Been 2 great years for the Oznium Forum

On February 12th, 2003 the Oznium Forum was born and I have greatly enjoyed watching it grow over the past 2 years. I would like to thank all the members and moderators for making this place great as well as those of you who have purchased from the site.

Getting to know many of you personally has been wonderful. The Dells 2K4 show was by far the most fun I had the entire summer maybe even the whole year! There were just so many glowing cars, and so many neon crazed owners.

I've enjoyed talking to many of you on AIM as well as on the phone. I have also enjoyed reading your posts on the forum everyday and it continues to bring lots of joy to my life.

When Oznium first started LEDs were selling for as much as $5 each! Last year they went down to .99 cents each. Soon after that, they went to 49 cents, and blue now sells for only 34 cents! The blue LEDs being sold now are much brighter and have a better viewing angle than the LEDs sold 2 years ago so one can only imagine how much further the technology will progress in the upcoming months and years.

Cathode kits started at just under $20 each! And they were nowhere near as bright as the cathode kits sold today for $6.49 are.

As you can see, Oznium is committed to bringing high quality products to the market at incredible prices.

This past summer, the FlowLighting brand was introduced. The FlowLighting Blaze 7-color LED kit offers bright, crisp and true colors with a friendly control interface for a very good price. Sales of the Blaze kit have been very good over the past 6 months. There will be more FlowLighting products for the future so keep your eyes open for them.

While Oznium does some paid advertising, our strongest growth has been from word of mouth and I thank all of you for that! Oznium would not be where it is today without the support and dedication that many of you have shown to further not only the site but the products behind Oznium.

Our moderators on the forum have done a tremendous job making sure things go in a positive direction.

- DragonJeep is a top-notch photo shopper. He made the Oznium business card designs as well as some sweet banners that ran on CarDomain for a few weeks. And he has a sweet Jeep.

-Aken is a top-notch dork. He is short and to the point. He has done a great job with his own site and forum.

-Mav is experienced with moderating a very large forum and has brought quite a bit of knowledge and direction to Oznium. Every time he posts, he nearly writes an essay. I wish him the best of luck with his grandmother and his stressful working situation.

-02BlueStang recently became a mod because of a suggestion from another member. I did not expect him to do such a good job. I was pleasantly surprised. He has a wonderful ability to control situations with a positive attitude.

The past 2 years here have been great and I look forward to what the coming years have to offer.

Thank you for all your support.

Phil
Owner, Oznium.com

your welcome! may there be many years to come!

edit: No, Thank You Phil.

Yes we should thank you and the mods Phil. You didnt have to provide this forum for us but you have. You keep it civil and police it very well along with the mods.

So I would like to say thank you to you and the mods.

Even though I am new to the Site I can already tell that this place will be running long into the future and have many more anniversaries Phil....You have a professional demeanor and not only run the site better than others that are out there but you do so while making friendships along the way. I hope only the best for Oznium as well as for your success in any business ventures that you choose to do in the future....

I am honored to be a moderator on such a prestigous forum and part of a company that provides some of the best products in the market....

It was beutiful, lol. Thanks for you awsome costumer service and help with everything. I have to say, your customer service is probaly the best on the net, my mom was even like "Damn, there fast." lol.

Phil, when you are approved by mom, you have reached the peak and the ultimate goal when running a business

Aww, hell yea! lol.
Since I dont have a credit card, I just give the money to my mother and she orders it with her CC. When I ordered my Tron, I had her check her email to see if it was sent. I got it like 3 days earlier than suspected!!!

Thanks for making the best forum and the best place to buy car lighting products!

I want to thank Phil as well. He has been great to work with. He's one of the best business men I've ever worked with. He's very outgoing, very open to new idea's. This board didn't just come from him, but from everyone submitting their input, as he listens to what people want.

While I haven't had a whole lot of time in a while to be around here as much as I'd like, I must say that Phil has never let me down, and has always followed through with what he has said. I'm glad he trusted me enough to make me an admin, and I'm glad that I could be a part of his plan for Oznium. I hope in the future to be even more involved, and maybe (just maybe) I'll convince him to go into a business of some sorts with me. He'd be a very powerful ally to have in the business world.

