how did you find BITOG?

[ramblar]

How did you first find this site?

I know some of you have been here since the beginning, and are just wondering.

I have lurked here for a while, and can rember Bio-T posting "Happy 2nd birthdday BITOG" on general and off topics, which is the first thread I looked at.

And also, how/why did you come up with your username?
This should be a fun topic to read for a while.

Here's a similar thread from a few months back:

As for my user name, it dates back to when I had an A4 quattro and was fascinated with Audi's all-wheel-drive technology. I use this user name on many other forums.

I found Bitog on google by accident. My coworkers call me Oilpants becaise I often wear those black fisherman's oil pants when there's a major spill. People always dump their half full soda cups in the Trash. You should see whats in our dumpsters behind the theater its really nasty especially now in the swelltering heat!

From a link posted by Tall Paul in the oil and lube section of another forum. As far as my user name, at the time this was the year and make of truck I owned at the time.

I think I was reading the Oil Bible and in my search BITOG popped up.

I was googling "fram oil filters suck" and BITOG link came up for the first site. And I couldn't stop reading

Googling "Best Oil" Oh boy, was that a mistake... I never ever spent so much time on something!

Darn GOOGLE!

IIRC I was googling for directions on how to change oil on my first car. I had a Civic and that's how I came up with my s/n. Wish it was something more general though since I don't have the Civic anymore and it's long.

I just tried that, the first thing that came up was a thread from the saturn fan club, and the third responce said "go to bobistheoilguy.com for a detailed explanation"

 

[panthermike]

Actually, From ford-trucks.com

 

[greenaccord02]

I was doing some serious research about oil filters and this was one of my resources. I enjoyed the personalities of the people so much, I joined up.

Looking up gun oil.

 

[wavinwayne]

I googled "sweat pants + rock". The rest is history.

 

[opus1]

I think from dodgedakotas.com. Lots of debates about oil filters there, and someone probably posted a link to here.

Opus is the penguin from Bloom County cartoons. I'm not as liberal as he is, but otherwise we have a lot in common.

I think someone already had Opus so I added a "1".
