Trader Posted September 20, 2011 #1 Posted September 20, 2011 Hey Don, I signed up for the other site over a year ago and just tried to get on it...but my "membershp" has expired. Oh well....I like it here much better anyway. But I looked at the "history page" and they say..... Later in 1997 Don Nelson of Texas (at the time), in a unrelated effort, started a discussion forum based on the Yamaha Venture Royale he had just purchased. The two websites continued to grow independently throughout 1997 into early 1998. In 1998, Jeff Cranfill, of North Carolina, was visiting these two sites that he frequented, looking for information about his Venture Royale when he had an idea...why not join Bob's webpage and Don's forum into a central gathering place for Venture owners? He presented the idea to the gentlemen, who, after a little prodding, agreed to join and become VentureNet, The history never says anything about a split or mentions VR.org So what's the REAL history there? Inquiring minds (ok...nosy minds) want to know!
Freebird Posted September 20, 2011 #2 Posted September 20, 2011 Let's just say that it wasn't a good partnership.
playboy Posted September 20, 2011 #3 Posted September 20, 2011 I.m still new here but i tried to join after browsing around and all i got was a message that my url or something had been banned. Then i found VR.org and the rest is history an cheaper too.

Guest Posted September 21, 2011 #8 Posted September 21, 2011 Boy that's an ugly dog. C'mon over Joe...she says she wants to meet you....
Trader Posted September 21, 2011 Author #9 Posted September 21, 2011 Not meaning to dig up any skeletons....thier blurb just seems a bit misleading .....as if you are still associated on that site with them.
dynodon Posted September 21, 2011 #10 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm on both sites, this one is more active, I have been on some rides with both groups, and there are a LOT of people that are on both. They seem to live and let live. No need to wake up that ugly dog!
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted September 21, 2011 #11 Posted September 21, 2011 so.... back to the noisey minds ...... what is the other sire? just gotta know what I am missing out there :stickpoke: :stickpoke: :stickpoke:
friesman Posted September 21, 2011 #12 Posted September 21, 2011 I am on both sites as well and enjoy venturers and ventureriders, I have been on rides with both groups and can vouch that there are great people on both sites. Brian
