...but I met you in person Rob before I met you online. It took a while to "connect the dots", but I got it straight eventually. These discussion boards have given me a number of cherished friendships over the last 20 years. Thank you JT!

My real name ain't Boge either! (reply)

Boge Quinn — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 17:22:24 +0000

But that's been my moniker since I was ten years old.

Maybe around 1999 for me (reply)

Creeker — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 15:22:48 +0000

I'd say you're correct. I was still at Dry Creek in the new house I finished in 1996. I began internet somewhere around 98 if memory serves.

Seems like I accidentally found the board. Cant remember which one. Then I run into Creeker (LAH) at a gun show in Beckley WV and I've been visiting the board since. Don't post as much as I should but do enjoy reading and everyone seems like an old friend for sure.

Over 20 years... (reply)

First post was during the Earp.com days.

I remember some "interesting" threads over the years and more than a few ups and downs in life.

My appreciation for the AR15 and 5.56mm 20 years ago was the basis for conversations that became more than a bit "opinionated".

Cheers,

Byron

I probably should make up a new handle, since I no longer live in Catoosa County GA and haven't for some time. But, that's where my family settled in the 1830s and I have used that one so long everyone knows it by now. Gordon Sewell Caruthers is just too dang long to type anyhow.

I feel so privileged to be a member of this board and to have made the acquaintance of so many of you. Aside from being a source of vast knowledge of one of my favorite subjects, this board has allowed me to meet, both electronically and face to face, some of the finest folks in the world.

I started hanging out on Jim Taylors old board, late last century or early this one. I remember being excited about a
gathering in Athens until I figured out it was Texas, not Ga. i finally made it to the one Nim had in Missouri.
I believe I’ve only missed one since then. I’ve been blessed by knowing you guys (and ladies), some of the finest folks
I have ever met. I thank you one and all, for allowing me to hang out.
I seldom post, but, I lurk here a lot. Very few days that I don’t check here at least once.
See you in Arkansas in April.

Creeker — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 04:18:40 +0000

Not sure when I came on??? It was long enough ago I was using Web-TV my daughters gave me. I met CAS first & he tutored me on how to do things such as copy & paste. Next I met Jim Taylor & Uncowboy & so on. So it was before 2000.

I was LAH on the old board, Lynn Alan Halstead. Because of Dry Creek Bullet Works I began using Creeker in serveral places. I do like this layout of this board. No sub forms. You just post & respond. Good place.

I did and it did... (reply)

pokynojoe — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 02:28:35 +0000

although you'll have to be around in 2162, that's when it opened. It got rave reviews. I got sort of famous. Then I went broke, but again, that's a story for another time.

All my shooting friends call me --> (reply)

In real life that is. ;)

It has been twenty years, holy smokes.

I remember, and I agree with everything you said. I even remember you saying "There's another rob here!?!" It's been fun growing with you guys. I did my share of chest thumping and acting like a know it all in the early years but as I've started working on humility, I the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I know lol!

Old, maybe but beloved...Ah, Rob. Yer jes' sayin' that! (reply)

Caz — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 18:50:38 +0000

A lot of history "here" (reply)

BCodd — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 16:36:05 +0000

I can't recall when I joined up, but it must have been around the turn of the century or so, on the olden sixgunner board. I hope somebody still has the various midi songs... they used to make my heart skip a beat as I logged onto the various sites over the years, those open to all, the (shhhh) secret ones, and the various pages, current and defunct.

Through the various iterations of this group, through the comings and goings, through the laughter, the advice, ALL of the lies, and especially through some of the darkest days of our lives, I've always considered this group a band of brothers. Many of you have become true friends, and the rest of you I hope to break bread with down the line.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found some of my most beloved sixguns, I wouldn't stand in awe of the ominous death-ray, nor be aware of the BGA, of the sublime beauty of the No.1 International, the rest stop holster, the onion sack, nor the tannerite method of clearing a holler, banjo anecdotes, or the real history of gun control.

My hat is off to Jim, John, Paco, Terry, Lee, and on and on, gentlemen who stand alongside us but urge us to be better/smarter/craftier than the fools.

I remember those who have gone before us, young and old, and that damn list keeps growing, to my dismay.

Twenty years ago I was a snot-nosed punk living behind the golden curtain and I didn't know doodly-squat. Now I'm older, fatter, and grouchier, and I still don't know doodly-squat. Some help you all are!

E Sisk — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 09:37:34 +0000

I too started with JT's board. I have joined and parted ways with at least twenty or so gun forums over the past two decades. This is the one true forum as far as I am concerned. Gentlemen all, with the knowledge of experience not fantasy. I count myself lucky to be included.

I don't think it has been quite 20 years for me... (reply)

Dennis Eugene — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 06:29:19 +0000

Not quite 20 for
me either, but darn close, I am still amazed that all you fine gentlemen accept me. Dennis Eugene

Hobie — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 04:33:33 +0000

But I knew many of you over on Paco's Leverguns forum and got invited to visit here as well.

This is the most responses I've seen to a post here in a looooooooong time.

HAHAHAHA! (reply)

Rob Leahy — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:17:11 +0000

Goodun!

and it is always a pleasure to run into you in person (reply)

Rob Leahy — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:15:47 +0000

I miss the Wasilla High Gun show.

Old, maybe but beloved by many... (reply)

Rob Leahy — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 22:14:54 +0000

World class men for sure. Been here a while myself. (reply)

Jimmy P. — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:06:29 +0000

Maybe a while and a half or two whiles.

I don't post as much as I have in years past, mostly because I came to the realization there are quite a few here that are far more knowledgeable than I. But I watch.

I've met some good folks here and made some great friends. Some that I hold as dear as family.
