What I have pieced together over my years here is that it was founded by
JT in 2002.
Rkwei and Brucelee took over administration of the forum around 2004.

There was a
lawsuit in 2011 regarding copyright infringement. Defending the lawsuit was expensive and troublesome, revealing the liability they were exposed to by running the forum.
Wayne Dempsey (Founder of Pelican Parts) took ownership of the forum in 2011.

Pelican Parts along with the forum was sold to
Bertram Capitol under
Enthusiast Auto Holdings.

Cortec Group
acquired EAH in early 2020 and I think that they are the current owner of the forum under the Pelican Parts Brand.
This forum, having been founded as an independent enthusiast entity was probably best left separate and in it's original form from the other Pelican Brand forums.
That's all my best guess anyway.
