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.

Thankyou!

lol at "old guy"

And you're really not an "og" until been you've been "representing" a spot for 10 years.

I've also heard there's like a "bg" baby gangsta and heard that was 5 years of "repping" said spot

Don't know how real "bg" is though.

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

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

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.

**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.

same here

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

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

**BluesClues** · 10-23-2009, 01:31 PM

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.

You are not OG.

**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.

In a way, you're right. You can't have Joe Blow sign up in 2002 and have 3 posts and then sign back on in 2009 and someone say, that's OG Joe Blow. And likewise you can't have Jack Sprat sign on in 2008 and have 10,000 posts and be known as OG Jack Sprat.

So really it's longevity AND contribution. There really isn't a lot of us around anymore. I know I'm the most active OG of IA. There are quite a few that claim they are OG that really aren't. Most are close though, lolol. Later, QD.

I can be OG too right

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.

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

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.

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

**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)

Where that chick go w/ that bad arse Supra back in the day? That was one fast Supra.

LOL at ImportLounge... didnt IA and IL go at it for awhile on which one was the better site?

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.

**TSiFTW** · 10-23-2009, 07:09 PM

I don't call anyone OG in the import/sport compact scene unless they can tell me where the original Nopi shows were held and what the big meets were back when this shit got started. Cause obviously if you don't know those answers you don't know the local history of the scene. You are OG if you can school someone on the history of the LOCAL scene, not the scene in general that anyone can read in magazines. You had to be doin this shit long before the first F&F. Just my opinion.

Just my opinion.

Even if I didn't know about the Big Chicken Meets or the Toys R Us meets that followed over in Duluth or know about the NOPI shows held at Lakewood, I think, with all the photos I've posted of not only other cars in the scene back then (and by back then, I'm talking all the way back to the 80s), I've posted many pics of myself in that scene. So I don't need anyone's permission or ok to be known as OG. I've earned it more than probably 97% of the people on this site.

Lolol. Later, QD.
