Who was the user that posted the nude pics in a meltdown?
Your new piston and rings going on 26 years AMAZING!!! I want you to know you have put many a smile on my face over the years with your photography and your insight on variety of topics.Heres to many more years on that fresh top end!
Same here...correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Freshdirt was TFS's or maybe that's where I first saw him...
The only appropriate and historically accurate response-
STFU NOOB

Same and same user name for me throughout them all.
So what user has the oldest vital account that is not associated with “corporate”…? IE Guy B?
Fresh Dirt was for Mikee P and TFS “Steve Bruhn” was Motonews/Mototalk. Different dudes
Yes you are correct....It was a long time ago so my old man memory kicked in....I also have had the same username from the very beginning.
I have been here from the beginning, moved over from MotoDrive forums when Vital took it over. At one point I had the 3rd highest post count, but then there was an outage and data was lost and I lost like 1600 posts and had to make a new user name, when Gibby couldn't fix it.
Lol wow, I remember the "Pink Palace" that was sometime ago.
motocross.com was another popular moto site till I think it was sold
They had some kind of "Reset" at Vital in 06, I think, so all the O.G.s are from 06 but I thought the transition was before that.
That's kind of you to say, and much appreciated. Definitely changed my perspective; not getting older, getting to live longer. 🙂✌️
MotoChris? That was an epic meltdown. He did select a good pic for it. Still remember it. ha!
I was on all if them, but nacnac.com was definitely my favorite. That forum had quite a few women and they were treated respectfully. Made a few friends there.
Lurked on Motonews for awhile. Then noticed when someone went on a spicy rant, somebody would say "Is Motodrive down?" So I searched and found Motodrive and signed up. Been around since, same username even though "SCYRacing " has not been a thing since '09 or so lol
I use to go back to some of the first few pages of the forum and read what discussions were happening then. It was super intetesting. Unfortunately, it's pretty much impossible to randomly browse with the infinite scroll.
I always thought it'd be cool if vital had a "bump of the week" where some interesting conversation from years ago is bumped to the top so people can read it or continue the discussion.
Pit Row
Remember the boobie vault? That was awesome.
And wasn't it a dealership that started motonews? Hutch worked there and maintained the site but eventually the dealership either gave it to Hutch or he bought it off them. Hope he's doing well.
now, now you youngsters...... the OG newsgroups is where we really chatted up '80s and '90s dirtbikes... USENET's ol rec.motorcycles.dirt is really where it all started... if you really wanna see some crazy old posts.

Git off my lawn!! ya skibidi toilet rizzlers!!!
I came on MT a year after pay to play, and I'm not sure that losing the posters it lost dinged the board that much. There was a pretty big cohort of FreshDirt and MotoDrive posters who wore that badge proudly and had their say about it, Rich Cain leading the pack.
Steve also was a pretty rigorous moderator at dinging people, even if they paid, for things Steve didn't like, including if they made life difficult for him in the industry while he was the moderator. He eventually got pretty sick of that industry side pressure to control what went up on MT ("cameltoe?" 😂), which I think in part accounts for why eventually he left MT when he did (a lot involved in that, not just the public battle with Davey). MT for sure went downhill when Steve left (at one time or another both Steve Cox and Michael Rigdon were mods after that) but also I think because industry people seemed to be bailing from any board at that time. They just didn't play the same town square role once the social media apps started proliferating.
Heck, if not for MT I would not have gotten the opportunity through the Gas Card to meet you, Rob, and Paul and Gary at the 05 Anaheim 1. Still grateful to Gary for him letting me use his 300 from the press box, really generous of him to do that for someone he didn't know. It also was the path that got me back to being able to shoot the Nationals for many years, which was a terrific experience I treasure.
I started on motoworld.com in 2002...moved to motodrive when motoworld folded...and then finally to vital when it started in 2006...it blows my mind its been 20 years since motodrive disappeared...how has that much time gone by?
Motonews definitely had lots of MC insiders posting in it
The following is a joke…
What's with the gap in your resume between 2019 and 2021. You must have been out chasing the big bucks making money hand over fist. 🤣
You can make a small fortune racing, you just gotta start with a big one.
I thought Steve ported a lot of our accounts over from MotoDrive when this place first started, and that's the reason so many of us have join dates in August of '06? I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday, though, so I could be wrong about that.
There was a switch in servers or something where everyone had to rejoin, I believe that’s why a lot of people have similar join dates
When Vital started like Aug 15th 2006 and lots of us got emails from GuyB and a link to Vital so that's why there are so many members with 08/2006 join dates because it was brand new.
I recall something similar. My join date is 8/20/06 I remember getting an AIM message (remember those?) from GuyB with a link to join/sign up for the new site. I think I was still working with Gibby at TransWorld MX at the time
