I probably visit the POG site more than any other site on the internet, except for eBay and that's another story, but today I just started looking at all our members and wondered something: who was the first to join the webgroup and when? I did a quick scroll, and saw that Admin, obviously, was the first on 6/28/2000, and then came "Gooey" and KTMKirk on 10/4/2000. Why was there a big gap in registering and how was the word spread? Anybody remember? Not that it's important, I'm just wasting time! [}:)]
Mick;
All questions are good questions: Jack Penton mentioned at a POG meeting(1999),that one of his KTM dealers (Hole Shot in Akron)had a web site that was set up and taken care of by his sister and brother in law "D&s Web Pages". Jack was asked to look into it and that was the start of the Pentonusa.org site. Wanting to expand our site the board could see that we needed a webmaster. Bill Smith volunteered (he and Karen are still our webmasters) but, they wanted to use the provider that they were familiar with. Which I think caused the gap in registrations. The change over was very time consuming, but well worth it.
Have Fun!
