One year ago on March 13th Dudebronation had it first members sign up.
For those of you that are new to DBN, this site was created by a small group of fans of the C&R show. We literally came up with the idea and within a week we had our own website. In fact the first users signed up for the site only 3 days after I purchased the domain name. Originally it was placed on an old decommissioned server that I was using to learn Linux. Personally I figured the site would run for a few weeks, fizzle out and then we’d all be back to where we started from.
Although some of the original members disappeared, got different jobs or just lost interest, we have new people signing up every week. The majority of the members here have never met each other in person and yet they treat each other like they’ve been friends for years. Even the new members are given a warm welcome. That's pretty rare around other forums.
For those of you that are on DBN on a daily basis I thank you guys. This site may not bring in any money, but it sure feels damn good to have been a part of creating something that other people enjoy. I don’t know about you guys, but one of the first things I do when I turn on the computer after work is check out DBN. Many thanks go out to everyone that has contributed to this site over the last year. As always I look forward to hearing your suggestions toward future improvements.
To Covino, Rich & Spot, I thank you guys for supporting us. Your acceptance has helped this site grow..
Here’s to many more years of being a kick ass forum for a kick ass radio show. :beer:
