Title: Forum Anniversary
Post by: Patriot on June 08 2015 04:51:36 AM MDT
Today is the 3rd anniversary since I went public with the forum. It's exceeded my expectations by far. Never imagined we'd have over 1800 members in just 3 years. It's truly been the best forum I've ever been a part of. We've only had to ban one member in three years (not counting spammers, just real members). Keep up the good work. We really appreciate the time everyone puts in and the great information.

Thanks Patriot for this forum, it has been a great 3 years, and a true asset to the 10mm enthusiast seeking history, knowledge or just wanting to bounce around some thoughts and ideas.  Thanks for allowing me to do my part here as well.

As I view some of the older forums, activities there have about quit or the forums are so heavily laden with distractive advertisements it deliniates from the activities and slows things down.  Not so here with the ad free environment!

Congrats and here's to many more years of fun and gun!  ;D

From a 10mm newbie:  Thanks!

I have learned a lot here ... and still have much more to learn.

Happy birthday, and congratulations, are certainly in order! I think it definitely says a lot about the forum that's it's three years old and still ad/spam/B.S.-free. I admire and appreciate the dedication and devotion to keeping the site open and accessible while avoiding efforts to monetize it. I'm still new here but I really do appreciate everyone's efforts and contributions. Thank you Patriot, forum managers, and everyone else who has contributed in one way or another. Here's to three more years.

This forum is the best!  Great information and good folks!  Thanks for all the hard work...

P.S. - The software works great, couple of others that I used to visit upgraded software and they are horrible now (haven't visited since), thanks for keeping it clean, simple, and productive.

I thought it had been around much longer. I must have been lurking in the shadows since near the beginning.

Just looking in on the "More Stats" page...

male to female ratio....190:1

I don't know what is more amazing...That this is a default stat, or that the ratio is so lopsided.

The longest two days of my life, after posting the link on various firearms websites and putting up flyers at my local gun stores and shooting ranges, to wait for someone to finally sign up.

Wasn't it the supposed female agents that couldn't handle the recoils of the 10mm when the FBI was trying them out? Or is that just the myth?

There's certainly some truth to the argument about the recoil, but it's not exclusively related to female agents. There are plenty of males who also find the recoil to be excessive (not necessarily insurmountable, but undesirable).

OTOH.

My wife flat refuses to shoot anything else.  She is a 10mm shooter.  Even turns her nose up to 22lr plinkers.

Thanks to all that's made this a great site. I've learned a lot here about my favorite round, the 10mm. Long live 10mm-firearms.com.

Wow time flies.  In 7 days, I have been here for 3 years.  Well, off and on but I continue to come back.  This is a great place.  You dont see very much, if any bickering back and forth between the members which is a huge plus.  No advertisements is awesome.  Thanks Patriot for a great site.

Yeah, was probably too much for a guy like Bruce Jenner! :P
