Twenty years!!

[MPWR]

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....

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!

[MPWR]

Yay, I'm not the only one!!

AF is not quite what it once was, but it still goes on.

[Robi J]

I'm supporting your anniversary post, too.
Nice to hear from you both...

Excellent guys!!

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.

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.

Whoa! same

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.

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...

Congratulations. I'll be the same in three months.
It's been so long since I've been here.

I hope your wonderful works continue.
