doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com i'm a 2 decader, who else is?

well, it has now been 2 decades. i got my first computer in march of '97. an eltronical dude from work came over and set everything up for me. the very first night i had her up and running, i did a search for foz shotguns.

one of the links i clicked brought me to this site. it was the original bbs form. i read and read and read from a long time before i even posted. just like when we switched to the current form of forum, i could have hand an uber-low user registration number, but i usually just read and usually only post when i have a question. did not register on the new board until i needed help with something.

anyway, have ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING IDEA (!!!) how many hours i have spent reading this board. additionally, i have gotten to know many board members, both through just strictly email and phone, but also in person. breaking bread at their kitchen tables, enjoying a libation or four, hanging out in their shops, and sleeping in their guest bedrooms.i would have never even known these people existed were it not for this board.

for these reasons, i am a contributing member every year. i encourage everyone who spends a fair amount of time enjoying this site to give dave some cash every year. he has helped us, and we should held in in return.

so who else is in the 2 Decade Club? who has been on this board over 20 years now? only people who were on the board from march '97 and before.

I am not a 2 decader but am a contrib member
Here is how

I built my first really useful computer (1987) (after the Timex Sinclar and the Commodore 64) but did get my Master's Degree using the C^$

Hi mark..Happy Anniversary,:)
I got on this new site in '01, but was on the old board for a couple or few years...though I don't know how to find that out..So I can't prove it
But I would say I might well qualify .
I have also spend many hours on this site...If it ever it wasn't here, It would be a real loss to me...I feel very comfortable here,
like an old friend
best to you

As to the old site, I wonder if they still have an archive?

I started here in 1997 as well...Geo

I did a search for Paul Scholberg of Liege and found the old site in 1995.

I'm close, the new board required you to re-up on or about 12/31/2001, I'm guessing I was around some years before that as I first got on the internet about 1996 and this was one of the first places I haunted.

I don't know how long I've been around ........ but I pay my way, too. 15 years since I reregistered, maybe that's all, dunno.

SRH

1996 for me, when I got my first computer. A Mac G4.

Added memory a few times, and still use it to surf and email.

It is coming up lame, here and there, but, still works. I often post photos for guys that aren't up to speed just yet on the process.

Anyone else still using a computer of that vintage? My bet is no.

I don't remember my original number, but, I think I am 238 after the reset.

Best,
Ted

I belonged way back then.....maybe Teddy Roosevelt was President? Can't remember. #69 on the new board dated 12/31/2001. I also wish there was a way to access the earliest posts.
