Quoted: My first post here was like "are girls allowed"? Coached on that by a friend who was a long time poster. I had SO much fun that night, and never told anybody I was breastfeeding a cranky, almost 3 month old infant that night. That one is graduating high school in a few months. View Quote @4xDawn Remember that dinner in DTLV with Bedhead and E22Capt? That picturewas hilarious. I don't know what happened to BH and E22..... |

Quoted: SGTAR15's posable figure shows were epic. I was sad that SteyrAUG got banned, he and his white tile floor. Who was the guy that slapped together a new AR every week or so for a while and posed them on a shitty striped blue couch? MarkM. I still say "these things happen" to this day. Didn't he start 87? View Quote MarkM is the only banned member that I actually miss. Froot! |

I miss RBAD and TBK1, Rich and Mike were good people.
The AZ crew and our get together shoots were great times, NSFJojo and the CAV crew attended. The German news crew shoot in Casa Grande was awesome. . There used to be a YouTube video of the German news story with lots of us in it. |

We should have a bracketed tournament of all the infamous banned members from over the years. Let the current membership vote one round at a time and the final winner gets to come back. Sort of like “Survivor” but in reverse.

I remember all the satirical pakastani bro accounts and the whole paki tape fad.

Some good memories brought back here in this thread. And a few I could have skipped, too.

Is it possible to find posts by username anymore? Id love to reread the ronman threads lol

Another member (2003 joint date) was my best friend and roommate at the time. JosephR/SuicideHZ. He posted a lot in tech and on the other site. He had his demons and after an ugly divorce took his own life back in 2011. He's the one that got me to join up here. He was pretty "in the know" when Larue paid for that one member's court/attorney fees when the member was getting sued by a certain suppressor company.

Quoted: I built my first AR using FALARAK's step-by-step instructions tacked in the build forum back around 2005. I wonder how long that thread's been gone View Quote @82ND-ABN https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Assemble-your-own-LOWER-UPPER-FREE-FLOAT-TRIGGER-GAS-BLOCK-Step-by-step-instructions-/4-226782/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I had some good conversations with donne3, Persephone, and SP1Grl, among others. Some I stayed in touch with on Facebook, until I canceled my account there. (One year ago today). |

Quoted: One of two warnings I believe I have on my account are because of this. I posted a picture hotlinked elsewhere before I learned the dangers of doing so. Went to work for the day and when I checked on the thread that night holy hell had broken loose, my posted was edited by a mod, there were 870 "WHAT THE FUCK BRO" posts and a warning waiting for me in my inbox. That's when I learned that hotlinking pics was a dangerous mistress. It's funny now but I about shit then. The other warning was someone posted a incomprehensible, classic frontier gibberish world salad opening post to a thread. The first few replies were sorta along the lines of "what are you talking about bro". I responded with a picture along the lines of "I don't give a shit" or something. Turns out, the OP was a poorly written but topical commentary on the wellbeing of the spouse of a member who had recently passed. I wasn't aware of the member, his passing or what the fuck the OP was talking about but I felt like a total ass about it. I'm more careful with picture replies now..... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Another guy who posted a bunch of image links from a website and the webmaster noticed and changed all the images to a giant picture of a Black tranny hung like a fireplace log with huge fake boobs and the caption "I like to steal bandwidth from other sites".

I think a great many of us started in Tech before finally venturing into GD, which is why I'm always innately suspicious of new accounts that are obvious retreads. |

I miss the survival forum hiking trips.
Came home from the last one, and I had an email waiting for me from the local U.S. Marshall's office (IIRC) near where the event occurred. "Welcome to town". |

I didn't read this whole thread. I had an old account, and took my time re-registering after the switch.
Gourami Fire on a plane The Herbie Curbie debacle That dude that posted with GI Joe Dolls all the time C*ckpocalypse thread Kenmac pissing off the HOA The 9/11/01 thread was ahead of anything on the news. I don't post much, but I'm here all the time. |

Quoted: I enjoyed the fighting, particularly with Garandman and Zaphod. Epic threads too. On the good end there were Ryan's Steakhouse and the 'back rub' threads.The back rub thread is much lesser known. Some poster started a thread where somewhere in the body he said something like: "We were hanging around giving each other back rubs like guys typically do". It exploded from there. On the bad side,, there was Lordtraders thread of: "A plane just flew into the World Trade Center" IMO, that's when arfcom became a live news outlet for many. View Quote That was a rough day. I've never seen a thread move so fast. I reread it a few years back and it made me sick Other things I remember Napoleon Tannerite The I Am Legend bathtub picture thread Lord Trader |

Oh man, 20 years seem such a long time ago and just a blink of an eye all at the same time.
In my early years, I spent more time on Glocktalk than GD, so I barely remember just some of the hilarity here. ETA: ARFCOM 101 thread |

I'm on my phone right now so I don't have access to the funny pics of me, 4xDawn, Mojo, Ilikelegs, et al, at Lord Trader's apartment in Dallas for a PPV fight. I lost a bet so 4xDawn wrote on my forehead and posted it in GD. Dang, I miss those days with my friends.

Can we talk about how creepy grown men encouraging another grown man to play with and pose action figures and taking photos of it was?
Especially when Barbie got involved. |
