Thanks for joining. If you hadn't joined I never would have met you. Thanks for being a friend. Now take care of yourself, old man! (Didn't want to get too mushy and sentimental, you know.)

Glad I am not the only one dedicated enough (dumb enough??) to hang out here for 11 years, Bob. It has been a great trip, hasn't it?

Do we members that have a member number lower than 10,000 get a reduced subscription rate?

Re: Join Date: May 21st, 2001

congrats bob......and happy iboats day (birthday) ....lol

tyme........your membership dues, reflect the price at the time of your join date.......you joined one day after the free sign up......so your dues are a dollar.

but when you hit 3000 you get a reduced membership rate.

JB was the first moderator I can remember being active........... Yes JB, it has been a very fun ride!

We had political banter/fights............

We had off color jokes............

Organization of where things got posted was just starting to take shape.......

Young people who started back then on iboats were radical, stupid and big pains to all forum member's.......... NOW they are college graduates!

Many member's who have moved across country and never left the forum.

Many who were "deployed" or had family member's deployed and we have supported.

We have lost some great member's who are boating and fishing in the heavens now Gone but never forgotten.

We have had some fantastic member's who have vanished (We suspect alien abduction)

Look among your co-workers/friends/neighbors and see how many have stuck with it for this long.

iboats has become a way of life. Whenever any question/situation comes up...... post it on iboats and you will get an answer and great sound advice.

Friendships, engagements, marriages, parenthood, grand parenthood, retirement, boat purchases, home purchases, business start-ups........... omg the list can go on forever and will continue to grow.

My sincere thanks to the many iboats member's I have met in person and developed friendships with that are long lasting.

I thank Bruno for his "living room idea" to start up iboats and most of all I thank all of the iboats member's for making this place so dam worth it.
