So much content? everything you could possibly ever want to know about a 3rd gen Supra is here. What else could there have been?
IJ.;1532361 said:It was a bad time and we lost so much content......
Yes, which is why I felt like someone shot my dog, and then broke into my house and stole all my CD's.
'Twas a sad time indeed. All these new guys have no idea
Case in point. There was a TON of info that is gone forever. We've made up for it, but there's just some things that can't be duplicated.89nasupra;1532373 said:
<nodding> yep a LOT of information is gone.... also a lot of the "Vibe" of SM changed from that time on.
Back then it was more a bunch of car heads getting together to shoot the shit, today it's much more orderly/professional and we have "rules".

I guess being a "noob" here i don't understand to much of this "vibe". everyone seems layed back and willing to help and or shoot the shit. the "rules" i find are in for a good for keeping the riff raff out. I do notice that there are alot of "young" people in here. but all in all i have talked to a lot of you on occasions and things were great. guess i would have had to been there to understand what is was as to what it is.
The change came with our tremendous growth as a forum. It became less of a community, and that's really the way it has to be with so many members, lest we be overrun with B.S.. This thread makes me feel ancient at the ripe old age of 26. LOL!

You have no idea how much we lost. It was tremendous... Fucking phpBB and script kiddies. It's what motivated me to buy our first copy of vBulletin, it was the second time we were hacked on that old crap.

I still think we've managed to keep a lot of that sense of community going compared to some other large forums.

Agreed!
There were some hilarious topics/discussions back then and mostly everyone got along really well.
Ill try and contribute something this week when I get around to putting in my bushings, have to remember to take alot of pictures, im bad at that....
Thanks Ian, that makes me feel much more wanted.IJ.;1532024 said:But you are a N00b Jeff
LMAO Mike. Theresa doesn't take you clothes shopping often?Supracentral;1532494 said:Lewis, I have Supra T-Shirts that are older than you...
Don't feel bad Jeff but I don't "want" a 250Lb guylewis15498;1532743 said:
Maybe Jeff will let you Chrisshaeff;1532832 said:I certainly agree with you there, I was just agreeing that the vibe changed a bit. SM is my home.
Can I touch 'em? :naughty:
You and me both! Relationships definitely were more closely knit but I remember when there were no more than 10 users on at one time, so we have grown leaps and bounds since then.shaeff;1532486 said:
Pics? lolSupracentral;1532494 said:Lewis, I have Supra T-Shirts that are older than you...
I've got some old supramania.com tshirts from the original GB back 5+ years ago
Definitely the smartest move we could have made. To this day I'm a member on some other boards that are PHP and I shudder at the old familiar feeling that once was SM pre-hackSupracentral;1532494 said:
Absolutely, even compared to similar or smaller forums. This one is truly a community and one I'm definitely proud to be a part of.Supracentral;1532494 said:
Too much information, Ian.... :momaru:IJ.;1532496 said:I have boobs older than you Chris
Yep. I <3 this place!shaeff;1532832 said:I certainly agree with you there, I was just agreeing that the vibe changed a bit. SM is my home.
(do I win for most quotes per post?) lol
I think it's very communal, Most of us know each other by first name and tend to talk to each other as if we were child hood friends. i feel that makes it more relaxed in the aspec of being more personal than a user name and almost automated responces. Hell alot of us are friends on other commuity i.e. facebook, myspace, XBL......
