Hello all,
Just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone. I've officially transferred the domain names to Ryan so we're essentially finished with the transfer of ownership.
It has been a complete blast running these forums for the past 7 years! I've met so many people, and we've had so many good discussions. Thank you all for hanging in there with me all this time.
Over the years, there have been a lot of bad discussions as well. To anyone I've ever offended in the last 7 years in a heated political discussion or otherwise, I am sorry and I sincerely hope that it's all water under the bridge at this point. I've run these forums from age 18 to my current age of 25... I have certainly said and done some things I regret here, as I'm sure many of us have.
I'll always have fond memories of picnics, car shows, cruises, dinners, and all the other things we all did together as a group. Again, we have had a blast. Here are just a few of my favorite memories (some for good and some for bad reasons):
- Adam P and DustinsDuster's maple syrup-chugging contest at Buffalo Wild Wings, and watching them both throw up outside of Trent's shop later that night.
- Deimos and I taking the Buffalo Wild Wings challenge... and throwing up in the same toilet afterwards (there's a video of this on my Facebook, BTW).
- Having a group dinner with Steve Dahl a few months before he passed away due to Cystic Fibrosis.
- All of us as a group driving up to Dubuque to attend Steve's funeral, and the Priest reading aloud the letters we all wrote to Steve.
- Renting out the party room at Godfather's pizza on the night of the first snow of winter.
- Having our first picnic where well over 50 people showed up and we all stuffed our faces with all the hamburgers and hotdogs we could eat.
- Having to have two picnics the next year because it was literally 40 degrees and raining in JUNE during the first one. The handful of people who did show up all huddled around the grill for warmth before we finally called it quits and went home.
- The HUGE car shows at B-Bops when they were in town, and the significantly smaller (but still fun) car shows at Advanced Auto when we couldn't meet at B-Bops anymore.
- The various "cruise nights" we set up where we'd flood first avenue with IAF members and cruise around all evening.
And who could forget the many sleepless nights I spent fixing the website after we were hacked, or the more usual culprit of me breaking something while trying to install a modification.
Add me on Facebook, or shoot me an email at ZDFields@gmail.com.
PEACE OUT IOWA AUTO FORUMS!
