[steelersfan97]

coming up or has it already passed?

[Rifletom]

Hmm, not sure myself. Steelers fan myself when I watched. #58, my ALL time favorite. Lambert's Lunatics! That dude was nails!

[Cofisher]

Won’t swear to it, but I think it’s the 26th. Good for us!

[RetiredSeabee]

Coming up pretty quick. Who is bringing the cake. And should we have 5 candles? Or one for each member?

[Vaquero]

March 20th, would've been my mother's 85th Birthday .
I believe I was the 11th, or 12th member to sign up.

in my mind this forum opened for business on Sun Mar 20, 2016 10:27 pm .... that is when Dave became our first member .... I joined a bit later on Sun Mar 20, 2016 10:58 pm

Yes Jim is the winner. Good answer, Good answer.
Believe there was a dozen of us on that first evein'.
Seems the earlier one had a short circuit of some sort.

I well remember that gremlins were at work that first day .... when the forum went down it really concerned several of us who experienced the sudden demise of the first Henry forum .... no clue when you keyed in your application but the forum's software credits it as being Mon Mar 21, 2016 12:56 am

Jim under my avatat it states 11:56 pm. So depends on est vs cst.
Yeah it was and then it was gone.

Tho, I don't even remember what I was doing 5 yrs ago. Hate that I missed the initial startup, but have 1 yr under my belt now,
and enjoyed every minute.
From what I've read from time to time, it was a bit rough in the beginning, a bump or two in the road, but you guys/gals did a
good job keeping it together.
Congratulations folks, & thank you.

I'm glad everyone likes it here. That's what we wanted.

I found Daves' thread, " Five years and still going strong. A short history " to be very interesting! Check it out.

I have been a plank holder in a couple of forums, one was a kayak fishing forum. It too was like a family, and Miss T and I were heavily involved. Miss T coordinated the fly tying sub-forum, and ran monthly on line contests. It was a great place to be until the membership really grew exponentially, and the mods couldn't keep up. The owner started choosing mods who volunteered rather than those with the proper attitude, and ... Well... You know. We found other things to do.

Here, there are rules.
They are evenly enforced.
The mods and the members cooperate.
It's family.
Glad to be here.
I follow a simple rules, if I wonder if may be I shouldn't post it.
I don't. If I find I'm angry about something. I don't post. Keeps it civil.
I want to stay around.

Thanks to all. Look forward to a long relationship.

I had just joined the first one when it crashed. Think I did it.

[Travlin]

I used to go to the old forum just to read about the rifles of H.R.A. When it started to get shall I say "intermittent " and finally was replaced with this wonderful place, I decided it was time to get involved.

[DAVIDF]

[Vaquero]

Happy Anniversary, DavidF, would've be my Mother's BD also.
