Who Started TRF?
As we all know there are some great resources here. Does anyone know who started this forum, for some reason I always just assumed it was Larry but I don't know if that is true?

It's not, I pretty new and I don't know the full story. But he doesn't appear that often but shows up from time to time. But I think he turned it over Steve-O at some point.

If you mouse-over a user's name, you'll see that each has a unique user #. (I am 25569)

Mark is/was user # 1.
