View Full Version : CSC Website celebrates it's 10th birthday

10 years ago next week I registered the cosportbikeclub.org domain name, and with Ralph's generosity to host the site on his servers, I started building the site. I initially registered it for 10 years, so this is the first renewal I'm having to do... it's kind of surreal - it doesn't feel like it's been 10 years already!!

Remember the original logo?

Sorry, I'm not an artist... and I did it in MS Paint :oops: :lol:

And this is obviously not 10 years old, but it still resembles what the site looked like "back in the day":
http://www.hasenhundl.com/CSC/TheOldCSCwebsite.jpg

When we hit 250 members (long before forums were ever introduced into the mix), I figured it was safe to proclaim that we were the largest sportbike club in Colorado. :lol:

The site has changed immensely over the years, and thanks to the introduction of the forums, the amount of time I spend maintaining things has been drastically reduced. Prime example: Member List (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/members.html) and Rider Finder (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/local/riderfinder.html) were separate from the forum and maintained manually by me... But because these were features I felt the club should still have even with the forum, I decided to rewrite them, hooking into the database, so members could maintain their own info (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5370). Then Ralph changed the software, and I had to modify the code to make it work again. :lol:

At age 10?

Why the hell not? I was around loose chicks at 10. Of course they were my sisters, aunts, the chick that owned the bar we lived above, the ho's my pimp buddy "Tommy Two Fingers" used to bring around, and that damned Barbie Doll I found lying in a gutter outside my elementary school. She would do ANYTHING for a warm meal and a pair of untorn jeans. Man I miss that Barbie.

Not to fuck with Spidey's math, but the club is older than 10 years. We existed on a free board for some time (back around 30 members -- we actually all met up with each other and rode bikes), circa ~2000.

I really meant the domain name has been ours for 10 years, so this website, not the club's website in general. The club has been around since the spring of 2000 - Paul had a single web page that consisted of a pic with the slogan "For those who need speed" on it (I may still have a copy of the pic on my old computer - I'll have to check). I took over as webmaster in the fall of 2000 (remember having a website planning meeting at Earl's? :D ), so the club's site was hosted on free servers for about a year before we registered our own domain.

Then the clubs first website was a bulletin boards @ some cycle shops. That's how us FOG's used to communicate, along with the use of smoke signals.

People could then get on the "e-mail list". I would send out a weekly couple e-mails on when/where/etc the rides would be.

If you didn't have e-mail you were pretty much BANNED as I didn't want to make a million calls. Even back in the day, the CSC knew DRAMA!!

Yes Kiddies... back then many people didn't have e-mail/easy access, nor did everyone have a cell phone!! Ewwww.. Now I'm feeling older.

Ralph & Bob... MUCH BETTER IMPROVEMENT w/ the site from my days of being the so-called "admin".. HA HA!!!!! :w00t:
