Mutt,
I started the site in early 1998, as a Kubota discussion forum... one thing has led to another, and the small group of people on that forum years ago has grown and grown into what you see today. I started it simply because there was no other resource on Kubota tractors online, and I wanted all the info I could get! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
We've had several 200,000+ hit days, but the average is about 150,000 per day. Post record for one day is currently 332 as far as I know. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif It takes daily attention... lots of maintenance and upkeep, plus recently work on a new design and added features.
It's really become more than I originally could have hoped for, and I'm thrilled to see the great community that has developed over the years. We still have many members here that were around when the original forum opened, but I won't try to list them this time since I usually forget someone! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Today we've still got the same idea as day one... a place to gather and share tractor information and knowledge. Everything I've done with the site has been from a user's perspective, and hopefully that has helped build the site into what it is.
