What exactly is...

**Ms Dollar** · 10-23-2009, 01:08 PM

Okay so what qualifies someone on here as an OG, and what does it stand for? I have been around since about...2003ish and I have no clue what it really means. I have a general idea, but not 100% sure. Can someone please help me out with this?

(Note: If you have any intentions of coming in here and saying something dumb please turn around and leave. Thanks)

**Stormhammer** · 10-23-2009, 01:09 PM

Old Guy

as in an original member, was around back in the day etc

**Ziptied** · 10-23-2009, 01:09 PM

Original Gangster is what it REALLY stands for. Meaning someone from back in the day who's been around ever since.

Doesn't mean anything. Just ignorant elitism. And I've been here longer ('02) than most self-proclaimed "OGs"

**Ms Dollar** · 10-23-2009, 01:10 PM

So then how long would someone have to be around to be considered an OG? Is it a status that you achieve after having been here for a certain period of time, or is it more along the lines of you joined at a certain time and you are still here.

Am I an OG?

Of this site probably, but a true OG is over 30 and knows how the import scene started cause we helped and were there in the days when it began.

I'm glad you mentioned "self-proclaimed" OG's. If I just start calling myself, for example, an OG does that make me one?

I know it doesn't really mean anything just curious about it because I hear/see it every now and then.

On, this site, yes you can make yourself out to be whatever the hell you want to be. Shit, you could probably even come on here saying you invented VTEC and have 300 devoted followers before 5 o'clock

**Vteckidd** · 10-23-2009, 01:23 PM

you are OG maam

**Greddypacked** · 10-23-2009, 01:27 PM

ya OG=Original Gangsta. LOL I registered on this site in like Feb. 2002 but when the servers crashed my join date went buck wild.

**On_Her_Face** · 10-23-2009, 01:28 PM

I think OG qualifications here is before the "great crash".

Damn I have been wondering these same damn questions!!!!
So that makes me an OG too? NO one answered how long do you have to be on the site to called one? And I don't the the 30 and older thing is true here because I've seen just random people calling other members OGs and I know they aren't over 30.

**BABY J** · 10-23-2009, 01:33 PM

It's 2 fold. It's part longevity - and it's part what you offer to the site... your "presence" or "status". Some people have been here since 1972 and are still noobs - LOL. Some haven't been here very long at all yet still have "clout" and status b/c of what they bring to the table. It gets tricky. It has nothing to do w/ how old you are - it just so happens that us 30 and older guys were driving and in the scene when a lot of the newer people weren't even driving when the SpoCom scene was being developed on the streets.

I like that answer...hmmm so many different ways to look at it.

if you remember the days of unique creations, P.I., x-rated, etc... AND remember when the godfather customs shows were actually worth going to, then you can claim OG status IMO. but the REAL og's were here back in '01. i got on here summer of '02, but i still claim OG since i've been here so damn long.

same here

Collins was the b20 integra your OG mobile? LOL.

**40th GT** · 10-23-2009, 01:44 PM

IDK, to make it simple, 'original gangsta' status can be attained through:

Post count of 10,000 and higher
Must be a member for more than 4 years.

As for 'post quality,' the member longevity and post count all go hand in hand b/c if you've made 10,000+ posts of shit, you would have been banned, or have never made it to that point.

**BABY J** · 10-23-2009, 01:47 PM

You don't have to ask if you're an OG.

An OG is just an OG. It's like when you see Chuck Norris walk into Starbucks... you know for a FACT that he can whoop your fucking ass even if you don't know who Chuck Norris is.

10k does not make you OG, look at Sammich, he has 50k plus and only about 6 are worth a damn.

**40th GT** · 10-23-2009, 01:49 PM

lol

Somehow I just can't see Chuck Norris walking into a Starbucks...

i disagree with this post.

**Vteckidd** · 10-23-2009, 01:54 PM

Im prob on the line of OG. I joined in 02 or 03, i was on importsouth first before i found importatlanta. I was on SIatlanta too, aka importlounge.com.

I went to a few shows by the ice rink up in alpharetta whatever that was called. I had just moved here so i didnt know many people. I remember the yellow civic with the hood that opened up like a pantry lol Btlfed worked at Knowledge Performance, Kat was in Honda Tuning with that RSX/CIvic si hybrid. I leghumped Shawna when she first joined, along with Tiff o bitties.

way way way back in the day (IE 5-6 years ago)

**BluesClues** · 10-23-2009, 01:54 PM

So many different answers, so many views. Too confusing. I'm just gonna claim OG status because I said I can! WHAT!

Lots of love for Sammich in here lol.

**Vteckidd** · 10-23-2009, 01:58 PM

I think there was a core group of people that started this site, sorry if i miss a few

Justin bad apple
Pablo
Julio
Alex Carascoppa
Tiffany
Josh Nixon
Lauren K
Kat
Chris aka Btlfed
Paul
Kate
QD
Chuckster
Mrs. Dollar
Krissy
Casey
Kalie aka Phatback

The whole Team Fuct crew whoever im missing from them. I know theres a lot more, but there was like 20-30 people that seemed to be pretty close knit, and the rest of us kinda just fell in around them. Now times change and people move on, but thats what i remember as the "hey day" of IA

The red supra driven by the blonde? Last I saw she posted pics of her odo at 111,111.

Yes they did. IL is dead and I never liked it, even while I was getting hated on in my first thread.
