The post on that forum is from 2007, but I think that the interview is from 2006.
Back then, the only available information about the Axe-FX was one user review at HugeRacksInc and that interview.
That review was so positive that I thought that it could have been made by a friend of the manufacturer. But I was still curious, so I created the first Axe-FX forum on the internet, to attract the attention of real users and get more opinions. Cliff soon joined the forum and was a very active member (I also gave him administrator & moderator powers).
A couple of weeks later I was already convinced. At that time I was living in Spain and they were not accepting international orders. G66 was not yet born, so I trusted a forum user to send him the money, purchase the Axe-FX, and send it to me from the USA. That was the first Axe-FX in Europe.
When FAS created the official forum I closed that one. Unfortunately, in 2015 the web provider disappeared without notice and all the good old memories were gone.
Most of the moderators that you can see today at the official forum are the ones that I trusted to be moderators at that original forum.

Damn dude, mad props for putting all that together back in the early days. Sucks that everything was lost. Those have to be some great memories. Very cool!
