I was curious to see who is the first member or members to start the corvette forum website? Are they still around and kicking?

Not sure if Ryan Adams is still on the forum - he hasn't had any activity since 8-2-01. I know there are some other members that have been here since 1999.

Troy Roberts was the original founder and owner of the CF. It has since been sold - it is now owned by Internet Brands.

I don't think Troy is still around, but I don't know for sure. Many of the folks that were around here in early 1999 when the forum was started are long gone, though there are still a few.

One of those questions that would be great if we had a "Forum Historian" to capture this information.
