3 years!

Hard to believe it but just 3 short years ago a few of us were discussing a new forum. It went live on March 5, 2015. We wanted a place to openly share information free from political and other discussions that can quickly take over a forum. I don't think any of us ever imagined what those ideas would become.

Oh how things grown in those 3 years. Thank you to those involved in the original discussions- Ian, Rick, and 358156HP. Ben was on board pretty quick and was a natural as a mod. My baby bro Kevin made it all happen and without his tech support none of this would be possible.

Thank you those who have joined us since then. You guys make the forum what it is today. You make it very easy to be a moderator, we have very few reported posts. A finer group of gentlemen I couldn't imagine.

Again, thank you. Who knows what the next year will bring.

I hope it brings reasonable growth, increased recognition and respect among the online community, and more great projects, observations, questions, and answers. Nice to find a place w/o politics, backbiting, and depressing negativity toward anything new or different. A great site and the only "social media" I ever plan to be involved with.

Good job guys!

Well, if it weren't for you and Kevin we'd still be where we were. Thanks for taking the plunge for all of us.

I only watch three forums, this one, the CBA, and Antique Reloading Tools. This one first in the morning, and the last one at night. Thanks guys for a great ride with all of you.

Time flies when your having fun. Geez it is three years already.

I asked Glen if he would like to be a moderator and he asked me what he would have to do. I told him on this forum . . . Nothing! We do have a great group of people here and Brad has done a phenomenal job of keeping out spammers and trouble makers. No doubt, if your gonna be a forum moderator this is the place to do it.

Thanks Brad & Kevin, you really are appreciated.

Keep up the good work Brad! I honestly don't know why I bother with the "other" site anymore.

Congratulations and thank you all! I’ve been casting for a long time but I can honestly say that hanging out here and paying attention with an open mind has made me a better caster and hand loader. Not to mention picking up a few tips on long range handgunning. Here’s to many more years!

Wow; I just looked back to see when I was allowed to join, and it was the middle of 2015. I was surprised, I would have bet it was last year. I consider this site my primary go to site for great info and good friends. Yes friends; I don't know any of you personally, but I feel like I do.
Thanks for a wonderful online experience.
