Oooh a bump!
I think it was around 2000-2001 and I was browsing sites such as SCCC, Goose's Realm of Insanity, Westcoaster, and Beary Tales. Found TPR thru Westcoaster around the same time period. So I've been following the site for years now but only recently became a member. A thing I like about TPR, like Westcoaster, is that the photo captions in updates are funny unlike other coaster sites where they just plainly tell you what is seen.
