I can't say enough how much we all appreciated the old site. The owner started it from scratch and made it into a great site. I'm not sure what happened, but it spurred Sir Henry and me to create this site. Neither of us had the permissions needed to take it over, so we went our own way.

Yes sir, the old site was really growing and held a lot of history for the older members. Glad I got to spend some time there. You and SH did a great job giving it a restart and keeping it going. Maybe someday we will find out what happened.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to the two of you for bringing us a new Henry home.

Dave and I talked about buying the old site but we just couldn't get the owner to sell. When I joined it the forum was near death and I posted life into it. The major problem before Dave and I became mods was there was no one around to approve new members so it didn't grow. I'm glad to see most of the regular posters there are now here.

I can remember the first time you joined the old site.

One of the first things you said was "It's kind of quiet in here"!!

I believe I was the first to respond to you.

...the old days.

I remember saying that. At one time it was going strong from what I've heard but I think they closed new members out because of bots.

It was a nice site before it was spammed, attacked or whatever it was. The owner, Quietman, had to eliminate all the problems by hand. When he was done, he sent out a sitewide email. That's how I knew to come back. It took him a long time and most did not come back.

Anyone heard from Geoboy? I hope he finds us. He's one of the few I haven't seen yet.

I think daytime dave and I are dedicated to keeping this forum going. And JEBar is onboard to help us too.
