Glad to see the site picking up

[FastDemonr1]

Damn, this site is picking up AND FAST! I am really impressed with the trend I am seeing, we have A LOT more active members now than I have ever seen.... Breaking the users online record almost daily.... says we got 22 today, I think it was only like 12 users a month or so a go.... So what I am saying is.... GOOD JOB JERRY AND ALL THE USER PROMOTERS/ ADMINS!

Thank you but I cant take all the appreciating...

Gotta give a shout out to each of my boys who have made this all possible:
Richie: Richie payed up front for Vbulliten, has busted ass on the site, and took care of the sticker deal.
Josh: He has been doing all the coding and designing of the new site. Without him the transfer would not be complete. He has done way more then anyone can see.
Jared: Although not in AZ has helped in the transfer with all the permissions of the site.

Without the help of these guys the site would not be where it is today. We do all we can for you guys and we will continue to. Everytime Richie and I see the most users on at once get larger we always talk about it. It was just a little over a year ago that I began talking to Jared about starting Devil Riders (before i even got my bike). We talked about it for a long time and finally in july we purchased the domain name and the hosting. I never imagined it to be this big but it was our ultimate goal. I couldn't ask for a better group of Executives or better members in the club. You guys and gals make the club what it is. We setup the events but you all show up to them and make them successful.

We will keep making more changes to help the club grow and to make it better. If you ever have any suggestions please let us know. Keep spreading the word and lets see it grow.

With the weather getting warmer we have plenty more events to come. For now we have a 1/4 track day friday, a club ride on thursday, a Bikini Biker wash and BBQ on march 3rd, a pool and BBQ day coming up that is being planned, planning for the motogp race day events,
and more. As it gets even warmer we will venture north to Prescott and Jerome and more. Just stay with us and watch it all grow! You wont be disappointed.

Oh and just to let everyone know, I turn 22 on April 9th. So plan to keep Saturday April 7th open as we will have a full day of events in celebration! Early morning TTF run? Mid day Bikini wash? maybe BBQ and pool during/after, and VIP at some club in Scottsdale or Club Cherry in Tempe. Its going to be big and fun so keep the day open!!!

Thank you to all the Execs and all the members for making Devil Riders what it is today!

Just out of curiosity, who is funding the domain and everything?? You guys aren't paying out of pocket are you?

Domain and hosting was paid by me. No i dont expect to be repaid for it. It is well worth it. One of the best investments i have made, sure i may not see money back on it but what i have seen back is priceless. Seeing people happy is all i ask for.

And just so you all know, this site will never require membership dues. That was my main goal starting this, we would not resort to having the members pay. It will be a free and open club to the public.

Well, Jerry, just a suggestion, add like $1 to a T-shirt order, that should make a differance. and I am SURE people wouldn't mine chippin the dime if they knew what it was for.

We did add on like $1 more. The extra $5 for each first shirt goes towards that and the price to do the artwork. I designed it all but it had to be converted and because the complexity and size it wasnt cheap. We just barely broke even with the second order. Any money that the site makes will go right back into it. It will never see anyones pockets. We will get enough to run the site and at the same time keep everything as cheap as we can for the members... like $1 stickers. We could charge $2 but I figure $1 is fine as more people will buy them and we will advertise more and save the members some money.

Reading this post made me even more excited about this club lol. I appreciate everything you guys have done to make this club successful. Not only do I meet other members who enjoy the same hobby, but I have also made many new friends :)

I'd be willing to donate some to help with costs etc. I mean $5 dollars a member isn't really that much to ask. No reason for you and rich to come up with everything up front.

[Blue Devil]

Soon enough we will have a donate button that will accept paypal for those who want to donate. Just one of the features that is soon to come

i agree, i appreciate being able to be a part of this, even though you guys don't know me that well yet, but i'm sure the best is yet to come. i am always ready and willing to donate time and or money for a good cause. just say the word, and i'm there!!:worship

I have to say that this club has surpassed pretty much anything Jerry and I thought we would have done by this point. When we first really started to get everything in place back in May and June we were just looking for 10 people to get enough names for the ASU Application. Now we have events with over 40 bikes.

The growth in the last 2-3 months alone is staggering and even the last few weeks. I was looking at the statistics on posts, threads, bandwidth, unique viewers, etc and almost everything is double or even triple what it was back in October and November (December was slow from vacation/weather). I think there were more posts in the 1st two weeks this month than all of October.

it's kinda crazy. Thanks to everybody for making the club the sucess it has become.
