Could it possibly be FTF 10th anniversary?

Recommended Posts

Just navigating around and saw Will as the first membr in 03. I imagine there have been many site upgrades so it may just reflect a certain time of an upgrade to he forum. I guess I have nothing better to do. Too much coffee late in the day.

Nope not just an upgrade, that is actually the year FTF started if memory serves correct. I believe it was around July of 03. I came on sometime around September of 03 and was around member # 77 or 78 or something like that. Not very many of us original members around anymore it seems. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. I'm feeling old just thinking about it.

Sitting over here, shutting up about age, Steve. But I was remiss on another thread, about appropriate postings. Thank you for all the work you put into keeping this site friendly and easy to navigate. Ten years ... whew !!!

I came on sometime in 04. I am kind of on and off due to work and travel. Back then if you ever wanted to get in a swap you had about a day. Now, you need to be on your game.

 

Good to hear from you again.

Congrats to you guys for making the FTF the world's best fly tying resource! I showed up here a week or two behind Mike - there were only a couple hundred members at the time as I recall. The first thing that struck me was the quality of the work that FTF members were doing. I remember being STUNNED by the stuff that guys like Ron Lucas and Cape B. Salar (and many others) were turning out. The vast body of tying knowledge and experience contained on the FTF is something that's never been available anywhere in the history of our sport. Many thanks to Will, Steve, and the other members for what's been accomplished here.

It is a great site and I feel guilty sometimes because I feel I don't give enough back by checking in more often and responding to others questions. What a wealth of knowledge. Just type a keyword in the forum search engine.

Guess I'm a pup...at least on here, joined on May 3rd of '07. Since I still cast like a newbie and only get to fish on special occasions that fall during the (seems like) 3 week fishing season, it's a good thing I have the forum to keep my fishing dreams and tying dreams alive...biggrin.png

Yep, congratulations for sure. 10 years seems like a long time to survive in the cyber world.

I just checked my profile, I'm still wet behind the ears having joined in early 2010. Although with the time I've spent posting on here, it feels like I've been around for ten years.

 

Thanks,

Kirk

Yep I remember that :) It was a "name that fly" thing we did if I remember right. I can't remember if I started that or if it was Dave or someone. We use to do some fun little thinks like that back in the day mainly just to keep conversations rolling along since the membership was so new. Man that does feel like a long time ago now lol. We use to have some pretty seriously funny Phoyoshop wars here back then as well Mike don't know if you remember those or not.
