RKic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 August 16th will mark seven years since I joined ARC. It boggles the mind how much has changed. In many ways I miss the older, smaller, simpler ARC. But it is interesting to see many of the same names posting today as back then, and to even see some of the same running jokes (move on people!). I've seen members blow up and quit, I've seen members get married, have kids, divorce, and in some cases even die. In my whole life, I never lived in the same house for seven years. It's almost funny then that I'm still visiting the same forum. I guess that despite its very many foibles, this really is a good forum. Here's to seven more years.

jester292 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm at 8.5 years. You're correct in thinking this is a great forum; It is! Thanks for all who make it happen, including the general membership who post regularly to keep us coming back! Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm only coming up on 1 year but I can tell you this. ARC is by far the best forum I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of. To be honest with you its the only modeling forum I can actually run through and find things on a whim when I'm in a hurry. I will definitely be here for years to come. Thanks to ARCer's I have learned so much my modeling has excelled in ways that I never dreamed. Thank you all for everyones help. JOSH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I have been a member for a little over 7 years. What is amazing to me is that nearly 5,000 people joined during the 2 years from start to my joining, (and nearly 3 times that since).

Tilt Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Member 69 here. I think I'm well over 10 years in one form or another with ARC. I still lurk now and again. Not much time for models these days - maybe get back to them someday soon. Still have quite the 'stash' in the basement (lotsa Hornets yet). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uscusn Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Time does seem to fly lately. I think I'm #70. 9 years. Some years didn't post much as other things were going on such as life. But I frequent ARC more now that things have settled down, I have all my kits in one place no longer in storage. The work bench up and running so fun to start building again.
