Me:
I was with Northern_Dave a couple months after we had tragically lost a mutual best friend. I believe I was talking about AT (the big archery forum).
He said "hey, since you're a Forum guy, you should check out my thread I started (Birth of a Deer Camp) about our cabin that we are building, on 24hourcampfire.com.
I checked it out and the rest is history.
So how did you discover this awesome, albeit, highly dysfunctional, place? lol

I guess it was 10-11 years ago that I wasn’t seeing any of Mule Deer’s writings in Handloader and Rifle so I did a search and sure enough he was here on the ‘Fire.

Shooters.com was going toes-up in early 2002. A bunch of guys said they were going to this new forum called 24hourcampfire.com. I followed.

I don't remember. My guess is I googled something I wanted to find out about and this popped up.

This place was like ground zero for Savage 99 people Same here. Websearch for 99 info turns up this place left and right. Started lurking 5-ish years ago for assorted info when I started getting into 99s, but just finally joined last month.

Google most anything gun and shooting related would lead me to the Fire.
Read threads for several years, laughed and learned.
I hit semi retirement and decided to kick Flave in the nuts for a pastime.
No regrets...Love this evil place.

I found it in 02 or 03 when I was Googling something about handloads. I was a lurker for a while and eventually joined up. First online forum I ever signed up for. Cost me a lot of money over the years!
Now with even more aplomb

I was googling something, ran across a thread on the subject. You can google almost anything, put Campfire at the end, some old thread will come up, all still available to comment on. Aggravates the cshit out of some when I do that.

The old Shooters site was imploding with their policies and heavy-handed moderating. RickBin was actively promoting this place over on the Shooter's site (which I think got him banned), but I joined up here, because I could see the handwriting on the wall. This site was virtually empty, except for Rick and his dad (CritrGetter or some handle like that). Another member, Echo4Echo, later E4E, and I started encouraging folks to register here. You'll see a lot of folks joined here in January and February of 2001. That was the core group that made "the exodus" and stayed here.
I've been here ever since.
