Welcome to the club, boss.I'm getting old.
I'm getting old.
Still my go to after all these years. Now I feel old.
I remember my first post on here and got thrashed by someone... You needed some thick skin then. lol
Was it Scrivener? LOL
Cheers to 15 years NES. I've met a lot of good people, bought/sold/traded a lot of guns, and had a lot of good laughs from this site.
LOL.. it was. The post was about North Andover PD requesting a letter. The post lived me since.
huh! wondered who censored the board and made posts disappear instantly...it was you herr grant. papers please!IMO the reason this board has survived and prospered(in the past maybe decade) is due to the moderation of DrGrant.
I've been here since November of 2005 (Member number 460).It's been pretty slow on the board so I'm surprised we missed it!!!
Congrats on 15 years!

Obviously not taking away from the behind the scenes shit that Derek does, but the day to day ops and moderating without silencing has kept people around..Moderators can, and do, drive people away from message boards.
So Mike, this buds for you
I probably did invite you over to here. No, MAF List was strictly a list-server on World.std.com run by Dick Lunn.May of 2005 here. #206 I think it was Len who sent me the invite.
Before that, anyone remember....

I don't know why, but the hat still sits on the shelf over the gun safe.
Honestly, I always thought NES started before 2005. I just recall using the internet before the 1998 Chapter 180. Must have been on the Mass Firearms mailing list. Could have sworn it was on some kind of forum software, but can't recall what.
