I'll echo most of the comments above - very interesting reading the history of the site.
Let me introduce myself - my name's Jeremy. I was mates with Nath & Ted when we decided to start this site (eg: mtb.dknx.net). We had stumbled across a hand-drawn map of gap creek's trails that I think had originated out of TC's Bike Barr - Nath was good mates with Tony and some of his crew there. So one day (back in '01 - possibly '02?) we thought it'd be a good idea to share the map with like-minded riders.. and thus, mtb.dknx.net was born.
Ted was big on making websites back then, so I stole some staff hosting from WebCentral (who I was working for at the time), and managed to keep crediting off our hosting for a year or two.. but eventually the excess data became too much (I think one month was about $700!) - because you guys kept logging onto the archaic "forum" - thank god that's been upgraded!
I should also mention Ted meeting up with Gillian, and her pushing the GCTA thing - is great to see it all successfully off the ground.
As for me, I pretty much stopped riding MTBs and took up motocross in about '04 and haven't logged in a lot since. I can honestly say though that I'm proud to see this site grow into what it is today - looks like ted was on the money with handing over the reigns to mad aussie and crew - well done guys
I've heard the site come up in conversation now and then with various people, and it always brings a smile to my face to hear people talking about it so enthusiastically.
So fast forward to today.. I'm getting back to my roots a little and am picking up a new Giant Trance on friday - can't wait to get out there again and see what you guys have done to the trails! I hear it's changed a fair bit..
See you out there.
