It is amazing how quickly things have changed in less than 5 years since Leo (Orginal Admin) decided to create a website for 400EX Enthusiast and figured a forum would be a great tool for sharing information.

Here is what EXriders.com forum looked like on 12/5/2000 with just over 1,000 post :eek:

[Honda4trax250x]

118 registered members:p

[300exOH]

I wasn't a member then but a freind showed it to me on his pc. I liked the color scheme. Much easier on the eyes:eek2:

1000 posts lmao! I haven't seen Leo around here in a long time.:confused:

[Scro]

cool:D

[2000ex]

It truly is amazing on how this site has evolved. I was the 24th person to register....now there are almost 40 thousand :eek:

24th member and only 227 posts? You must do a lot more reading than posting.

not everyone has the time to go on as much as some people do, also alot of people just post if they have a question or know an awnser, take away all your posts like "lol" "sweet quad man" "yeah same here" and you dont have as much as you really think

that old site looks crazy:cool:

Exactly! I hardly ever post on here. I just read the good post and call it good. I joined a yr later after this site was available and i was the 420th member :D .

I hate those useless post! Seems like the are in every single post.

[roostin_dale]

i remember when the site was like that. my name was quad freak or somethin but i forgot the password to it. :blah:

[Tommy 17]

i remember those days... the days i was 400ex 21 and didn't know what a nerf bar was:o

[Giz400ex]

How do you get to know what number member you were???

[hardkoratvmxr]

Alot of the forums issue a sequential number when you first sign up. You can see that number by holding your cursor over your "profile" button. Unfortunately, this website had a massive change early on so alot of the oldest members had to re-register or something, so their number is not accurate from when they were a member of the original site.

The number I am referring to is the very last part of the of your user ID that is located at the bottom of the webpage to direct you where the link will take you, if you click on it.

For example your is #54. while mine is 5869 ( you can find this out on anyone's profile.)

I too remember when the site was like that, but I was still overseas and couldn't remeber what my username was when I returned so I made a new one.

[crday98]

i really miss the old color scheme. this one is too pale IMO. i think we need a new color combo or to go retro:D
this site have definitely changed from back then:ermm:

[Merriman]

Here is a picture of what I am talking about. :confused:

[FasstMidnightZ]

I agree, I know Harlen is busy with the site. But, it would be nice in the future to go back to the old color scheme or a new one.

[theTman]

i think it looked cool black and red

[yellow400ex05]

Hondaexrider how did u change ur user name?

[Rico]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The good ole days....:o

[2000ex]

You can click on members at the top of the forum and they are listed sequentially by registration date.

Back in the day it was a much more technical forum and I learned pretty much everything I know from this and Gabe's (86atc250r) Yahoo 400ex group. I have always been more of a reader than a poster. They say the best way to learn is listen.

staring at the current color scheme is like starng at a lighbulb...i wonder what a grey back ground would look like or at least just a little darker?

[MOFO]

I remember those days... the good 'ol days... :D

I'll have to check and see what number I am...I think I was one of the first 15 to join... :eek2:

EDIT: This board is now showing me as the 7th member to join... I think a couple accounts may have been deleted... :confused: :eek:

Hmm thats weird. The way i did it was i went to members at the top of the page and hit list by date joined. GIZ400ex it says you were the 6th to joined. Not sure if that is correct or if merriman is right. Either way that was along time ago. This site has come along ways.

Giz, looks like I registered right after you. According to the board, your 6th and I'm 7th. The profile shows you has 54 and I'm 55. Good to see I'm not the only one that has stuck around this long...LOL!

I've been a member here longer than I've known my wife... :eek:

[Johnny_G]

I did not realize I had been here so long...I am member #1843:eek2:

Harlen is member 4434 I never realized I been around longer than You Harlen.

Anybody notice that Gabe is member #1 after the webmaster????

[Punk'd]

I like the color it is now nice and calm.. LOL but man the site sure has changed

[MOFO]

Harlen...

Do you have any other screen shots? Its like taking a step back in time....

[TheFontMaster]

Thats awsome seeing what the site came from. I joined here about a year and a half ago. I think I had a user name that I used before that, when I found the site about 3 years ago, when I first got my 300ex, and I wanted to know how the 300ex compared to the blaster:rolleyes:

Im member number 14922, the site has more than doubled since I came here. I remember there was only 3 or 4 section for sport quads, 2 or 3 areas in the race coverage area, the general section only had frequently asked questions, open forum, and that might have been it, and the only site sponsor was C&D racing.

[400ex28]

yea i think we need a new color sheme lol :macho

[mikecole]

i joined in 2003 so im still a newbie
