in 2001. There was no forum then. That started in May of 2002 and was very basic. The website has gone through 4 major revisions over the years and the forum went through 3 major pieces of software (not including it's current state).
The site has been host to many colorful characters over the years as several of you have pointed out already. It was a great place to call home. I know it's in great hands going forward.
