Just curious about the origin. A friend of mine told me of this site 10 years ago or more and I have been checking in almost daily since

It was a brain child of Al gore… and I’m being cereal here.

Refugees from a failing board many moons ago.

Que the boomers with their member number, lowest number wins extra ice cream.

Silly, post counts are all that matter!

Gotdammit !!


BTW.....My original membership was 2006.

'
Must have wanted a forum where all the conspiracy theorists could gather and exchange ideas.
Unmoderated !

shooters...

It’s a business. It was started to earn income.

There aren’t enough news outlets in the world. Rick created this for use as a repository for news. A bunch of gun nut dickholes came along and ruined it.

Que?

dot coms were all the rage about 20 years ago. Some made, and some didn't.

Cue / Que

It's for our Canadian friends...?

IDFK !

Most of the original members here were refugees from Shooters.com.
Rickster kindled the fire about that time.

Other than RickyBobby and Sysops, the oldest, still active poster appears to be Waders.

You guys are all short timers.
Kids.
Buy um books send um to school.
Come back retards....

Well however it was created thank you I enjoy myself here

Did you mean suppository?

Because 24 Hour Bicycle... is GAF... and failed miserably.

Show me where this freedom of speech touched you. Puzzy

I really appreciate everything RickBin has accomplished here at the fire

And the peanut gallery.
Nice goin' peanut.

LOL

Newbee

I signed on right after Rick created

we must beware. if three members here ever actually agree on anything, critical mass may shut down teh site.

woops

254 ahead of me

All the good ones left.

I rectum.

Yeppers... My handle back then was Bart185 and it was here til Rick allowed Les(Violator22) and I name changes.

I thought he'd lost a bet....

I don't think it'll last long.

I suspect Rick heard a voice from God! Not build an ark, but start a forum and “ They” will come !!! But Rick probably did not realize he’d be shoveling so much [bleep].

24th Anniversary already, gents ...

How time flies.

Yet here you are

Thanks again to the Chief Cat-Herder!

This is by far the most entertaining, informational, and also irritating outdoor forum on the net. I don't know when it started but hope it never ends!

Hunting conversations weren't worth anything. But aha, le browser characterizes you, the consoomer and pays for each, then selling it off. Thus, we are gifted a forum for my-cartridge-is-bigger-than-yours, poofta theads, etc. Sponsors helped keep thing appearing "normal" and less intrusive. Nothing is free, remember that, remember that when you type on a "free" forum.

I think alcohol was Involved. It escalated quickly afterwards.

Thank you.

Occurred to me that your kids are grown up.

Waders joined 10/25/2000 and is member number #24 - I joined 10/31/2000 and am member #30, so my friend Waders gets the ice cream.

Wow! You only beat me by 6 1/2 years…

Before signing in here I had been spending a lot of time/energy with one of the very early members - he came on sometime in early 2000 - and he told me a lot of stuff about the place. Some interesting stories and events back then Finally, I took his advice and stepped in. It has been a very good place.

That is a great recap...

"Self Policing" vs. Mods... is utter genius.

Same way America got her start.

Worst thing I ever found.

If I had my pay for every hour put in here,
the 401 might have an extra digit!

Best place ever. Legend.

Been here since August of 2002. DR. Ken Howell suggested that I move here after hunters campfire started blowing up. miles

Congratulations on an enjoyable site. I appreciate it. You've done well.
