Title: I've been here for 3 years
Post by: austinbob on March 31, 2016, 06:57:10 PM
Just realised its been just over three years since I joined this forum. Time has gone so fast it seems like 3 months, but I must say I've enjoyed being here and hope to continue contributing and learning for many years to come...
:) :beers:

When time passes so quickly like that, you have to be enjoying yourself.

Cheers John.

I always find time flies when you don't know what the hell you are doing :confused2:
Having been on the forum for 5 years I guess there are some who'd say that's 5 years too long, but  :P, I'm having fun :laugh3:

I must say I don't know what the hell I'm doing any time. Does make life interesting though!!  :) :beers:
And NN I don't think 5 years or any longer time is too long on this forum. Long may it continue.
:D

There were a few of us that joined 5 years ago. Don't know what prompted the rush.

Crikey I just realized I am one of the five year members as well, problem is with me I spent to much time modelling OO Gauge  :veryangry: but I did eventually find my way back to N Scale :angel:

Hmm, 5 years here too. Club must have been shut. Hang on.... just looking at my profile, I clocked on around 10 in the morning UK time, which makes it about 7pm Aus time. I was at the club.

I remember now. I did it on me phone.  :D

Four years for me (Feb 2012) and I've enjoyed reading and learning and seeing what everyone is doing.

Has it really taken me that long to get a half decent layout half finished?

I exaggerate when I say 'half decent & half finished' but is it OK if  I say 'work in progress'?  :-[

And what layout isn't "work in progress"?

For me, a mere 18 months or so since I joined. Probably a life sentence with no hope of parole.

Can't remember how long I have been around but the number of members has grown significantly over the years.
Think about 5 years as well

Take a look at your Forum Profile OM, and you'll be able to see exactly how long you have been here. :)

I'm sure every minute has been worthwhile! :thumbsup:
