WOW!
When is the exact anniversary of dropzone.com?

[BIGUN 1,071]

I had made a mental note that Sangiro's register date was the end of October this year for 10 years. Sorry, I skipped over it.

Sangiro: Registered: Oct 28, 2000, 10:17 PM

Happy Anniversary, Sangiro.
Thanks for letting us stay in contact, discuss, debate, help our fellow skydivers, generate money for charity, etc. with each other all these years.

That is the anniversary of *this* version of the forums. There were forums before that. HH started Dropzone.com in 1994. In 2000 when I got on the forums, it was the old forum software. HH had this version running in the background until Feb of 2001 when it went live.

Dave,

And there was one even before that, that a few people know about.

It was around 2004/2005 when it started to loose that really nice fun feel. Marked by tragedies in the DZ.com family.

I came on in 2001, so I may be a year or so off, all I went on was Sangiro's registered date.
So, again... Happy Anniversary and thanks, Sangiro.

Now, I'm confused... perhaps a history lesson? Whois shows the the domain Creation Date as: 25-aug-1997

And before that HH and Twardo were sending smoke signals back and forth across the DZ...

Even then, they weren't allowed to place images inline in their posts!

HH had an early version as a blog on his personal site before that, if I remember what he told me while sharing a beer in Eloy back in '02.

Ok, there it is! I was off by two years. Thank you for finding it.
Man a lot of people have come and gone and come back and gone again in that time.

reocities/geocities...wow. I had a Geocities page years ago in Heartland but I can't remember the address.

Brings back memories of learning HTML.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Yup, my first site was on geocities too. I think it was on the cape canaveral "block." Switched to another free hosting service at some point, and I still have all the site files.

I had a site in 1995 hosted by my local ISP, then I had daves-world.com back in '97 until around 2000 or so. Back when the web was new and exciting (and you could still find interesting stuff on Gopher).
