Anyone else still around from the golden era of ES?

Back when the rating system was numerical from 1-10.

When everyone knew everybody on the site.

When there was 100's of people online at all times.

Not me, but I've been around for like 4 years now I think.

I joined 2 years ago

I thought the rating system was 0-100 or something like that? I've been on here for about five and a half years, and it was changed not too long after I joined.

Or like when my One-77 pic would of gotten at least a solid 80 likes...

I've been around since 2002 when I was in high school, but never posted until a couple years ago. I guess irony is that I didn't contribute until things started to slow down. I still love this site, because even after being able to drive a lot of these cars, visit the factories, etc., there are few things.I enjoy more than a surprise spot

I've been around for about 10 years I think? Maybe not quite that long but I would always check out this website for years before I actually became member.

I have been around for 4 years - since 2015. However, I suppose I didn't join early enough to see the site's glory days. The site's decline is a real shame, it could still be really good but now I think it's barely worth visiting anymore.

Just a couple weeks ago was my account's 7th birthday.

...Damn, time flies.

I missed the early days of ES but still decided to join anyways and never regretted it ever since.

When exactly was this site made?

I've been here since 2011. Got banned countless times because I was always starting "drama" on the website. Now that I'm older, I see that a lot of that could have been avoided had I just posted my pictures and shut up. I was only 11, 12 years old when I started so of course I was an immature brat. I kind of stopped posting on here because the photo quality is cr*p, Autogespot allows more makes and models, and this website just brings back way too many bad memories from my childhood.

This site has honestly become a joke. Sorry to those that still use it frequently but I barely log on here anymore because it just isn't what it used to be. There seems to be spam commenters and other random accounts made almost every week now which doesn't help its cause, and with every day nothing is done, ES just looks more and more archaic compared to sites like Instagram (which themselves are flawed too, I won't lie). But the community that used to exist here is essentially dead, and for that main reason I'm seldom on here anymore.

I come on like once a month nowadays. Really miss the old days of ES. Like when we used that Lambo photo as the makeshift forum.

Hey @DjShift: How did that Gallardo photo end up being a makeshift forum in the first place? I joined way after it happened and never knew.
