tenacious_b Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I was old school in a past life, but all my knowledge and experience was stripped from my conscious memory when I was born this time around, but fortunately, my old school mentality was preserved. Awesome post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 lani, well thought out post; couldn't agree more with your thoughts while i wasn't around pre-RWG, i often feel like an old-timer. the reps these factories are coming out with now are truly amazing; even two short years ago i wouldn't have believed you if you had told me reps would get this close straight out of the box deltatahoe I really think of you as an Old time vet though.. not of the "crusty" variety mind you... your info has been totally helpful .. that's fo sure B .. @tenacious.. mmm the past life deal.. believe it I do .. and Mahalo Happy New Year all who are already into 2009 !!!!

RobbieG Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah, not me and TJ Lani. Never anything but a brothers with us - just like you... And BTW Lani, you can bust on me whenever you like. I'm not wound tight like that and you know that. Brothers till the end for sure. On the other side, although TJ isnt one of them, there certainly are those who very clearly don't like me (really only one actually) and that are wound too tight for jokes and anything else for that matter. But they aren't really part of our "regulars" crew on here anyway so when there is a battle with I kind of enjoy the intellectual sparring of it anyway. Breaks the boredome once and a while and keeps the mind sharp. That is what makes this place great though - even the bad blood doesn't taste too terrible.

southcoast68 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Great post!! I totally understand your point of view, it stands for giving respect for those who came before us (and those who are still here) that created this place for us, and continue to make it great with us. And at this time, I wish to say THANK YOU to all of the old school members out there for their knowledge, advice, posts, photography and most of all, for their inspiration. And to all members who read this, I wish all a happy and healthy 2009!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthebhoy Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I consider myself more "old fool" than "old school" however as ma mammy used to say, "It's nice tae be nice" so a big thumbs up from me on the sentiment of the thread and best wishes to all now and in 2009.

Corgi Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 But we are now a bit of old and a bit of new ... some may say wow, some of those members are really harsh... just understand .. why RWG is so technically informed.. it's because of members that are so bent on perfection I have to agree; don't get discouraged because your rep has a flaw. Every rep has a flaw - some bigger some smaller. If you want "perfection" go to the store and buy gen. But I doubt you'll have as much fun doing it as we do!

jeff g Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Member #'s are an indication of 'School'. New or Old. When the BIG change came to RWG, I was proud to be in the 20's. Enjoying the friendships here at RWG is way more important than how long you have been around. Happy New Year to ALL RWG members. Just remember that if it wasn't for THOMAS we would all still be drifting about the netherworld of watchlove. HAPPY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Happy New Year to ALL EU !!!! You all have a head start on 2009 .... I meant this thread not as how much "time" you have or that anyones "better" because of it.. but rather as a "mindset".. that's what "Old School" is to me.. far removed from the Modern "let's make it easier with a shortcut".. it may not be as good.. but it'll be easier.. the ooposite of what I call "ol school" not quite 3:00 pm New years Eve here..
