Old school site, what happened to Bronco.com?

[Prizefighter]

I know this goes way back, but what happened to Bronco.com? I had just started driving and getting into the Bronco my dad gave me when I found the site circa 1997. I know it's long gone, around 2001, but what happened to it? To the man who began this site, or men, you've done a outstanding job.

What? The guy lives in singapore and used to run Bronco.com? Strange...probably a BS address to keep people from knowing his real one

I'm starting my own early bronco website. It'll have a forum, tech articles, membership, etc. As soon as I get the site done, I'll let you guys know.

I'm thinking it will really be a good source for early bronco enthusiasts.

Steve is/ was the long time owner. He set up the sight first and the old EBML list. He does not admin the sight. I can't remember who the last admin was. I was on Bronco.com last year.

I think Shannon Shirk was an admin for a while. I belonged back in 1999

Easy to do-not many updates on the old Bronco.com, however, lets give credit where credit is due-that site and the ebml started ALL the internet "ebing"
Interesting history, maybe Todd Z will see this and chime in. I got on after it became bronco.com/ebml-it was a smaller list before that with several core guys who are still into ebs.

I remember the old EBML list from 1998 when I moved back to the states and got back into EBs. I'll bet there are a lot of people on CB.com that started out there also.

I was on it before then. I think I still have a lot of that stuff archived.

There was a group of us EB freaks that were on the "offroad mailing list" run by Stefan Roth back in the early/mid '90s. After a period of time, we split off and formed the "EBR-Net" in February '95. I can't recall the original 5-6 members anymore but I believe Jacques Garden, Shannon Shirk, Kraig Pendleton, myself, and probably Bruce Rowen were among the first.

When we first started, we didn't have a real mailing list, per se. We all had to keep everyone's email address handy and made sure we hit reply all with our replies. That didn't work very well because someone was always getting dropped so we quickly formed a real list and it took off from there.

I have no doubt Steve Nunez is listed as living in Singapore. He has lived all over the world in the past 15 years.

I was like #46 or something on the ebr/ebml. I remember there not being any other online eb stuff available then( well almost none). It was nice opening my email and having 500 mails to look through. Had to check mail 4 or 5 times a day just to keep up! It was great. Too bad all that bs happened and so many people disenrolled!

Reflecting back we all really did pass on good information. Your right crush it was hard to keep up with. especially those "Coby tails".

This site is great in todays standards.
