Wow, some things just don't change at all. In my oldest post that I can find on this version of the forum, I told somebody "Get over it and don't be so thin skinned."

The join and post dates don't make sense, I think what happened is that every time Ed made a major change to the board the dates and posts got hinkey.

I also have a bunch of posts from the majordomo list and the Yahoo groups archived away on a hard drive, my posting name was the same as my first one on the "new" ARFcom board.

I started posting here in the tech forums to learn about ARs. Then one day I discovered GD. It has all been downhill from there.

I can't find it because apparently you can't search by poster username anymore. I found post 4, me asking for help on what I now remember as a pretty simple problem with a friends AR and reloads, but at the time caused me quite a bit of grief. I'm pretty sure my first post was in the WI HTF introduction thread though.

I lurked the Afrcom NFA forums for like forever trying to find info on how things were defined in the US to gain some inpiration for over here.

Then one day I though I would check out what the average US gun owner talks about, I expected it to be lame as fuck like Dutch forums but it turned out to be be the most informative and entertaining thing on the planet .

My first post I think was a reaction to DAVE_A sating something insanly wrong/Stupid/untrue about the Netherlands

IIRC, it was in the maintenance section.

Although I swear I asked a question before 2004 when there was that old "board" AR 15.com had.

But Staff told me a few years ago..........."nope, first post was back in March, '04".

Huh?

Threads from back then don't show post counts but it looks like this was your first post.

http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/11807_AK-brake-v--flash-hider-or-preban-worth-it?

Quoted:
I'm looking for some knowledgeable advice. I have a Bushy Shorty AK and am debating shelling out twice the money I paid for it to get a preban... just so I can have a flash hider. I am very limited on funds and this will be a major expense if I do it. I have heard stories about how terrible the AK brake is in group shooting and at night. In your honest opinion (IYHO?), for a rifle whose purpose is for minuteman or emergency tactical use, is it justified to pay what's necessary for a flash hider? Is it such an essential part of the rifle system to not do without it? Please tell me yes or no, and (most importantly) WHY. I value the opinions of those on this board. Thank you for your assistance. The W Man

My local paper has an article saying that gun makers "are now going to roll out high powered assault rifles like the AR-15." The article stated that AR-15s were banned entirely. Where do they get their info?

Was there a site back around 2000 that had a similar name to "AR15.com" and/or had a VERY similar content, etc.?

I ask because I SWEAR I was on this site before 2004 asking about building AR's or getting parts, etc.

But Staff looked for me once and said the was "nothing before March, 2004".

found post 5 but that was as far back as my search Fu could find.

There was something early on like that. That's where I learned that my A2 was best to run dry. Like rub a little oil on the rails. I've since come to my senses. Pretty sure it wasn't ArfCom.

Thanks, that is probably the first post I have with, what we can search, based on my join date.

I think there were 2 server crashes in the year before that.

I had decided to buy an AR in January 2000 to get back into Highpower.

I joined for the research.

And no, I don't remember my first post. I did lurk here for a few years before I joined and it was probably a tech post about a black gun related question that someone helped me with.

My search Fu on ARFCOM is pretty bad so thanks for the pointers!

I remember some of my early posts were blasting LEO's because so many police chiefs wanted the Ban Sunset overturned back then.
