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

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

Thread needs history in bulletpoints.

Damn! That's half a decade. Doing well besides all the halfwits.

by **galapogos01** » July 16th, 2012, 10:14 pm

Long live boosted

by **Bipolar** » July 16th, 2012, 10:16 pm

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.

Congrats!

by **DJV8T5** » July 16th, 2012, 10:35 pm

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.

Top work!

by **suspect** » July 16th, 2012, 10:54 pm

Well done. Around way less then aff and have less members. Yet boosted still the better site. Well done John, sunny, gill, pete and who ever I'm forgetting.

Woo hoo! Kudos goes to those who keep the site up and running and organise/attend events etc to keep it active. You know who you are :thumbsup:

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

Well done!

by **braad** » July 17th, 2012, 12:41 pm

Congratulations guys. Well done on a good 5 years (i'm still only a newbie)

by **get_an_ea_today** » July 17th, 2012, 1:17 pm

Awesome! That has gone so fast...

Actually its been 5 years today since I signed up! Woo :drinks2:

An xkcd timeline showing esoc (pre 07) --> boosted vs eanl/oze/vicfords/etc would be good for a laugh!

by **AaronEF8** » July 17th, 2012, 1:58 pm

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.

by **Troutman** » July 17th, 2012, 7:08 pm

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.

by **EFFalcon** » July 17th, 2012, 8:26 pm

it all counts

by **ronza** » July 17th, 2012, 8:42 pm

Well done all involved this is a great site with so much good stuff ....
Even better than face book and Justin beiber...... :shock:

lmao yeah dont worry they'll never take off!!!!!
All the best for the future we know fords time is limited but lets make the most of it!!!!

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

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)

by **Dezza** » July 18th, 2012, 5:20 pm

Woohoo! Great job to all involved! It's a great club to be involved with (even if I did have a bit of a shaky start with this forum

)

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!

by **pHaT`eL** » July 18th, 2012, 5:25 pm

Also funny to see pretty much all of those members signed up and active on here instead of AFF too

by **LTDHO** » July 18th, 2012, 5:44 pm

Is it on the same date as RussellW's b'day???

For those who missed out, it was yesterday

Quite the strategic move on our behalf unbanning all their members at once.

Nah, i think it was the 15th July 2007 that we opened things up, might have been the 13th.
