yea im still here but its just that i have a lot busier life then i did back in those days...im in two college level classes an honors class and a foreign language (11th grade year sucks)
but yea and then theres also varsity football thats going along at the same time...

but i believe the boards have become more mature in how people act...like they dont just treat it as a place to hang out its being treated with respect

How old is CSS?? I don't remember when I joined the last CSS, but I think it has been about 2 years. Is that the "old css"?

no but if you remember the automotive design thread for contests was canned at the old site, yet here it has stayed and stayed pretty active, so i think it really has been in the long run also

Sure someone mentioned adding my origional post count.... remember being in the top ten many moons ago

[pipitous]

i've noticed alot of members coming and going, and i agree w/ superfresa in that alot have gotten alot more mature, including, IMO, me. at least i hope so. the automotive design section has gotten way more active lately, i've already gotten 9 or 10 replies to my last thread, which it would have usually taken a week to do. that's more of a short-term change though.

You guys are nuts, the site ain't that old, we hit 4 years next july I believe and only 1 year in january since the move from proboards to Zeroforum.
and we are 3 years old now, did we forget the 3rd anniversary this year on the 23rd, unless you guys actually mentioned it? Since I was away for those day, well didn't check the forum.
quick history written up by Andre back on the old board:

On July 23rd, 2002, A small forum began on the servers of http://www.Arborwood.com. Called Car Spy Shots, it thrived for ten months, gathering 200 members, and the respect of a number of industry professionals. On June 12, 2003, it moved to a new host at http://www.Proboards.com forum hosting. Once again, over Ten months, it bloomed, gathering members, photographers, and earning its name in the industry. As each time goes, Car Spy Shots receives more respect, praise, and a better quality of information. On February 11, 2004, a brief facelift and addition of features made the website more exciting, professional, and easier to use for a number of people. Car Spy Shots has gathered over 5500 members in 19 months, and has been accessed 5.2 Million times. Thats an average of about 10,000 views per day, and a net gain of 10 members per day.

[vosteglog]

What a nice looking banner

[chuecafressds]

Are you guys Moving again someday?Like to Vbulliten or InvisionPowerBoard? Vb is nice but it costs an arm and a leg!
Ive been a member for 173 Days!I actaully looked at the old Proboards site for a moth or two. Then I looked at Chargers Suggest a Chop and i wanted to suggest a Chop for charger. But then it moved,So then I registered almost on the first day here. Any nobody ever Chopped the ramcharger and Bronco i wanted. SO I started Chooping myself.Thats why i registered. I also signed up on Supercars.net.But i got banned the first day for saying Honda GoldWings suck!

[gtyruzzel]

Well that's up to him, I dont think we need any updates and anyway its not my buissiness (sp, w/e) I'm happy with it as it is.
Ascariss I know the site isn't THAT old but still IMO it has changed sooo much...

My experience with this site in brief is:
- Found it linked through the land rover chronicle, straight into a thread about the first LR3 spy shots, will be 3 (or 2?) years in october I think... Joined even though I didn't know what a forum was, and had never joined anything on the internet.
- Posted actively until april 23 last year, when after an assault and several problems with my life kept me away until October. During this absence is when all the changes occurred, and when most of todays active members joined.
- Been posting ever since actively except for 2 pauses of arround a month or 2 each due to other problems, and became a little more inactive a month ago but I'm still here as I said back then...
And at least I believe I myself post more intelligent stuff now than back then!
Over this time, changes are imminent, and for good IMO.
Well happy late aniversary to css anyway! Naga din't know you were actually warned at some point, and now you're a moderator...
Also noticed today that knicks.125 is now moderating as well! Good work on getting up there!

[Eromaveabeara]

guys have i ever been a member of the old site?

[fectsnanteemy]

I remember the gaming area. It really didn't work too well, especially when it was still trying to do automotive games only. Good times.
*Wow, I didn't even remember that I had used that Caterham avatar. Weird seeing that again.

[citalopram]

I still remember signing up to the old site, and after the first week getting an email on bashing cars, lol! I used to sign in on the old site every now and again but i havnt done that for ages now...
I think i used to be Danny02 or Danny01 but then i changed to Hornbag_1 i think? I actually got a bit sick of the old site, i remember people always arguing and another dude (James) invited me to the fordaustraliaforum and it all seemed good. Then i got banned for bashing or something, LOL! Then i cmae back to the old site, then you guys moved! lol, so here i am, now im Hornbag! I think ive changed a lot, i think im a little more mature from the days when all i used to post was "american peice of s**t". LOL!

[gydrorway]

I think i've been member for two years now, more or less. That's the time when Naga was Naga Royal Guard, i believe (so many names...), i wonder if i could be considered a veteran or not.......
I don't really think the forum has changed that much during all this time. This is the only forum i'm registered in, but as far as i know this is a very mature and respectful forum compared to others. Even Rik has moderated his BMW crusade
The only problem i have is that people uses to change his name very often, so it's hard for me to recognize people from the old forum.
