Questions about the origins of GTAM..

[Amin]

Hey guys,

Im stuck doing a marketing brief for one of my classes, so I figure I may as well do it on something I love; Motorcycles

Im discussing this site; more specifically the implementation of the site. Ive already sent in a question to the site owner, but in case I dont get a response in time, does anyone know:

-How/Why the site was initially created?
-What kind of marketing was originally done to attract members? (If nothing, why not?)
-What is used now? (If nothing, why not?)

Those are the only parts I am unclear about. I appreciate all the input

Not sure about that stuff Paul would know best.

But for those curious I found this:

Wow, thanks. The site has sure come a long way.

Also, I forgot to mention... does anyone know if there is a gtamotorcyle.com presence in any of the bike shows or whatnot?

I vaguely remember a banner on the old GTA site that said something like, "For the rest of us." That should give a hint as to the origins.

We as members volunteer for RIDE FOR SIGHT and often wear the gtamotorcycle.com clothing that is sold by cutekill. She can also give you some info on the site and it's history.
