Memory fails me.....when did the board begin? I just remember it was a long time ago.

I could almost swear that I have been involved with Dave Webber's board(s) regardless of the name or format since around 19193 or 4. Is that possible? I know this was the very first bulletin board I had ever subscribed to and I did so after getting back into double guns with a Uggie Model 30 that I bought from Dale Dalrympal well before the injury he sustained in a fall that he took. I know it was in the 90's, just not sure which year. Dave Webber, do you have any historical records??

I found the answer to my question right here on the BBS in Dave’s “Welcome” page.
“.doublegunshop.com has been on-line since June 1995. We started as gunshop.com and changed domain names 10/27/06.”
I wish there was a quick link to all the early posts before the change. There was a lot of great information posted and a bunch of great people. And they were civil.

Thanks Joe. I guess my memory was not so far off after all!! I agree with your comments regarding civility. Yes, their were certainly some differing opinions, but nothing like the garbage spewed out by some who are now on this board. But, Dave has given us the Ignore capability and I am presently using it for three who post here. It seems that two of them have gotten worse in the past year or so but just still hang on to show others what jerks they really are!! Glad to see that Dave shut down the most recent attack on Drew.

Always used to make me laugh to read the friendly ribbing between AmarilloMike and his shooting student, Joe Wood.

Hard to believe it has been that long but I was a member of the "old" board. Grateful that I was able to visit Bill Wise and his lovely bride, Rosa Lee, I THINK. He had just finished writing "Indian Giver" and printed out a copy for me and signed it. I later sent him a pair of preserved feet (in meat salt with their claws open) from a road killed Barred Owl to add to his collection of talismans. A most civil and informative board back then. Damn, I must be getting old!

This is rich! How can you know about so-called attacks made by guys you claim to be IGNORING? Dishonesty is not civility.
