Hi ...
I'm interested in knowing who started it all.
It's the single most greatest site for charger restoration information.
I thank you in advance who ever you are  :cheers:

This Phoenix version or the ancestor?  This one was started by Troy.  Was the old started by Jesse or just killed off by him?

Fuzzy

All I knew about was this version.
When you say "Phoneix" version does that relate to Arizona ?
What happened to the original version ? Maybe too many questions but I'd like to think that this site won't ever get killed off  :icon_smile_big:

Ghoste

Nope, I mean Phoenix as the bird rising from the ashes.  We had site before with a slightly different name and many of the same old timers on it and it kind of fell apart amid great controversy.

They were both laid out about the same if I remember correctly.  Somewhere on here someone had links or something to be able to see parts of the old board. The second link will take you to the old board.

Of course Troys is much better. . .  I got my T-shirt.  :2thumbs:

Gotcha ... have read those old posts via your link's, thank's
Probably best to move on.

Well I got my answer !

Ghoste

Yes laid out the same.  The only differences are administrator integrity and a subtle spelling change in the name. (we couldn't use the old one of course)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe DC.com was originally started be the Romans during the first world war.   It was initially a site they used for running drugs and prostitution out of Vegas before Troy turned States evidence and took over the site after prohibition.    :shruggy:   I think that's the true story...

I keep hearing about this (what sounds liek) a devious t-shirt scandel? Something to do with the old site I guess?

Stop reminding me about the t-shirts!  I order several + shipping to Europe and that a-hole ran off with all our money.

The new site works great because we have admins and mods with morals, that always helps.   :2thumbs:

I'm sure Jesse is living the good life on a beach somewhere sipping umbrella drinks all day long, cruising in a Hemi Charger, counting all that t-shirt money & laughing.

That would be interesting to know.  I bet a good number of us made it over, but not many left now.  Heck, a few of us have been here for 10 years.  :o

Never ceases to amaze me every time this comes up how many people are still so bitter and angry about the t-shirts. Yeah, it was a bad deal, and people got ripped off, some for humongous amounts of money ($100!) ::); and everyone always says "its not the $, its the principle." But for funksakes..its been 8 years. Eight. Holding on to that much anger and bitterness for that long and over what is, essentially, a pittance, cant be healthy...
