Having only been part of this great group for around 9 months I certainly don't know any history of the forum so its great to hear little bits about its evolution. I was worried you might open up a can of worms when starting this thread Ryan if it transpired the history was 'colourful' as described. I think it is apparent that whilst things may have occurred in the past the people who put their time and effort in to todays forum are clearly a great bunch who deserve a lot of credit for what they do and have done.
I have been to pretty much every meet since joining and love every minute of driving to and from them, chatting with those that are their, filling up on good food and taking inspiration from peoples cars, wealth of knowledge and friendly nature.
You are right about the events organisers especially like Steve, Dave, Big 'E' and Silversurfer who continually put time and effort into researching and organising great events so the likes of us standard members can just put our name on a list and pay some money for a great day out.
I am sure there are loads of people on here who put a lot in to the forum on a regular basis I haven't met or got to know properly but I suppose without every single one of us involved nothing would be possible, that's why I think it's important that as many of us as possible sign up for the events organised.
It is also good to see members who still remain part of the forum and come to meets even though they no longer own Subaru's. It's often noticeable how interested we are in other cars and projects from those such as Granby as we all like to poke our head under the bonnet of something different.
I feel fortunate that this is the first forum I have ever really been part of and I am on my first Scoob, maybe I was lucky and got things right first time! Thanks for being so welcoming and supportive. I look forward to a future of events, meets and general chat with you great bunch and hope I can be a part of things here for a long time.