Thanks Phil, for making this a great experience. =)

Yea, Phils customer support is great. Thanks for the transformer, and also reminding me on Amp size.

I havn't been banned yet...so it's all good. I don't know how I stumbled accorss the site, but I'm sure glad I did. You don't get any of this at any other store/site.

This is the by far the best forum that I go to, thanks Phil for everything.

Awesome past few years. I havent been on nearly as much ive been out enjoying the last few months i have with my friends for 13 years. But i love this place its and exile to many of us. A chance to meet some people that are as passionate about this hobby as I am myself. Ive loved getting to know some of the people here and getting the chance to participate in the testing of a new company. Dells by far was the highlight. I remember meeting Phil for the first time i didnt know what to say it was like meeting a celebrity. I look forward to meeting many more of you in person weather it be Dells or any other opotunity.

I love this place... try to visit everyday.. and its like a second hope to me. Thanks phil.. you know alot for not being very old... you know how to run a business, but also thank all you guys.

its the 12th now, just saying happy 2nd birthday... and phil great job on everything, keep up the great work, and your doing a great job as a business man.

great job phil...you have created a new higher standard for what a company should be......thank you!

One of the main reasons I like to come to this site is for the people too. I like reading the posts, no matter how crazy or weird they may be. I like seeing all the cars and other toys, friends, places we have or experience here on Oznium.com.

I also enjoy talking a lot of you on AIM or on PM. I never thought I would come to know people so closely with out actually talking to them. I know more about cars on OZ than friends cars that I ride in everyday its funny.

I appreciate all the help Oz members and Phil has given me over time. I learned a lot. I like the free gallery feature, the store is great too. Oznium.com is overall an awesome site.

I have had my share of problems on Oznium, nothing that can't be dealt with and Oz has taught me that different people have different views. Its not worth trying to converter or trying to convince someone.

A few times I was banned I swore I would never come back to OZ. But I found myself talking to all the members on AIM, and eventually being let back in.

Here’s to another great year on OZ. I hope to be here for the 3rd year anniversary & Flowlighting too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OZNIUM!!

You've done an excellent job on creating, building, and maintaining this site & business, Phil. You take care of your customers and offer great products, it's no wonder why this place is growing. Personally, I am thankful to have a place like Oznium to purchase lighting products from, refer people to and visit these forums. I'd also like to congratulate the staff of this website / forum for their efforts in making this a great place for others interested in glow.

Best of luck to ya, Phil.

L8R,

Yay me!

Great job Phil. Your products, from what I've seen so far, are wonderful, and you were very easy to deal with when I had some problems with ordering. The thanks goes all to you buddy.

I forgot that it has been 2 years now. I remember the days when i was posting every few minutes almost and was almost 500 post above everyone i think and now i'm not posting that much due to a lot of things going on now.

I'm still #2

Phil like everyone above said you have done a great job. From all the products you supply to your friendly demeanor with support.

I thank you and will continue to bring you more business.

Oz Rocks

Thank You.

Def. styl referrred me to here and since then i have ordered around 20 LED's if not more and he referred me like last month i think it was. GOOD JOB PHIL!

Im a little late because I have been so busy with work and I have a new wonderful girl in my life.

I would like to thank everyone in the forum for making this as much fun as its been. I have been here since July 20th 2003 and Ive had a blast with the people here. I wish I lived closer so some of you guys so I could come by and meet up. Oznium has been at the top of my favorite sites since I joined this forum. I had no lights in my Jeep when I first joined and I got a Plasmaglow Fusion kit. I think all of you know what my Jeep looks like now when it comes to lighting. Thats the influence this site has had on me.

I would like to thank Phil for the great customer service and friendship and thanks to all the other moderators for showing your support.

I look forward to spending many more years throwing money Phils way for more ICELED and goofing off with the rest of you guys and gals...

products/pricing is unbeatable, the forum is awesome, and free ice never hurts


thanks phil!
