Wow!!!!!!

When I joined this site, there were just over 500 members and maybe 50 would be online at the same time. Now there are over 21,000 members and over 1000 online. All I gotta say is "WOW, good job Jack!"
I can't believe how fast this forum is growing

Scott we are seeing daily hits of a million or more I don't think most people are aware how much traffic we are dealing with here now.

We sure have grown a bunch thats for sure!

i am one of the newer members but not TOO new. but i just wanna say that this forum rocks. i ran across this website on yahoo when i typed in a question i had on my truck and this site came up. i joined and have been totally satisfied ever since. i have learned so SO much about my truck i didnt know, and since i plan on going to college to be a diesel tech in the fall semester of '06 this helps me learn even more to further my education. this is a great of people and a great site. thank you all and if you agree i think you should let people know.

thanks again

I've seen this site change about 3 times now in my 4 years of being here. I joined 2/2/02. And if you look at my post count, you can obviously tell that I love this site. My truck most definately wouldn't be where it is right now with everyone's help.

It's Jack and Lary's sandbox,
But it's all the members who come over to play (nicely) that make this site great.

I just joined a couple days ago, but I have been reading up on this site for the past couple months. It sure has helped me out a lot in Diesel class at Vocational School. This site is the best!!!!

Jack and Lary do a great job..... Maybe this would be a good time to bring up the donations link in the DTR store.... It is those donations that help keep this site free, along with the sponsors and plenty of hard work by Jack and Lary....

We don't want to have to subscribe like they do on the "other" Dodge/Cummins site....

Too bad other forums don't use this one as an example. I've never had the chance to associate with a more intellegent and respectful group of people. Good job everyone. Thanks for making me feel at home.

That's probably not that far from the truth.............

Edit to add:
I can't believe you forgot to mention Big Blue.

I absolutely love this site!!!! As a matter of fact ever since I found this darn site, I have done more reading and accomplished less work then I have ever done in my entire life.................it's a good thing I'm my own boss or I'd be fired Just kidding!!

This site is awesome, I have learned a great deal by chatting with ya'll and consider every single one of you guys to be my friends. Nothing like talking trucks and performance and having some laughs.............good times guys, I wouldn't give this site up for the world!!


Thanks Jack and Larry!!! Thanks DTR members!!!

This is a fantastic site. What I really like is how you guys stay on top of things and keep it clean. It is so nice to read a forum on the internet without all the foul and obscene talk. Congratulations Larry, Jack and all of you admin guys for a job very well done.
