Told cops where to go for over 29 years…

17 years ago today I found this rag tag group. Using DSL, Windows XP, and a AMD Athlon based computer with probably a 320Gb HD and 2Gb RAM.

Today, 1 Gig cable internet, Apple MacBook Pro, 1TB SSD, 16Gb RAM. Oh, how times have changed!

The one thing that has been consistent is the awesomeness of this Forum, Para, and all the folks who have been so helpful to their "imaginary friends" over the years.

For the Karma, I don't know what it will be yet - either a flashlight or a pocket knife, I have too many of both. I'll figure it out in a day or so and update with info and a pic.

Rules...

Need to have been here 10 years or more with a "substantial" number of posts. No minimum number, but I would say 4 digits maybe? I want this one to be for active, longtime folks.

Tell me one thing you have learned from SF or how it h as improved your life.


Winner drawn on Monday!


**UPDATE**

My random number generator said post #28 and that was V-Tail.

I still haven’t dug out what I am giving away - what is your preference - pocket knife or flashlight?

Thanks to all for playing!

Congratulations on your 17th SF anniversary.

I learn new things here all the time. E.g.: Just the other day I learned the newest generation of credit cards were "smarter" that I thought they were. Guess knowing that makes my life better by relieving the anxiety of using them with POS terminals.

Whatever the karma, I'd like to throw my name in the hat with my thanks for the opportunity.

The invisible friends here, so much learned.

I've learned a lot more on political subjects since I've been on here.

You're missed on the bike, not many to compete against 'live' from here.

More than anything, though, the hesitation-free generosity of the folks here, to complete strangers usually, is truly amazing. From something simple like a small karma, to the truly life saving/altering deeds we've seen.

Happy Anniversary!

I’ve learned countess things from this place, and the people here. I’ve seen so much generosity among this group. I guess the most important thing I’ve learned is….
Help someone when you can.





10mm lays waste to entire cities, cuts through diamonds and will tear Superman a new asshole. - Parabellum

Sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. It's in their wiring. They should not be released back into the general public. On the other hand they should not be warehoused either. I think they should be executed.....Spectre

When someone tries to kill you, it doesn't matter how they are doing it. You're in mortal danger, and it's time to try to kill them back.

Arc.

Kill every last one of these goddamned animals. We need a president with balls. We need leadership. We should be carpet bombing these barbarians wherever we find them, and we should be looking for them 24/7. We have to unleash Hell upon them. They understand nothing but death, so death is what we should bring them, wholesale.... Para

Happy anniversary indeed!
This group certainly is one that gives us all a place to interact with like minded people…even if we are all invisible friends….and certainly gives me hope that there truly is sanity left in this world! This place keeps me sane!
Count me in for the mystery karma

Please include me. I’m my time here, I’ve come to appreciate the factual information I see here as opposed to narrative-speak from the msm. It takes a good bit of effort for members to sift through the internet chaff and glean out truth and it is appreciated.

February 17th, your 17th Anniversary here and my 76th birthday. I'm in for the karma and if it is something I won't use, I'll reKarma it.

I have learned to temper my sarcasm. I have also learned that I enjoy being a part of a like-minded community.
