Guys, we have been hanging out for a very long time and the inside jokes are great, if you can remember back that far
Yeah, it seems like yesterday, but a lot of time has passed. I'm very grateful that a lot of us on the GG have been online friends spanning several forum venues.
I started out on Shopfloortalk back in the 1990's. At the time I joined, the place was in a massive dustup over something that old "Franz" had said or done. He must have thrown a huge "turd in the punchbowl" because they kicked him out the door very quickly, and the repercussions lasted a long time. I didn't stick around very long and found Channel 2. When the posts over there began to drift to floor coatings, hang tags, naked wives/girlfriends and eventually banning Uncle Buck, I had enough and followed Uncle Buck, Rusty, J.A.F.E and Krusty over to the GH.
Well, we al know how that GH venture turned out -- craziest thing I ever saw happen to a tool forum. Thankfully Uncle Buck and Rusty managed to save the day by creating the GG forum. Glad I made the switch because I learned a lot, and received a lot of encouragement from all the crew over the years. GG is part of the family .
