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.

I’ve been here since January 2016, about six months after inception. I resisted the first few months because I was a diehard Yellow forum member and Gateway too. Then I started coming around here and found it to be an excellent forum!

I still check the Yellow and GTA once a day, but I’m in here throughout the day, everyday.

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.

I dreamed of a Crossman 760. No way in my house. Got around that rule by borrowing.
When it came time for real guns at 14 (1971) same deal. Used to borrow a Mossberg bolt action 12 gauge.
Finally won them over and got my first gun of any kind a Mossberg 500 which sits loaded in corner
by bed

Good choice of home protection rig. AND , legal for your state ! Worked an environmental job there years ago. As kids ,all our airguns(BB) were hand me downs from older cousins or friends.

I’ve been on here since May of 2015, not long after Ted started it. Like most of us that have been on here since the beginning, I was on the Yellow. I have really enjoyed this forum, I thank Ted for starting it and I think he made the right decision handing it over to Michael. He and his team seem to do a pretty good job at keeping things under control.

Been here since 2022 I believe but belonged to the Jim Kitchem forum Fun Supply was also on Yellow Forum since early 2000, GTA forum since 2005 I believe.. enjoy them all but the others seem to be dying off slowly not much movement in threads.
Have to say AGN is the best for information and general community interaction. Best classifieds also.

Been poking around the forums since the AGL days, then the Fun Supply forum with James Kitching and several others that were around at that time. The smaller forums died off and the Yellow went downhill. Had an account here back in the day when it first appeared, but wasnt a poster... and 're-enlisted' in 2020 and have been here ever since. I'll visit the Yellow and GTA, but rarely post there any more. Cant make everyone happy with a forum, but this one checks more boxes for me and has less BS than the others so here is where I call home.

Yes legal so far, but there’s people that run NY cities that would change that. They rule the rest of us. No different than other states.
