10 years ago today....

A decade ago, Turborenault.co.uk was born. Here's to many more

Big thanks to the OG 5 for getting it up and running, @andybond @Big Steve - Raider @DaveL485 @Mart and myself with back ground assistance over the last few years from @Brigsy and @Spooky

Cheers all

Congratulations guys, 10 years of smooth sailing, minimal downtime and continued expansion

We said then there was an alternative to the paid model, (Sorry I meant to write, paying for one mans retirement, and new Kitchens. ) and the glorious TurboRenault community has proven that Ten-Fold.

I remember back when we started, we were regularly posting the number of members that had registered to show how the forum was growing, well as of today, we are at 19,273, with 336 of them active on the forum so far this year!

Well done all, in today's trend to the throw away Facebook, Instagram posts this place is a welcome steady state to share and have workable solution to a wealth of knowledge and advice......very little keyboard warrior activity along with continued investment to be as good as it can a WIN for me!

I had a look on the old paying site the other day, honestly it was a real eye opener. Desolate was the word, like stumbling across your nans cupboard full of old memories and dust. No posts in months.

Real mixed feelings on that, lets just say it's a shame to lose all of that history behind a paywall..

For the purpose of prosterity Id still really like to take that data onboard here. I just cant see it happening though.

There’s no better data hoover than the @andybond data hoover!!

Worth reaching out to Chris Miller? They can fight over the cash, we can just keep the history going??

Ill ask - Ill have to find him on the book of face.

As you say - never about the money, or potential gains. All about holding onto data.

The renault5gtturbo.com forum appears to be down at the mo
Hope that hasnt gone to the great internet website graveyard.

This was quite literally the last posts in there that I could see.....

Renault classic car club Forum would have been another one that would have been good to save the info from. Webpage is down. I think it's just FB based now

This drew a genuine laugh out loud!

Isnt it puzzling how admins would rather dig heels in and let all that experience and info go to waste than share it with a free-to-air resource.

The attitude of some people baffles me.

Being a newbie I actually thought this forum was older with it having archived posts however, you’ve all done a good job and I hope this is around for few more decades to come
