What’s the Story?

Hi all!
I am a new member and am just curious, when did this forum open, and who were the founding members? I look forward to future aircraft discussions, thank you

Welcome from California.

I am relatively new to the forum, so I'm not sure of the history...

Welcome!

Start here:

A few ground rules for the new folks

 

[Snautzer01]

Welcome. Be sure this is mostly a laid back, but knowlegeable community.

Have fun.

Welcome aboard!

The forums have been around since 2004 and not sure of all the founders, but I'm pretty sure Horse is one of them.
Some of the old-timers would know better than me, I've only been here since 2008

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Horse is the owner and founder.

I joined up in 2004, and joined the moderating staff shortly thereafter. There are quite a few of us "old-timers" still around. Some that are gone too.

That's awesome! Were you all just a bunch of guys who enjoy ww2 aviation history?

That's pretty much what brings everyone here.

Some of us are more cosmopolitan, branching out into WW1 or even postwar aircraft.

Be aware, though, there are a few stranger bods here who like trains or tanks or other unmentionables!

I came for the buffet

and you, in turn, have provided plenty of food for thought ever since.

Welcome Contrails16. Stick around and you will learn much, and see the odd verbal fisticuffs

Be forewarned Contrails16, I have it on good authority that this fellow is our resident troll.

 

[Peter Gunn]

And one of the most important ground rules here that we can all agree on:


NEVER NEVER EVER...

Denigrate/insult/diss/harsh on the Buffalo.

Pay heed to that and you'll do fine here.

Ahaha, well I'm 21 now and never quite got the opportunity to enjoy old school message boards and forums while growing up, but now that I have found one that pertains to my interests and is still active, I'm more than happy to partake in all the fun

Ahaha tanks and bikes are cool too So nice time see a somewhat diverse crowd

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

21?

Now I do feel old...
