DC.com History

I was going thru some old files and found this picture we made after the first DC.com meet in Kent, WA

[Nacho-RT74]

Maybe was when it was D-C.com and not DC.com?

[Alaskan_TA]

I do love green.

[marshallfry01]

What was the first year for the old website?  I didn't join until the 2011-12 time frame.

[RallyeMike]

Neat pic of the three green years in row.

I used to own "The Liz" before selling it to Kelly - he did a nice job restifying it. I'm so glad he ended up with it 

[Troy]

I'm pretty sure that pre-dates me. I was at the show in 2006 (the year after this site went live) and I believe it had been going for several years.

It does predate you Troy.

And let me publically thank you for rescuing the Dodge Charger web presence, and all the work and money you put into keeping us going!!

Pretty sure it's older than that. I think I joined in 2002 when I bought my black 68 and it had been going strong for several years. That's how I got involved: the site crashed and the database was corrupted so Jesse was going to throw it all away and start over. I had my car in a million pieces and all the information I had about putting it back together was in the tech threads! He let me have access to fix the database (that's what I do for a living) and we didn't lose anything except the last day of threads/posts. I still have that copy of the database so I could actually just go an look to see when the first post was...

No 70 in 2006.

i was a late comer   May 03, 2007, 02:45:54 PM  My buddy Lonnie  Moparhound told me i have to join

[VegasCharger]

Thanks Troy for all you do to keep this site up and running.

For all who complain about uploading pics in here, it's a small fraction compared of what Troy has to do to keep it going.

I'm a late late comer, March 2012. I was always into Mopars but from 2005 thru 2012 I went into a hiatus until I got back my craving for a 68, so that's when I joined.

[Dino]

I bought my previous Charger in I think 2004 so I was definitely on the site by then. Likely it was 2003. Went by Doc74 back then! Good times with a lot of good people, many that are off the site unfortunately.

[NHCharger]

I was on the old board for several years before the crash. I am one of the old timers here. I am member #10 I believe.

[RallyeMike]

12 years. Time sure flies.

[Nacho-RT74]

I joined also in 2002. My first nickname was Venezuelan_RT74. Dunno how many member were by those days, but when the old website dissapeared I think had around 10K posts? Can't recall. Chryco_Psyco had around 2K when I joined I think. Sooo maybe by 2000 year ?

Dino, I think you joined before 2003! I remember you posting on one of my first threads there ( if not the first one ) when you asked me about having a 74 being an RT

I remember that! Yeah it must've been earlier. Man we're getting old!   

[RECHRGD]

I'm one of the old timers.  Went by my real name back then and was at the first meet in Kent.  Miss those days.......

I am on there so I guess that makes me an old timer! HAHA!

  flash back from the past     just tried logging in , went to charger for sale on some auction

Same here, I try to log in & it takes me to the same auction site. The earliest I can find me on there is April 2, 2003. But it won't open any of the threads, so I can't tell how many posts I had by that date. Speaking of which, scroll to the bottom of the home page on that date & check out how many members had logged in within 24 hours...458! That was a lot of action going on.
I also noticed that back then, Ponch was going my "TheUltimateMoJo"...

[Troy]

You guys may not want to log in! The http://web.archive.org web site is just a static record of the pages that existed. It IS NOT the forum!!! The links should take you to other pages on archive.org. If anything takes you to dodge-charger.com then you are going to a site run by whoever owns the domain now (according to Whois this is "DYNADOT, LLC"). The domain is "parked" right now which is probably why it's displaying ads.

[Charger_Fan]

That makes sense. Too bad it won't open up some of the threads...I'd like to revisit the "hot chicks" thread, for starters.

me too but I don't know where I joined  maybe 2001  or 2002. I got this charger in 2001 so I would think 2001  maybe    BigAlSr

Thanks TROY this is a great page.................

Who owns the orange 70 charger rt with the white daytona wing? I saw that car driving down the highway in tampa bay florida in early april this year, very cool to see.

[triple_green]

I got my charger in 1998, I found Moparts right away..I think I was on Dodge-Charger.com by 99 or 2000.

[kab69440]

I logged in and went to a page that was mostly late model LX Diplomats for sale.

I got a link to the old DC board from someone on scatpack.com. That is one site I sure do miss!

[73rallye440magnum]

I think I was on the old site and was somewhat perplexed when it died. I joined this one in August of '05. I was 17! Thanks, Troy!!!!

I'd been a lurker on the old site for a few yrs. When it disappeared that summer I was sad to see it go. Thus I signed up as soon as I found the new one. Took me several years to actually start posting though.

[chargerboy69]

I joined the old site in 2002 I am thinking.

If anyone was there for the T-shirt mess, then they are a true "Old Timer".

Oh yeah... 

[areibel]

I didn't remember when I joined but I'm on the list, complete with my first email address (that's been dead for probably 12 years).
And I still have my T shirts (I got mine!) but they don't quite fit like they used to- they shrunk in an odd fashion, the chest and shoulder area is fine but for some reason it's too small around the midsection now?  

[Chad L. Magee]

I joined D-C back around 2000 or so, when I was a masters student at USD.  That was before I went to Mizzou for my PhD.  Yep, I'm officially very old now. ....

We have heard of this shirt for years , Lets see a picture

[Nacho-RT74]

Urban legend or truth? Time to MYTHBUSTERS.... LOL

[OldGuy]

Marc -
Thanks for posting a picture of the "Magnum Force"...mine is the 1969 in the middle.  Heard anything from Kelly?  He has been MIA on the site.

[six-tee-nine]

I can still remember the old site but dont know if I joined or not. I know I first registered under the name "Wantacharger" since I was hunting for something and hunting for info on do's an dont's... I bought my 69 in 2006 and changed my screenname then.

It only makes clear how life can get in the way some times. In 2005/2006 I was only a young punk (25) with a crazy idea... Then bought a house, married, 2 kids came along and so on and on. The bright side is the Charger project is still here and still moves albeit slowly, but it moves forward.
After over a 1000hrs of bodywork the beast is almost ready for a shiny coat of paint.

Haha. Some guys still get salty over that. Life is too short to hang on to that type of rage over $20. I think i still have my shirt somewhere.

Im pretty sure I joined in December 2001 and the site had been around 6mos-1yr at that point.

Some epic battles between ChargerBill and a couple of guys over politics and religion. Pretty sure theyre the reason for the rule here.

[Old Moparz]

I am on there so I guess that makes me an old timer! HAHA!


Todd

Yeah, probably when Pabst Blue Ribbon was in steel cans with pull tabs.   

[RallyeMike]

He's a biker now, into Indians. I believe the Lizard was sold.

[areibel]

We have heard of this shirt for years , Lets see a picture

Well worn and a little shabby now, but hyphen and all-

It was a little ridiculous. Sure, it wasnt cool that people got ripped off. On the other hand,  dudes were boasting about how they were gonna find out where the dude lived, show up with their AR15s and "solve the problem". Over some t shirts.
