In the "old" days of the first forum I hosted it on a fixed IP in my office.

Then we moved to a shared server.

Then we moved to our own server.

Now we are on a blade server (4 processors on separate servers) 64GB of memory, and a 2 TB of hard drive.

If we outgrow this Walter has plans to move everything onto my old Commodore Pet Serial nr. 1 and start over.

By the way, we are almost at 150 million page views.

It seems only yesterday Saeed and I were chatting about a web page for his reloading statistics.

Who knew?

You guys are all very welcome. We do this because of the gratitude of our friends.

Don

Just wanted to add my thanks to Saeed and Don.

You guys are the best.

I'll echo that!

Gentlemen,

It is about time we told you all the truth!

I know my friend Don has been putting a lot of work into making these forums run smoothly, and I have put in quite a bit of money into it as well.

But, we have finally been rewarded.

We have sold AR to Uncle Robert Gabriel Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, and have received payment in full, as you can see above.

80.5 billion was a steal.....

Now you know why my nose is so long

A great, GREAT web site for sure, I personally

got my first opportunity to shoot a double rifle,

and all my follow up opportunities as well, as a

result of my participation here. It has in fact

changed my life for the BETTER. I fully expect that

when I go to AFRICA, this place will be a huge

part of that event. I am forever greatful that I

met great guys like Mike Podwika and Paul Hawk

Sr., and for the help I received from Paul Jr.

and Mark Cash and many others, all connected to

me via AR. I can not express my gratitude satisfac-

torily in words to Saeed and Don, but that's all
I have. So thank you men, most sincerely.

I am very grateful for the education and entertainment, and general HOO HA here.
Thank you Saeed and Don and all the other forum members, whether semite or not.

My thanks as well! As an "old retired fart", this site has provided me with countless hours of enjoyment. I look forward to the informative and sometimes spirited conversation found here. Many thanks!!!!

Politics aside, I also thank Saeed for his generosity and the friends and acquaintances I have made via this site.

Politics aside? that's what adds some humor to the site.

Don

An enormous thanks to both Saeed and Don for the work and consideration for everyone who visits this site. It is definitely my favorite set of forums. Please keep up the great work.

As an aside, isn't inflation so high in Zim. right now that a loaf of bread is going for about $1 billion? Maybe you gentlemen got took .
Thanks again.

Thanks 150 million, Gents!

Saeed & Don,

Many thanks for your kind generosity and great work! I can't tell you how much I've learned here, how many great and interesting people I've had a chance to meet, and how much I appreciate this privilige.

God bless and kindest thanks,

Chris Meier

Over my lifetime I've been a member of many organizations but I don't believe I've ever participated in one that had such a diverse membership from so many varied backgrounds and locations that shared in such common interests as we see here on AR.

Add my thanks and kudos with the others to Saeed, Don, and all AR members who together combine to make this such a terrific organization.

i appreciate the opportunity that you guys have given us....

well if nobody else is going to - thanks to walter for no doubt doing his best
