I was cruising the Internet Archive and decided to look up the forum for kicks. Here is what the site looked like a year ago yesterday:

FZ6-Forum Community

Ahh the good old days, when Nelly was Perryn, Sportrider was Sportrider_FZ6, and wrightme43 seemed to be terribly afraid of zombies LOL.

Not all the links work and the images don't appear, but it's still fun to see the site when there were only 1000 members. Also, you have to be patient with the page loading speed.

There are other versions of the forum dating back to 2/22/07. Just go to the Wayback Machine on the internet archive and type in the forum URL.

+1

Coming to this forum is such a relief after browsing other forums and being attacked almost every other post. Much props to all the mods for keeping the family feel for this forum! :thumbup::thumbup:

+1000 on the forum being a family orientated place...i know i have no desire to get on the net, and be abused! I just wanna have a decent laugh with a few like minded people, who dont think they are better than anyone else.

Have made some very good friends via this joint!

yea i'm new as well, but what I've noticed is that when you ask something,
you actually get an answer instead of most online forums: "OMG NOOB haha u suck, maybe sell ur bike and get a car to be safe"

love the forum already :D

Definitely.

I've also migrated here from "the other one." It's pretty quiet over there these days.

Hey AJ, let's connect and go for a ride in the spring. (for the rest of you, it's currently 10 degrees outside, and we're expecting an overnight low of 2 degrees....fahrenheit. That's -16 for you celsius users)

Wow, a year ago I'd owned my FZ for all of 3 days and I'd been a member for all of one day!

Same as every post above. One of the friendliest places to go looking for info, or even just a chat with lots of great people.

Big props to Dennis, for starting this great site, gathering a good mob to moderate it, and above all, keeping it going.

I remember reading something from our esteemed Admin, that he never imagined it would take off like it did. Just rewards I say, for a well run and informative site about a great Bike :thumbup:

:)

Now your bike barely resembles an FZ6, and you either have way to much time or your hands or a very healthy obsession with your bike.

Think I came over from the darkside a little after you, and shortly after getting flamed for daring to speak my mind while in noob status.
