It’s MVS Moderator Month !
Because I’m so organized, I forgot that AUGUST is traditionally MVS Moderator Month. So here we are at the end of August and it occurs to me that the gentlemen who keep this place running have been forgotten. Mea culpa, team.
So September will be MVSMM. See this MVS Volvo Forum post for more.

Bonus! THE MVS BEGINNINGS
MatthewsVolvoSite Turned Eight back in the Fall. I found one of the first MVS pages as it existed on October 7, 2002 via the Wayback Machine. MVS’s humble beginnings. There was a cache of the home page from January of that year, but Wayback Machine seems to have dropped it.
Until tonight, I’d forgotten just exactly when I started this site. Oops. True story. The domain matthewsvolvosite.com is easy to date using a “whois” search (5 September 2002), the phpBB-powered forum birth is easy to date by looking at the forum administration panel (14 September 2002 10:03 am), but the site actually started before, at the address http://evenfive.com/volvo. Of course to be indexed into Archive.org a page has to be up for at least a few months, so the real birthday is some time in mid-2001. For historical reasons the birth of MVS is 14 September 2001, one year before I started the MVS Volvo forum itself.
