Thank you Hanford!

I was addicted to TC in those early days, the posts came in fast and furious...there was a lot to read and learn.

It was frustrating that we lost all the early photos when the original picture host site disappeared, but great when you committed that you wouldn't let that happen again and began hosting pics directly on TC.

Back in 2008 my engineer personality kicked in and I plotted a timeline of tiki history, its fun to look back at now. You can see Otto's Tiki News releases, Tiki Oasis and Hukilau events, etc. However, the interesting data is the TC information, I was tracking how many General Tiki posts were posting every day (blue line data). At TC's highest point (around March 2003) 160 posts per day were showing up in General Tiki. That slowed to about 50 per day in December 2005. To put that all in perspective, yesterday (January 8, 2020) there were 2 posts and there hadn't been any posts for the previous three days. Times have changed.

Tiki Central was and remains a unique and invaluable archive of information and I'm happy to have been part of it since 2002.
