farnz Posted September 20, 2020 Share #23 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, stunsworth said: I think that was when the forum software changed and the dates were reset. I could be wrong though - it’s a long time ago <grin>. I think you're right. I joined the original forum in 2002 but my joining date was reset to 2006 somewhere along the way but that's hardly important to me. Perhaps this is an opportune moment to remember some of the members who no longer frequent the forum (disappearance through change of forum name notwithstanding). I'll start with the following in no particular order and where there's † beside the name it indicates that they are sadly deceased: k_g_wolf† George James† Falstaff† Lars Berguist† John A Stovall† Rickp13† Pico† Nicole† Businessasusual† William Palank† Janna Stein† Elansprint Bill Imants/Stnami William Lamb Pascal Meheut Dante Stella Big Louis Nick De Marco Azzo Roguewave NB23 vdb - Virgil diBiasi Barjohn Vicvic Tim Ashley Pauledell jsrockit Jamie Roberts MrEd (from Jersey - changed his name from Big something) Yanidel Algrove Edited September 20, 2020 by farnz 7 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted September 20, 2020 Share #24 Posted September 20, 2020 Congratulations and thanks. A hugely useful educational resource and, as others have said, now so much more than 'just' a Forum. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted September 20, 2020 Share #25 Posted September 20, 2020 Congratulations! I can say without hesitation that this is the best forum (in terms of enjoyment and info) I frequent. Thanks to moderators and members. I have to check when I joined. I had DLux-5, then I was looking for FF Leica Info And joined this forum. I blame this forum for getting me back to shooting film. 😊 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted September 20, 2020 Share #31 Posted September 20, 2020 To the Forum and Andreas, Happy Birthday, and thank you for 'being there'. I joined around the same time as Andy and Pete, and others. I don't know what the year was, but initially I went under my full real name. Currently I use the shortened version of my middle (Swedish) name, the reason no longer matters. My journey with the Forum has enriched my life beyond measure. I was shown the real benefits of using Leica (of which I have far too many!), but above all it was probably the elevation to Moderator, for which I was not truly qualified, but that responsibility gradually controlled my somewhat fiery tendency by forcing me to weigh both sides of issues. As a result, I have been the greatest beneficiary of the appointment and will now always be prepared to admit my own faults, well nearly always 😁. To the membership at large, thank you for your fabulous input on just about everything imaginable. Such a clever bunch. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraf Posted September 21, 2020 Share #32 Posted September 21, 2020 Happy birthday to the Forum! I’ve been loitering here since Oct 2002. I’ve learned a lot, have met some great people and made some good friends through various meetings and events, and above all enjoyed it all. Well done Andreas! Long may it continue. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
