Frankt8242 1 Posted August 7, 2011 As an old timer on the rep forums, I like to look back at the early posts from the mid 2000's.....Is this the site that was the original RWG from those days..?? I joined RWG2 in March '06, when the $hit hit the fan on "old" RWG, and I assumed then that it just faded away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted August 7, 2011 Hi Frank - glad you found your way back here. Simple answer is yes and no After most of the old RWG members moved off to RWGJr, some folks stayed around on the original RWG. It turned into a bit of a free-for-all, simply because there was nobody who had admin access to moderate the place properly. A bunch of us liked it that way. Eventually, in 2008, the magic smoke evaporated and with Blade long gone, those of us who were left were homeless. So we started again - we didn't have access to the original database (again, because Blade was AWOL) so we kept the look and feel - and the core membership - from the last days of the old board and started from scratch. Originally we were on a different URL, but we managed to re-acquire the original address last year. I guess it depends on how you look at it. We're very much a continuation of RWG1 as it was in its last year or so (which is possibly not the RWG you remember ). We're less heavily moderated than the other boards, which gives us something of a character of our own. You'll see if you stick around (as I hope you will). There's a somewhat longer version of what happened here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=4298 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caused their reviews and stickys are all 2009? thanks, Jes Newb Okay. There's 4 major rep forums currently extant. RWG (us - aka replica-watches-guide) RWI (replica-watch.info - our 'sister' board. trailboss99 is the boss over there as well as being an admin here). RG (repgeek) RWGJr (rwgforum) aka RWG2 There's also a couple of smaller forums: W-C (wrist-check) and Rolerai (if they're still up - they closed down and then re-appeared. Dunno whether they're still going, though) plus Zeitgeist (German-speaking rep forum). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caused their reviews and stickys are all 2009? thanks, Jes Newb Ziggy and By-Tor are still around, especially @ RWG2. By-Tor doesn't seem to do as many reviews as he did in the old days. He recently posted over there that he was getting abit bored with the hobby. The quality of the reps has improved but the whole scene seems to have become more mainstream and commercialized.
