panerai153 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just looked at my profile, today is my Eight year anniversary. Doesn't seem like that long, but a lot of thing's have happened in the rep world in those 8 years!! Reps are better, but more expensive too. Sadly, a lot of the guys that were around here when this forum kicked off way back then have moved on, a few have stayed active, most encouraging is the presence of all the newer members who have come on board and are making great contributions to the Forum. Happy to have been a participant for the past eight years, and I hope I'm still around in eight more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey congratulations mate! Very impressive and great that you've been here that long. Its really interesting to see how far reps have developed. I remember my first el cheapo Tag Heuer Link I bought in Tenerife from the lookie lookie men when I was 14 (14 years ago!). Rusted and corroded like mad after 2 days and I needed up throwing it out of my hotel window haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 LOL! I've got you beat by a day A! It has been a long time and like you say, a lot of those people from the early days have moved on. I still enjoy it, but I'm not as active as I used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Actually it is only 8 years on this forum for Arthur, he was with us on the original RWG too and has always been a stellar member. Congratulations. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I remember the day like it was yesterday, when we opened the floodgates and barraged the old poxy dying site with announcements and links to the new RWG home. It was March 17th and we brought over around 2,000 members that day if memory serves. Heh, it literally was "yesterday" eight years ago. Happy birthday RWG!

panerai153 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks very much guys, I can assure you, I have learned a lot in those years. As nanug said, a whole lot of us were on the old RWG and TRC, and when those sites died, many if us came over here, were made welcome, and the rest is history!!!
