Coming up on FIVE years now - BPM&C Forum
« on: December 06, 2007, 03:55:39 PM »
It's soon to be 5 years that DD & I have enjoyed, learned, experienced and grown in the history, use and manufacture of Blackpowder Mortars and Cannons!

Thanks to Graybeard for his indulgence in starting and maintaining this forum; thanks to Matt for making it happen; thanks to our sponsors for both funding and participating in the many discussions!

Thanks to ALL of you for your participation - the encouragement, sharing your excitement, frustrations and experiences!

Not sure of the EXACT date - we'd have to go back to look for the first post; but DD & I both signed up in GBO in late December 2002 and BOTH asked Bill about creating the forum.  It's been fun!

     Three cheers for the moderators, Graybeard and Matt.  You guys have done an excellent job for five years now on this board.  It's our sincere hope that you all can celebrate more such anniversaries!

Best wishes,

Mike and Tracy
Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

From the poem  Screw-Guns  by Rudyard Kipling

The GBO Site celebrated its 10th anniversary this year and it's going stronger than ever. Don't see any reason there shouldn't be several more ahead.
