Hus doesn't count. Damn 4K's.

Also, nearly half a million posts between us. Damn.

Thread needs history in bulletpoints.

Feels like about 2 years to me. Crazy fast.

Congrats to the OG mods for making it what it is. I knew it'd grow but not to size it has.

I liked that I could keep up with every thread when there was so few of 'em, and how scared people were of typing the wrong thing in the first few months and felt the overwhelming urge to prove themselves haha.

Certainly isn't a bad thing. I have learned heaps from reading through threads on here, always good to see where people are at with their cars.

Wow time has flown, I can't believe it has gone that fast!

Well done!

Some random numbers.

6.1 new members per day.
13.4 new threads per day
247.6 new posts per day

lols delivered on here? Many.

I tried counting threads on Ozec, but there's whole pages of threads that have been moved, so many threads would have been counted twice. Rough guesstimate is 1300 threads in 5 years, which is 0.7 threads per day. lol.

Great effort guys!

It could also be argued that the original ford.i8.com was a direct predecessor, in which case we're up to 11 years now.

Awesome feat, considering the other forum gave us 6 months at the most :P

We're probably the biggest active forum/club other than AFF and have the biggest Ford event of the year.

Well done to everybody who has been a part of it over the last 5 years (and years before that as ESOC)

Vicfords was never going to be a proper competitor in all honesty. It was basically a small group of mates, mostly people who'd been banned from here who set up a forum to talk shit. It did the job for that short amount of time, although funny how hostile it got between boosted and vicfords!
