Almost 18 years on this forum...

Sit back down at the camp fire, pour some smooth bourbon, light a cigar and stay awhile.

Yep, it's been a minute since I joined. My favorite gun forum, knife forum and friends forum.

Got the fire (our annual Shoot'n'Hoot gathering in Central Washington, started by all THR members) -- been doin' it since 2004. Got the cigars, can't depict the bourbon (Jefferson's Reserve okay?) without censure, and we sure got the guns...Been over 18 years here as well. Good talks, good times, good stories.




And this is where some PNW THR guys meet up:

20 years for me this month. Amazing. Still my favorite forum.

I believe I joined in 04 or 06, not sure which. My stats page said I joined in 13. But I was here long before my retirement in 07. Maybe before I bought my house in 02. Long before the shake up that is ancient history.

@Tinman357 - your 17th Anniversary is this week on Monday! I should know since my 17th was a few months ago.

Excellent THR news, @Ridgerunner665 . Bravo. Good for you!
Wow…your post was a reminder it has similarly been a long time for me, too.

Babies being born when you first joined this forum, are now old enough to buy their own guns!

2 years here! great place to hangout and talk with like minded people from all walks of life

consider being a Contributing member people, nothing is free in life

First Florida Fruckus at Manatee Gun & Archery.
Actually the only one the thread has been locked

That’s a long time. Only 13 for me. I’ll take mine neat. But have a preference for older scotch. Met more than a few members here face to face. Might be your way in March. Going to visit Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville. My favorite forum to find information about anything firearms related.

14 for me.

Twelve years for me but I have always been a late starter

Twenty years ago last week. Came here during the "Troubles" on TFL back in the day.

Relative newcomer at only 14 years.

It was a great site then, and is still a great site now.

I lurked here for a couple years as a non member. Then became a member back in like 2012 as Glockguy or some such similar name, logged off, forgot password and login info and was away for a spell and then came back as DustyGmt in 2016. I have spent around a decade or shade beyond using the forum in one way or another.

One of the reasons was because when I was starting out and using the internet to plug in questions or searching for info about guns, alot of the searches brought me to threads on this forum (google is good for something) and I really enjoyed the discussions and members seemed to know their stuff without alot of the puffy chest guys and other nonsense...

Congrats on almost two decades of participation here Ridgerunner

I have found forums like this to be extremely helpful in my various hobbies over the years. Home Theater, Photography, and Woodworking mainly. I've only been here a couple of years and have learned a lot. But if not for THR, I probably wouldn't be much into reloading like I am.

Much to my co-worker's delight, I was also into candy, cakes, and pie baking a bit before I discovered online forums.

You guys have been here a while. Its only been 11 for me. I could join in with the Bourbon and the Campfire but I'll pass on the Cigar. I love the smell but I never learned to smoke.
Happy New Year Everyone
