3 years

[John_Findlay]

Just noticed that I've been a member of the Forum exactly 3 years today.

I just went online to google an answer to a rules query and ended up lumbered wi' you lot. Note to self. Must be more careful on t'internet. You never know where it'll lead you, looking at strange websites.

At least you've got us.

We got you.

I found a lot worse looking for Great Tits once. Think yourself lucky you found the forum.

My 3 year anniversary will be 9th of March.

Any idea who the longest server is who is still posting?

 

[John_Findlay]

Had a quick look, Murph, and after MikeH (obviously) it looks like Marko77. Don't see much of the ones registered in 2006 any more. I miss Furyk-or-Unique. One of the funniest posters ever. Comic genius.

3 years eh. You must be due parole, how long was the sentence again.

I'm just over 2 year but I'll be thrown out before you for bad behaviour.

Well done John for sticking with it. You are right about Furyk or Unique, some quality witticisms i.e. the Travis Perkins post.

Got until 6th August before I can rack up three years. I think I must have missed Furyk-or-Unique but he does sound an interesting guy

Go to the user list, look him up under F then click on posts made and you'll see what he had to say.

Ah Birdieman, the Travis Perkins post. A classic. He was good at that sort of thing. Often had me tearless with laughter.

For those who didn't see it;-

Happy anniversary John. My, how the years have flown by.
It doesn't seem 3 years ago since I was chatting to a random stranger in interweb about having played Carnoustie and wondering what his real name was, never mind meeting them and playing several rounds of golf together.
I've been looking back at some of the posts from yesteryear and noticed that the forum has changed a lot since the early years. I'm not saying it's better or worse. Just different. It was certainly a lot easier to keep track of topics and people back then. It seemed back then that there was only about a dozen or so posters compared to the hundreds there are now.
