I may have asked this before but what is the Yellow forum? Would like to take a look.

I'm coming up on my 10-year anniversary. I became a member in January 2016 but was an early lurker when AGN first started in 2015. I was previously on GTA but haven't logged on for a while. There have been a lot of changes since then. Does anyone remember the green and red balls for positive and negative posts? Sometimes I wish that could be brought back again lol. Some members sure do deserve dem red balls.

I’ve been online talking about airguns off and on for over 25 years. I remember when Ted wasn’t doing holdover and when he went by Ted in Madison. I know a lot of folks have been airgunning a lot longer than that but I was fortunate to get in and start exploring right about when airgunning arrived in the Internet.

AGN popped up during one of my absences. At the time I was new owner of a small horse farm and spending my time learning tractors and hay storage.

Anybody remember the thread on the old Yellow Forum that had daily photos of random beautiful women. They were always clothed; just barely. It was an odd thread for an airgun forum but it certainly stuck in my memory.

If AGN made a geriatric / senior subforum, 80% of the sites traffic / posts would be in there.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

AGN 2020, GTA 2010, HAM 2024… They are all so good and contribute so much to us all. Stay well all

Montgomery Wards Christmas catalog… the 22s ohhh man did I drool.
After gaining trust , not getting in trouble. Mom got me a Browning bl22 for christmas. I researched back then and wanted a model 788 ( cheaper than 700)I think Remington in 6mm rem . Local gun store talked her out of it.

Before we had access to cars we walked or bicycled to the city limits where we hunted and plinked.
Actually walked through what is now a high crime city, to the woods. Got questioned a couple times by cops, they just wanted to make sure it wasn’t loaded. 14 and 15 year olds were not supposed to be without a 18 + but was never bothered about that. Can you young ones imagine ?

i used to strap my gun to the cross bar (boys bike ) to get to the fields . Mid 50's

I remember Ted of Ted’s holdover ( and a edgun channel thing I can’t remember the correct name) announcing a moving of his bolg in the summer of 2015 to airgun nation.
It been 10 years to many cold drinks and handling of pellets to recall the details.

That's how I found it. Then Micheal took control and it's been a great place to hang out.

Ok. Here it what I did.
Went to General discussion forms.
Jumped to the very first page the back one. I seen some 1969 but that was not right then clicked on there names , and seen 2015 ect. So has this form been around for 10 years man a 10 year celebration is in order. Some of those guys were on here today.
Some only lasted a year. I whish I would have found this 10 years ago.
I'm 64 but have a love for airguns that can't be undone. It all came about when I was 7 then at 13 got that Sheridan blue streak at Monkey Wards.

Similar to the Old Vet, myself.
Sheridans made lifers out of young airgunners.

Was a member on Jim Kitchens Fun Supply forum and the Yellow Forum both back around 1997 or so maybe a bit later if I remember correctly, also been a member on GTA for a long time(2012) but was on forum a few years before I registered.. was a late comer to AGN but think its a great forum with a lot of good members.

I have been here since 2018, I lurked for about a year before joining. I still have my 22 cal silver streak that was my first, it’s probably 35 years old. Me and dad use to shoot it because I was too small to pump it. My uncle had a really old 20cal Benjamin and wish I could have ended up with it. Just to sit back with mine. This group has some very good people with very good information. You just have to wade through some of the craziness and the good guys will help. I’ve been lucky and had some really good guys reach out to help me with issues and advice.

FYI, All Sheridan's are .20 caliber. No .22 were ever sold.
Have fun!
