Twenty years!!

I am kind of amazed (and just a little bit disturbed) to discover that I joined AF

20 YEARS AGO!



Good to see that there are still recent posts from people who people who have been here longer than me!

I suppose I should post a build or something....

Re: Twenty years!!

I support your 20 years anniversary post.

I think the traffic is so much lower now that we get other social networking means to share the hobby (Facebook, Instagrams, et ), but I know AF still has many cool members!

Re: Twenty years!!

I agree it is a shame that AF is not quite what it was, but I am certainly glad it still exists! I have not been posting as much as I want recently due to life "stuff", but I still visit regularly. Fingers-crossed I will contributing again soon.

I think I may be longer than 20 years already.....

Kinda nuts isn't it. It's like a time machine, back into the happier times on this planet.

Re: Twenty years!!

Some names in here! I'm about a month away from 20 years myself. I miss this place... but it's my fault, it seems to still be active, no?

I wouldn't say all your fault.
But we all make the forum what it is, like we always have. Having cool old people around is cool.

Yeah, kinda is, isn't it? I really miss the community here.

I just heard from gionc. Soon as we get his log in sorted, seems he'll be around also.

Re: Twenty years!!

Congrats on 20 years. I am almost there myself. This place was like a second home to me but nowadays I just visit. Once I started my new job a long time ago and with side projects, I just can't find the time to get back to a kit. This really is a great place.

Re: Twenty years!!

It's my own fault to miss it - because I'm not coming. I'm going to try and start making visiting this page part of my routine again. It's frustrating that everything is on social media instead of a place like this, which is so much more of a community. So I'll be the change I want to see in the world and see what happens.

I just ordered some wheels from Geronimo Works, which is why I decided to come looking here. My wife asked what was in the box, and I showed her, and then I said, "I still have his very first wheelset from... almost 20 years ago... still in the box... on the shelf... so I bought more?" Boy did I lose steam getting that sentence out!

I'm currently living overseas from my regular home so I won't be posting WIPs and finished for a while (plus, I'll have to figure out how to host pictures? is that what ultimately made this place inaccessible?) but I thoroughly intend to try and be more active once I get back to the bench

(Sidenote, I remember doing :whatever: in text messages before emoji came out, what a weird artifact of vBulletin!)

Congratulations. 19 years for me. Yes, it is good to see some of the people I met early on still here.
I've tried to post consistently. Even resurrected an old thread today as I try to finish it...

Re: Twenty years!!

Congratulations. I'll be the same in three months.
It's been so long since I've been here.
Although loading errors are still frequent and the inconvenience of registering photos is limited.
I hope your wonderful works continue.
