Well basically I used to spend a lot of time on the OCAU forums reading/learning about cars because there weren't any aussy honda sites or civic sites. At that time, me and Ben (XPLOSIVE) had honda's and i was thinking of setting up a site to see how it goes. SO after a few weeks of contemplating it I was bored at work and thought 'hey what the hell might as well register a domain now to get me started' and after around 15 mins discussing a name for the site with my mate next to me, I registered Ozhonda.com (the other option was Aushonda.com). Then basically just setup a phpbb forum and I thought i'd give it a month to see how it goes. If it didn't go anywhere, I figured i'd scrap it and then just forget the money I paid for the domain name and hosting.
Well as you could have guessed, it grew bigger and bigger and it got to a stage where I just didn't have the time to look at all the new users in the member list OR to read EVERY post made each day. So that's pretty much it. Thinking back the site has come a long way and one thing I wanted was for it to become a resource of good information. So far soo good and we're getting more and more info and DIYs as we go. In the scheme of things, Ozhonda is still pretty young but so far so good. As long as we can keep the spamming/bickering to a minimum and have related/on topic technical discussions, then I'd know the site is the way I want it to be.
