Founding Members

[PT7]

I was away from the Forum most of July, but glad I "found" this Founding Members thread. I'm now doing the "ketchup" reading routine to see what I've been missing on this best of all Forums!

I'm a Founding Member, and came along from the now-defunct previous forum site. Very glad that DD and Sir Henry rescued the Forum, gathered Henry folk back together, and good to see how the Forum has grown into a friendly and informative Henry rifle site. It's also been enjoyable to share about many interesting non-rifle topics/activities with such enthusiastic people.

It's the go-to internet Forum for me! Glad to be here.

I recall the old forum...The day I signed up it crashed and never recovered....DD said it wasn't me but I dunno....I always hold my breath when I log in.

Dang!! RR, we are going to have to watch you.

Well, Sir Henry, considering when you originally posted this and when I am responding, I guess I am not a regular anymore, but can I still keep my designation? LOL.

Work and family responsibilities have severly limited my time for posting, reading, and shooting. Like anything else, these things go in cycles and at some point things will ease up. Either I will get all these projects finished or I will finally just retire, but one way or another, things will change.

Until then, I occasionlly do a "drive by" and it is always good to see some old familiar names and some new ones. That tells me this is still a healthy forum.

Stay safe and healthy everyone.

I'm glad you were able to find the time to post this WhiteSquirrel. I know what you mean about changing responsibilities and commitments. It's nice to know that many still stop by and take a look.

We'll keep the light on. Stop back when you can. Sit a spell and tell us what you are up to friend.

I think I am a founding father as well but don't post much. I am also on another Henry forum, plus a bunch of gun forums. But I still check in every day, in fact I stay checked in. At 80 yrs old I sometimes forget what I wanted to post, and worse part I forget how to post.

[daytime dave]

ArmyScout, I'm glad you come by when you do.

What is the other Henry Forum? I haven't surfed the net as much as I used to. I go to three forums daily and a few others when I get time.

So it all started March 2016...and already past 1,000 members. Pretty cool.

This is such a nice, civil forum. I am glad you all let us Johnnie-Come-Lately types join up!

I didn't post much for about six months.

I did come across other Henry forums (do not recall what they were). But, this one seemed to consist of something worth well. Meaning, it consist of good and knowledge people.

Thanks!!!

[JEBar]

there are several firearms related forums out there that have some space allotted for discussions of Henry rifles ..... this is the only current forum I know of with its core dedicated to Henry rifles

[The Wiz]

I am new to forums in general. The only ones I frequented be for this was tropical fish. The most heated those forums get is fish stocking, water chemistry and why our fish are dying
I looked in on a Ruger forum and OMG. They had section for political discussion that was down right nasty. People saying hurrah for our side, etc. Not listening to each other. Brrrr.
This place is like walking though a forest, coming to a glade. There are people sitting around a fire, talking, laughing. They greet you as a long lost friend coming home. Give you a cup of joe and your home.
I kinda got poetically there. Curse of being a writer in a previous universe. But thanks for creating this Fortress of peace, common sense and friendship.

Wiz, the only problem here is that Henry makes really good stuff, and even when there is an occasionally problem, they fix it really fast. So, we sometimes run out of things to complain about.

p.s. Sir Henry did a range report recently which failed to feature any coffee. That was pretty controversial.

Can't get away with anything anymore.

WIZ, Very nice analogy. I've been on an Isuzu forum for many years. It also has a rep for being kind and mellow. A few reasons for this. 1st is one goal. To keep our old junk on the road and trails with each others help. Many of us know each other in the real world from trail rides, camping, and wrenching together.

But we also have a campfire code someone came up with years ago. A good forum is like a campfire. Sit back enjoy the warmth. Be aware we are all human. Everyone will sooner or later say something that didn't come out quite right or may have offended someone. Get over it and move on. It's Ok to disagree but no personal attacks. Very few folks have ever been banned. The only reason this has happened is personal attacks. it's just not tolerated. Like the campfire always remember it's a family place and the kids may be listening. Speak accordingly.

Camping: its all fun until someone loses a weiner.
