When was Corvette Forum started?
I asked this question in Off Topic and no one seems to know when the Corvette Forum was first begun by Troy Roberts.
I don't know and I am just curious.
I know it existed before April 1999 but don't know the month and year it was started.
Thanks,
Kurt

After being referred to the member list by someone and looking at the dates they joined, I guess it might have been sometime in February of 1999 although I saw two 1969 dates, unless they are misprints.

I was hanging around at Alt. Autos Corvettes on usenet at the time and checked out the Forum but didn't sign up until later. I thought it was so much slower than usenet that it would never work!
