I been on this forum since nearly the beginning 20 years plus!

I only have 2500 posts on the recent build. I feel I am so far behind the other old timers LOL

Don't seem like 20 plus years.

Your right DC, where have the years gone. Been member since the first site, then rejoined again in 2007, Had the pleasure of meeting the original owner many times back in 91 thru 96 (Charles) ate several meals around campfires cooking fish etc., at conventions. Had the pleasure of picking his brain for wised up beaver, have used that knowledge for 30 plus years. Got several old 35mm pics of those times in my scrap book

Dad never owned Trapperman. It was born because of him, but it was born after he passed.

I found this site around ‘98 or so. Back in the day of the old chat room. It was back in the dialup internet days. I can still hear that sound it made when connecting.

My mistake about owning site. But I will always remember him thru the conventions, and having the pleasure of conversations, about trapping

I cannot remember the date or decade when I joined. It was the first site in the infant days of the internet. Yep, remember the dialup tone all to well.
