Day you first joined
« on: February 13, 2023, 10:39:11 AM »
I just happened to check my stats. and found out that I first signed up 3 days ago 19 years ago.
A lot who were here then, especially on the religion thread are long gone one way or another.

This makes me feel old as in the early oughts I had money to burn and had a big fire going.
Its all ashes now. :(

I've been here since '97, I've long ago forgotten the date/month we set the site up. We went thru several iterations of it and have had to re-register more than once.

Some of you were likely here before the registration date showing for you due to the software changes in the early days that required at least twice for us to register again. I think the last one was in 2004 but I'd not bet the farm on it.

Can't say when I first joined (I think it was 9 or 10 years ago), but lost the password and couldn't remember how I spelled the name, so had to join again and that probably was after the change. Anyway, I've watching enjoyed some of what has been posted here and there as well. And, of course, some not so much as well. But that's generally the way life and "relationships" go. Been kind of quiet the last few weeks, course I missed a week while I was in the hospital with RSV so I don't know how that period went.

This is a good place to hang out mostly. gene_225

June '05 here.

At the split from Go2GBO, it took me a while to resettle here.  At first, I did not see the choice.  I was focused on fixing problems "over there", not paying attention perhaps, and in my "selective hearing", GBO Reloaded "wasn't selected".  Still, an to come, all things end good (turn of a phrase). 

I have always opined that in every thread made, in every reply posted, we leave a tiny part of ourselves here.

February 12th of '06 for me. I don't really remember but it has been quite a few years. That's one day before my wedding anniversary.

Sept. 27th of '06 for me. Few years I didn't make any posts, family and work interfered. Few of my friends I'd see here and at gun shows are gone. Little more time to come here and yak!!

Just about 14 years for me Feb. 21 2009. Time sure does fly by. Thought the perception of time would slow after I retired, but it seems to go faster.

Appears I first joined Jan 1, 2013 as Wolverine_1 and then lost name or access code and had to rejoin as Gene_225. Ah well...
