Where’s all the old timer NWFAers?

[pirateer2007]

Just wondering if there's any members still active from back around '09-'11? Back when there was a live chat and Randy Pinkham was still alive and kickin.

Those were my most active years on here. I sure was sorry to hear of Pinkhamr's passing!

You can find a few at the Notable Members link.

You'll also find a lot of folks on that list who joined just after that date.

I was even a mod at one point. I was highly active for a long time. Life changes made me less active and only check in from time to time.

OCT 2011. I think I might have traded you some beef bones for some .22 back in the day in an interaction from SGT?

Ive done many deals with pinkham over the years and been around this forum a long time.

Earned my only negative trade rating years ago for some guy getting upset over me not including a charging handle with a upper

I've been here since 9/11/11. I've, literally become an "Old Timer" since then.Pretty tight knit back then. I kinda felt like I got to know most members from their postings. It was a very welcoming group. It still is, even with the huge membership that has joined.

There are some members that passed that I felt real hurt when they left us. You come to feel like you know these people personally

How long ago did the site do away with the live chat?

 

[pirateer2007]

Playing around on the way back machine, I found a snapshot of the page on 3/9/2009! That old webpage formatting really got my heart racing! I miss the days of face to face transactions where the only background check was a guy's word and a solid handshake.

Ironically enough in the snapshot I was selling a buffer assembly and stock for an AR. Earlier today I just made a WTB posting for an AR buffer tube, lol.

I still have a couple 1911s from him as well. He was from Oklahoma, Altus if I remember correctly, but he was always in the chat!
