13 years....

Well, friends, today marks the 13th Anniversary for The GTA Source Page. What a stretch it has been, let me tell you. From a lowly personal GeoCities page, this enterprise evolved into what most people think is the best GTA-related site on the Internet.

For that, I thank all of you. You the owners and enthusiasts are responsible for this website's success much more than I am. After all, I just address your concerns, questions, etc. when you ask. But believe me.... I am very appreciative that you still ask.

Thank you for your attention, your participation, and most of all your friendship in this hobby of ours. It take all of us to make it what it is and will continue to be.

Warmest regards to all of you....

Re: 13 years....

Congrats, Frankie. Your website recently helped by buy an authentic GTA.

And just an hour ago I couldn't figue out how to get the headrest out, but someone on your site posted the dimensions for a tool to remove it. I irreversibly modified a kitchen spatula when nobody was looking.

Great site. Thanks.

Who would think otherwise? As said by many, Congrats! Your website played a huge role when I bought my GTA a few days ago...in July 1999.

Re: 13 years....

I have tried several times to join that site, but it says my membership needs to be "approved" and then I never hear anything back. This was a year or two ago, but I gave up.

Wow. That long already? I remember reading your page for quite awhile when I was a teenager and I had first gotten my bird. Very cool the site is still around.

80s, we have a new registration system over there now with a full-time webmaster. Please try to register again, and I apologize for all the trouble you encountered while trying to do so before.
