Timeline: (This is far from a complete list, there were and are lots of regional and side groups: SW Birds, NW Birds, Birds of a Feather, Lone Star Birds, etc.)

Prior to 2000: Harvey Lawrence, et al, create the Vintage Birds Forum. Harvey was also a technical contributor for the FMCA magazine.

Around 2000: BlueBird Corp founded the Family of Friends Wanderlodge FMCA Chapter.

1/2000: yahoo:groups:Wanderlodge started by Ernie Ekberg and Bruce Morris.

3/2005: yahoo:groups:Wanderlodge ends in disagreement spawning two forums:

3/2005: (1) yahoo:groups:WanderlodgeForum started by Ernie Ekberg, Mike Bulriss, Ralph Fullenwider, and Ron Marabito, and

3/2005: (2) Wanderlodge Owners Online, the pay-to-play site started by Bruce Morris.

6/2005: yahoo:groups:Wanderlodge re-birthed by Randy Dupree, et al, using the name of Ernie's original forum, and splitting membership from yahoo:groups:WanderlodgeForum. This is the yahoo:groups version of WOG.

12/2007: WanderlodgeOwnersGroup, WOG, the vBulletin site created by Randy, et al. yahoo:groups:Wanderlodge is closed and membership is funneled into this forum.

5/2009: Ernie exits from yahoo:groups:WanderlodgeForum giving it to: Mike Bulriss, Ralph Fullenwider, and Ron Marabito.

12/2010: WOG displays the BuyByeBlueBird Banner Ad going mainstream with its BBBB brokerage business making WOG the first and only commercial business oriented Wanderlodge forum.

12/2012: Wanderlodge Owners Online (WOO), goes off the air.

2/2013: Wanderlodge Gurus, WaGu, created by David Brady, et al. David senses the need to fill the void left by WOO and to offer a traditional non-commercial Wanderlodge forum.

5/2013: Mike Bulriss and David Brady agree to merge Wanderlodge Gurus with yahoo:groups:WanderlodgeForum. Synergy in philosophies leads to this move; thereby, shrinking the number of Wanderlodge forums back to two, WaGu and WOG - first time since 2005.
