Lurked for maybe a year, joined in 2002. A lot different back then. Sometimes I go into the archives area for one reason or another, see all the old names and wonder whatever happened to them?
Says 2001 , which seems right. Took a break ( but still lurked ) was a member on knifeforums.com, USN, and one other I believe. I see knifeforums is gone, haven’t checked out USN. BFC was the first forum I ever joined, it lead to others in watches and firearms. I think BFC is likely the best of them. Anyway back to reading threads
'08 after a bad accident put me on my back for two months. I had stopped collecting and BF kicked it all off again. I looked at the Busse forum and it was all on again! I would not want to go through the pain of those two months again but sometimes I think it was all worth it to have found this place. Spark if you are reading this......thanks for you do and have done for us.
Recent member here. Joined in October of 2019, had to move halfway across the country, forgot I joined, then rediscovered my membership today, actually. Happy discovery, too. Great forum.
Looks like I've been here since February 2011, learned quite a bit and continue to do so. This is the board I frequent most now of all my hobbies.
Lurked when the forums started. Made it official in '98. I think I drifted here from rec.knives if I'm not mistaken. Lots of years,tons of knives!
Since 2001. Lurked for 2-3 years before that and never joined because “I didn’t want to get all addicted to knives like all you suckers”. Whoops. Here I’ve found good advice, great deals, unbelievable generosity, and most importantly, friendship.
