Here's an interesting read:

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/sitehistory.php

Although this history seems to have been forgotten in 2011.

I once saw a list of the top 500 worldwide web sites. Thesamba was on it! Within that list, it was the top automotive enthusiast site.
Everett, do you know what the ranking is now?

Ooops, stop updating it in 2011 although I'm not sure if there have been any huge changes except for obviously it's larger now.

I have no idea on the rankings as I've never looked for that online.
