Is it just me, or did we miss the 20 year anniversary of VitalMX?

I see guys like me, FTE, Lostboy, NV825, Seemefirst and others have a start date of 8/2006...so I'm assuming that's around the time when GuyB migrated us over from MotoDrive... 

Crazy, how fast time flies!!


 

The 15th of last month was 20 years since launch. 😅

I think I wandered into motodrive early in 2004 as a bright eyed bushy tailed 15 year old, first post was something like, "gee, Travis Pastrana is really cool, don't you guys think?", and the replies were sobering for teenage me.

The good old days with noob hazing were the best. Even if the regulars disagreed on something, they'd all come together to pile on... lol go team!

Is missing the 20th anniversary of Vital sort of the most Motodrive thing ever?

My start date says 2008 but I know I was a member before that.  Can't remember when I actually signed up but some sort of software glitch or upgrade clipped some of our actual start dates and they got reset to that new date.  No matter.  Loved the Mototalk, Fresh Dirt, etc. era.  Great times back then.   Today..... not so much, but, I'm still here everyday.  🤷‍♂️

I was gonna mention... it would be cool to give a special something to users when they hit a year, 5 yrs, a decade, etc.... 

Also... maybe a special something for people that have never been clipped... and that even includes me... 🙃

Always thought it was weird that people seemed proud of being clipped…yeah bro, pretty cool you can’t get along with people you’ve never met 🙄

In the GuyB days you didn't have to "not get along with others". 

You just had to make a statement of your personal values and if they didn't align with his...BOOM, gone.  I mean, he clipped Joe Newmann who was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.  Guns, Stolen bikes, and Wheelie Boy threads were an almost guaranteed yard sale for the Texas members.😂

This place is basically the only place I go for bike news and information anymore. Work days can really flow by on some of those 10+ pagers...

I go back to the Freshdirt days and then Motodrive.  Never was a fan of Bushwood. Lol.  Glad GuyB left or got booted.  Dude was the quintessential beta lib.

If Spyguy went electric he could get his national caliber speed back

My boy @KTM boy 137 was the one with the national caliber speed.

Unfortunately he never mustered up the courage to attempt a national but hopefully he does Loretta's one of these years just to show what he's got.

There was a bunch of us who had the start date of 4/1/08. 

I can't remember why.

Is it just me, or did we miss the 20 year anniversary of VitalMX?

I see guys like me, FTE, Lostboy, NV825, Seemefirst and others have a start date of 8/2006...so I'm assuming that's around the time when GuyB migrated us over from MotoDrive... 

Crazy, how fast time flies!!

Are you sure that it wasn’t a little bit before that?

22 years here myself...jeez. Been here long enough to know that Big Lenny is the opposite personality in person than he is online.

Ah.  To be honest, I can’t remember precisely how that transition went. I thought that the usernames came over, but that the board itself was an empty slate. Looks like I misremembered!
