Happy 9th. Looking forward to 10!

Wooooo Whooooo!!! Party up in here haha

Happy birthday o-r! A special thanks to Dann and the other creepy guys behind the scenes that make this place run smoothly. The review has remained a pretty amazing place to celebrate this little passion of ours.

I can still remember the excitement of finding the review for the first time, and feel blessed to have such a community of friends to share the hobby.

Keep up the good work guys. The O-review was my first and still number one source for everything O, thanks for the effort!

I heard the 10th is going to be a blowout at Dann's bunker, and he is going to give away a lot of his prized possessions.

Happy Birthday O-Review... so glad we met!

Happy Birthday O-review.

thanks again Dann for all your hard work!

Happy birthday to my best time consumer website ^_^

Happy Birthday OR!! All the best to those that keep this awesome site alive...

Happy B-Day OR!!!!!

I honestly thought it was the 23rd. Guess my recent changes to the site aren't going to be ready. Ah well.

Thanks everyone who still hangs on. Oakley's going through some odd times right now, but I'm looking forward to the future. I think the site has built a stronger community even outside of sunglasses. Hoping to have some good things planned for year 10, so stay tuned.

THX Dann for your work, and Happy Birthday O-REVIEW !

Still the only place to go for Oakley!

Well done Dann, glad to be part of it :)

happy B-Day O-review!

many thanks to Dann the man :)

Happy Bday O-Review! Many thx to Dann and the gang for making this site to what it is and go on for many many more to come!

Happy Anniversary O-Review!!! Thanks to Dann for all you hard work. I'm sure this place consumes a lot of time and effort and I appreciate it. I've met a lot of cool people with a similar passion here. I hope we can have some kind of meet-up for the 10th anniversary or a FCP reunion! Thanks again and long live the O-Review!!!

A very happy BDay to O-Review! Super thanks to everyone that maintains this place, it's definitely the reason I went from Oakley fan to Oakely addict, haha.

Thanks, Dann and gang, for truly keeping Oakley together, ironically, coz the company itself actually doesn't!!!
Go figure, but thanks.

Happy Birthday OR

As a new forum member but long time lurker (around 5 years at a guess at least) I would like to say a second thank you from the silent majority that find this resource and community a beacon of hope in an increasingly dark and scary world of fakes and dupers.

I would guess that there are at least ten times as many lurkers who keep quiet or dont sign up, alot of whom will have saved themselves from buying something they shouldnt. I dont know if Oakley ever officially thank you or sponsor you but they damn well should, just for the public service you have served !!

If nothing else you got my thanks and those of the rest of us who do talk on here. Be a worse world without all involved with the Review.

Thanks.

Appreciate it James. I'm always happy when long time viewers sign up. I've tried to keep adding to the site and make it worthwhile. Aside from the database and information aspects, I'd hope things like the collection tracker and live chat keep things fresh with the community. I'm toying with some other new ideas, but I'm always open to suggestions.

The work is much appreciated. There needs to be a place for the very senior collectors that hold advance knowledge, and the OR accommodates that very well and better than any other site. Thanks for making that happen.

One of the things I like best is the freedom of speech and thought.

I am a member of plenty of sites that are brand loyal or focussed on a sport or topic, and too many times they are either downright dictatorial about snipping out any negativity towards the thing the site is about and banning users for that negativity, or they moderate and lean ever more heavily in that direction, often because of an initial reaction to some influx of new users who may not totally agree with the old guard and are then shunned by those senior users and hence the slow downward spiral into shutting themselves off - the 300zx club in the UK was a perfect example of that, for a car with a list of faults and better competitors as long as your arm !!!

So a place like this with original users, even the man who made the brand in the first places for petes sake !! and all of whom have been welcoming and positive and encouraging towards new members such as myself who may not always agree that all things O are perfect but have a passion for their preferred segment none the less.

You try saying that the latest car isnt much good on Ferrari chat unless you are in the vintage forums !! lol

J.

I think some of that is due in part to the old guard agreeing that that latest offerings aren't holding a candle to the old stuff. When the site started, things like Scar, Stretchline, New Zeros, were all brand new, so the 'old days' were classic Zeros and Jackets. Now we have a few eras where Oakley shined in each person's mind. I see the Splice and Eye Jacket 3 being called vintage, and feel really old.

But I'm glad the site doesn't have to moderation heavy. Even for legit reasons. I don't even know who the mods are anymore as there hasn't been a need in years.

You mean there are people out there that know about the EJ 3.0? Shocking! lol

The models no one wanted when they were released, are the ones people suddenly start wanting.
