22 years on GB

Yesterday was 22 years on the forums and buying guns, from Gunbroker. Thinking back about all the names and faces on here. I also made some very good friends, that I still see from time to time. The great ones we lost, and the great ones still on here. The knowledge , the laughs, the crazy stories and memories. Glad I joined. Oakie.

I reckon it has been 10 years for me
I have enjoyed it also
David Nunn has been here the longest IIRC.
It's been 19 years since I found GunBroker.
I was on GB'ers for a long time before I even realized it had a forum, seems the forum info was way down at the bottom of the page and me trying not to being a bottom-feeder I completely missed it for years. 😊

Im on my 22 year also
Well sir- I do believe you have in fact watch me grow up on Gunbroker over that period of time.
I’m glad you are still showing up, wish it was a little more frequently.
I joined just before turning 21 to research which handgun to buy in 1999.
16 years for me.
14 years for me and has been a great experience from buying on GunBroker to the gained knowledge from the experts to the fun reading on the forum. Terrill

There are some old codgers hanging around here. They must be tough as a pine knot.
Old!! Heck! I still consider the year 2000 to be some kind of a sci-fi future event! 😁
Of course, I'm still lost in the 60's.
I feel like I'm a youngin' again! This year will be year 14 for me!
Mine says December of 2000, but before the Change I was listed as 01-01-01.
I was on the auction side before that.
October 1999 for me. I grew old on here. 😆
August 1999 for me I'm really old
Aug 2000 when I joined but followed for a year or two before signing on I was on another gun auction site for several years and on both for several years after and never had a issue buying or selling at the time I was a bit leery of GB so I just watched and read thru the forums
22 years and like most where did all that time go . lucky 😲the mirror reflects the lost time is the sad part
January, 2004 for me. The forums have been a nice little “constant” as I’ve moved 12 times across 9 different states.
Congrats Oakie !!!....I joined about 6 weeks after you. It has been a pleasure to read your posts all these years.
I have been here since 1999 when GB started selling ... just dont post much anymore .. says 2001 for forums
...Congrats on growing old!...
...I signed up a few months after Nunn did, 1997-1999(?) sometime back then, a really long time ago regardless...
...I talked about "bass fishing" so much on here I guess GB didnt want fishing talk mixed with gun talk, so GB started the Fishing Forum...
....My old computer died and bought a new one that the GB computer did not recognize, so I had to start from scratch with 0 posts, nada, and no forum privileges...I had a different username back then, "Ruger something"...the last several years I had gone by the username "Colt"...but as said, GB wont let me into that account, and I have no clue why...
...HeDog, Hairy, ZipperZap, Tazzer, Danceswithsheep, Doug Wilson (RIP), several old timers no longer around...how time flies...
Congrats Oakie. Glad you're still here.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
15 years for me. And the forums have definitely changed since then. Lots of people have passed away, been banned or just left. I think the rise of Facebook groups has facilitated a bit of this as they seem to be more active. But at the same time much more toxic.
I thought I had a valuable old sxs and found ask-the-experts forum 20 years ago.
Congratulations John on 22 years. I joined February of 99 also. We have seen a bunch over the years on here.
been while since I've been on. had to look see when I joined. its been 21 years, I guess
12 1/2 years for me. I remember when I first joined thinkin' that a guy with the handle 'Oakie' just had to be from somewhere in Oklahoma!
Nice to see you check in Cowdoc. Don't be such a stranger.
Great to see ya stop by, cowdoc.
