Today marks 15 years since I joined this forum. I want to thank Saeed, Don, the mods and the members here for all the interaction, advice, guidance and enthusiasm shared. I would not have gone to Namibia in 2007 but for this forum.

I originally joined this forum prior to the upgrade in 2000. I think I was D99 then, my login didn't survive so I rejoined and then got harassed off the forum. I thought I was gone for good, things have changed a lot over the years and harassment isn't the same as it used to be.

So I rejoined again in 2010 or 2011 and I have never been happier. It seems most of the true assholes have either died or went someplace else.

Of course we still have Rich, but I agree Don and Saeed have the best forum in the world. They always have. I originally joined long ago when Saeed first started this up. It has been and will always be the best forum in the world.

D99, MOA Tactical and Big Wonderful Wyoming.

Glad you are here!

To me, AR is a good place to learn lots of useful information and plenty of

The thing I enjoy most about AR is no single group/gang/clan/clique dictates how the site is run.

I can not say the same for the more regional sites.

Happy AR Birthday to us both!

Rusty, good job. I do believe our old friend Ray Atkinson also joined 15 years ago.

Bill,

Thank you.

Here on AR we try not to interfere with what members post - except on very rare occasions when we are left with no option because someone seems to be bent on being a silly.

I hope we will be here in another 15 years time.
