Overland Bound is YOU plain and simple. Thank you! Corrie and I are grateful to have connected with the highest quality people in overlanding! We are lucky.
When things started to get going and we outgrew our tiny servers in the basement and the old forum software was giving up on us, we talked about the future with close members and friends alike, many, understandably said, "Well it will change. You can't do anything about it in a large forum". We felt like a family and our values were shared in common. We understood each other. Then guess what happened?
It didn't change. You can check the stats, we are at about 6,000 members now in the forums, and we don't show any signs of slowing down. As we've grown, what we have found is that the community, perhaps the world, was looking for a place where we don't have this is better than that discussions and it doesn't matter what your level of skill is. We help each other. This community has maintained that, and we are grateful.
We talk about rigs and overlanding all the time, I want to hank the people who are our community, here are just a few!
