Kind of hard to believe it's been that long. When I joined, I only thought I knew about casting boolits. I discovered I knew some, but wasn't anywhere near the endless lessons to be learned here.

After some reading, I found myself in the chatroom. Boy what a crew! 45nut, rugerman1, waksupi, and a few others that slip my mind at the moment, but that was 17 years ago! I have to say, there isn't a gun related site on the internet with a finer bunch of guy's & gal's to be associated with.

May God bless each of you in the new year.

Think of all the time we've wasted in chat! Well, not wasted, always educational. I'm not sure how long I've been here, but I think I'm member #7.

How does one tell what number member they are? I am not anywhere near the top, just curious as to how you know that.

ddeck22,
Not sure how you would go about it with a smart phone, but if you're on a PC, just hover the mouse above your name and look down at the info displayed in the lower left hand corner of your screen. It should say:
https://castboolits.gunloads.com/member.php?59408-ddeck22
You are number 59408...

And Murph, I'm not far behind you. My 17th anniversary is coming up in May.

Thank you, now I see it in the URL! Appreciate it.

Not too far behind you. I joined 6-23-2005. I guess that makes us old Board geezers :)
If I read it right,. I was #619 to join.
I owe this board the depth and love of my hobby and the enormous amount I have learned.

My profile says that I joined in 2007 but I can’t remember how I found out about the site!
It has truly been an educational and expensive journey!
I thankfully have been able to acquire items that I lost in Hurricane Katrina and learned more about swaging and powder coating!

I think if you learned about just one thing, like powder coating. here that new found knowledge was well worth the exorbitant price of admission.:cbpour:

You are #206.
This reminds me of the status of having a low license plate number here in NH. :)
How low can you go?

My 17th is in May. How do I find out my number? I've learned a lot here. I usually come here for advice/info for all things gun/shooting. Have always found someone that knows the answers to my questions. Great bunch of guys. I've been here long enough and learned enough that I have occasionally been of help too! (I hope)

You are #1576. If you hover over your name in a message, you will see a bunch of numbers and letters in the lower left hand corner of your screen. That number is your member number.

Well, I think half of the participants may have been wasted! It was a good beer drinking activity!

That makes me almost 17.
Seems like it was just yesterday I found this place.
Getting so old.

Definitely the best site on the internet and the only one I spend time on.

Wow, I am 4231 and just had a 16th anniversary last month. I did take a sabbatical while I was playing with motorcycles for about several years but I still came back and read.
I always believed this place is what pushed powder coating boolits into what it is today.

I come here daily, have told others about it, never regretted a visit. So much to benefit from! I came here from Shooters or whatever the previous site was.

If you weren't imbibing it probably was wasted. Good times. learned a lot.

Those were the days for sure. I had more fun in that old chatroom than any other I can recall. That original crew was a hoot, and a wealth of knowledge at the same time. Yep, I do miss the ole' place.

I remember one evening I mentioned hemorrhoids, and some guy threw a fit. No idea why. He wouldn't let it rest. Ken banned him then and there. Probably the only person who ever got banned from the board while in chat.
