    Congratulations, Nick! Twenty years is a long time! I haven't met you in person, nor have I met anyone else from this forum (at least knowingly), but I get a lot more camaraderie here than I do in many face-to-face venues I frequent. Well done!

    And Merry Christmas!

    Striving to be ordinary

    Proud to be a TFF Dumbass!

    Congrats, Nick. I've been on for 15 years this year.

    Cool beans Nick,

    I hit the twenty year mark last September. Before that it was Tweedscape, where I still hang out with the old-timers.

    The name "Telenator" was born on this forum. I didn't want to carry over Tele-Bob, but it ended up that way. All good. Big Fun!

    Wow, twenty years for me too and I’m still sort of anonymous here.

    21 years last July for me. If I recall, I joined within a few days of the forum being started. It wasn't until the August/September 2003 influx of new dumbasses including gibsonjunkie, Telenator, Offshore Angler, Laker, and many others arrived that this place really took off for a while.

    I'm posting so I can see my join date

    good lord, I'm old enough to buy booze, 21 years last month. Seriously?

    *just one more edit, I swear* This is my second oldest forum, found out about it from The Les Paul Forum, my oldest by 3 months.

    Dang. 21 years ago. I launched on a guitar journey that peaked with the Brazilian craze of '03, that flight of fancy got trimmed by job redefinition ie I got laid off, after finding a sustainable cruising altitude, did handy man stuff until medical events pretty much grounded me. Ground travel suits me for now.

    It was 15 years ago that we had the TFF Bloomfield Jam at the Bike Museum...

    The guy who owned the bike museum was in a band and that was part of their rig.

    Don't see too many four-holers played live these days. They were glorious back in the day though.
