Hard to believe but it was 20 years ago in 2004 we started this forum and it's still going strong.  8)

Congratulate yourselves!   ;)

Mike Barrio's forum is even older and the once great Fly Forums was a free Proboards setup then  and vastly better than it is now.

I was speaking to Mike about this last year and he agrees that it is essential that free and independent  non-commercial sites lke this and his are kept alive even although they are not as busy as they once were.

Well done Fred!

I know it's not much compared to most and I sadly missed the forum when it was at its most active but I can't believe I'll be up to six years as a member come September. Doesn't feel that long at all.

Like so many things they all need attention and a lot of unseen maintenance input. Well done for keeping it all on the road for those 20 years.

I stumbled upon this website in 2006 by happy accident and the intervening 18 years I have read posts that have inspired me, annoyed me, made me laugh out loud, made me think, taught me a lot and most of all made me feel part of a rather odd community!

This thread alone speaks volumes for that community and the website https://www.wildfisher.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9025.0

Thanks to Fred and the team for making it happen!

Who knows the website may still be thriving in 2044!
Sadly my 7' 5 weight that killed fascists is deceased!

So in respect and in memorium, PLEASE DONATE TO AND SUPPORT THE WILD FISHING FORUM
