i remember most of whats been mentioned already.

i also remember joining TOB when i got my first monster....i was looking for information on the tail chop.

things i "don't" remember include,

-why AZ and i avoided the fallout between Herb and allie when they got in trouble..

-what Monsterlover had before his current avatar (which he has had since way back to the boobies thread i think)

-where Toasty was for 3 months during the spring of 2008

-what happened on the first night of the first DIMBY

I'll comment on what I know personally

My avatar has always been Tiffany Lang on the red 900 (which was my first Ducati)  I don't see a reason to mess with success, so it will likely always be her.

The first night of dimby saw a ton of drinking.  When lethe and I showed up at midnight after riding all day, everyone was just about shut down for the night.  We gave them (some of them) a second wind.  We ate burgers and drank beer and it was awesome :D

I remember when this was all just an email list.

I remember the creation and destruction (crash) of the first board, the death of a great board and the birth of something great (this board).

I was one of the first receive a toaster! ;D  

I'm still on the email list. don't see much traffic from it though.

I remember the drama, but I mostly remember the people I've had the pleasure, and ome not so much, of meeting. Some others I have yet to meet, but it will happen some day.

I remember the end....and also remember being in a panic because everyone left.  :P

I was scared.  [laugh] And then I was invited to come play in the new sandbox.

It was pretty hilarious behind the scenes in the Mod Lounge.

I was coerced (thanks, DP  [roll] ) into becoming a moderator to attempt to salvage the local board for Denver (to no avail) and had only been one for a short time.

One day, all of the mods started handing in their badges.  And then promptly given a link to here.

It's been  [beer] since!  [thumbsup]

I've been on this board longer than I've been married. Oh wait, I met my wife on the old board.

;D

I think ours was the first marriage as a direct result of the DML/DMF. But there have been more. Who else?

Jbub and Mother.

MoRillillillilla and Betty Rage.

DucMouse and Plumber's Crack are planning one. Zombie themed, last I knew.  [evil]

The Somepeople/Incredibles, maybe? Dunno how they met, but they're both all covered in DMF goodness.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string. 

Betty Rage

I think apart from sacduc/polpetta, desmolu and I have been the oldest victims of matchducati.com (Dml/dmf)

We met the first time at the monthly DML gathering at the zeitgeist in SF in June of '05.  I posted about a lame little crash I had in late October and she PMed me to see if I was okay. So I asked her out. The rest is history. A true DML love story.
