Am i the only one who joined, rather than just looking in, because the mags. Became too full of the same cycle of rehashed articles, and increased prices I've been catching carp since 1975. Most of what has been published since the hair has been irrelevant. Rig evolution is fine, but it requires a knowledge of the lake you are fishing at the time. Even the swim on that lake, or the half of that swim that the fish will pick up from. The buggers that catch the bigguns on a regular basis are not geniuses. They are the people who can be on the bank at the right time and in right place at the right time a modicum of understanding of animal behavior helps. We don't all have to do a Rod Hutchinson and push peas around the carpet with our noses to understand carp feeding behavior. It's all out there the big benefit of being a human is , we learn from the experience of our forebears.
More original thought and less sheepism is what we need.
God bless the original thinkers. If you are one, don't sell out keep it to yourselves

When did the Forum start? Any OG,s on here still from day dot.??

Maybe Karlos can come on here and give us a brief history of the Forum. Why he started it, what kind of traffic was it getting at its peak. Famous members etc. Correct me if I'm mistaken. This Forum has to be the last of its kind. Or the only one that gets regular traffic still. Lot of History here. Plenty of knowledge passed on over the years, that's for sure.

21 years for me. I don't log in all that often, but have browsed the forum a couple of times a day for most of the last 20 years.
I wonder who's been registered the longest? Karlos, I suppose.

My old account was Nov 2005. I remember writing a post in the catch results about my first 20 around that time which is now long gone - would love to read that back.

17 Feb 2004 it says I joined, 22 years ago. Might have been the first website forum I ever registered to when my parents first decided to get internet, mental how long ago it was.
