Join in celebrating 10 years of meguiarsonline.com by either posting your thoughts, experiences, anecdotes, or whatever in this thread. Or, if you're in the area and want to join us in our Training Garage for cake and soda (and some fun raffle prizes!) then mention that you'd like to be added to our sign up list. With limited space we can accommodate 50 people max, so if you plan on attending please let us know! We'll be holding this Open House on Thursday, January 30 from 7:00 to 8:30PM.
Meguiar's own Mike Pennington and Jason Rose will be in attendance, and so will Kevin Brown, Larry Kosilla, Joe Fernandez, Derek Bemiss and who knows who!
We launched MOL on January 19, 2004 to provide a community for detailing enthusiasts and fans of the Meguiar's brand. We consider MOL to be not only an extension of our Customer Care Center, but truly a great community where anyone from a total newbie to the world of detailing to a seasoned pro can come for information on detailing in general and Meguiar's products specifically. We've watched MOL grow into something that we could scarcely imagine a decade ago and as with any community, it's the members that have been so huge in making that happen. Of course, we would be terribly remiss if we failed to mention all the hard work, dedication and passion that Mike Phillips poured into MOL to get it up and running. We also want to single out Tim Lingor, Mark Kleis and Andy Milczarek for acting as Moderators on the forum over the years; a thankless but important part of the forum.
Here's how MOL looked in the days leading up to our formal launch back in 2004:
Once ready to go we had the basic forum structure set for easy navigation, and on March 29, 2004 we looked like this:
We continued to grow, and after one full year we had a membership roster numbering 2588! And from there we just kept on growing. More posts, discussions about our Detailing Classes, more pictures from our members, and we reached 10,000 members on September 7, 2006. That number grew to 25,000 on November 9, 2009 and today we are over 46,000 members. Together, we've created over 54,000 threads and more than half a million posts!!! There should be a LOT of really shiny cars out there because of this!!
Times change, and we ultimately moved toward a design theme that more closely fit with our other online properties, meguiars.com and carcrazycentral.com. On August 8, 2010 we looked like this:
Things continued to change and evolve, as life always does, and in the summer of 2009 the duties for handling the day to day adminstration of MOL were handed off from Mike Phillips to me. And without a doubt, the very best part of it for me has been all the great new friends I've made here. From teaching our Saturday Classes and Thursday Night Open Garages to working at car shows, doing demos with distributors, etc I've met countless really great car guys. And I look forward to meeting many more of you in the future.
So, what are your fondest memories of your time on MOL? Your greatest lesson learned? Biggest "ah-HA!" moment? Feel free to share them in this thread, and if you plan on attending our January 30th Open House, be sure to specifically mention that as well so we can add you to the list!
Thank you to all our members for helping to make MOL such a huge success, and such an important part of Meguiar's. You guys really are the best!!
