[Ash]

Just going through some old articles in BFo and came across this classic. The sites come a long way. I remember ecery getting excited when the site hit 300, then 500 then 1000 and iy just keeps on going.

Go AFO!!

[Ash]

[kriso]

haha was alot more than that when i joined

[fishyman]

haha before my time but yeah it has grown alot.

and well done on the 1000 posts mate

[Ash]

Ha thanks fishyman, to be honest i didnt even notice till ya mentioned it.

I cant remember exactly what number i was, but when i signed up we were just in the double digits!

[Cowfish13]

HaHa, I remember that:lol:

I think it was around the 200 mark when I joined, maybe less. Dunno for sure though:dry:

[Terry H]

I wonder when I joined.. :S It was a looooooooong time ago, I think about a month after the site was started - so when things were very small and only a handful of users.

Amazing stuff!

[jeff f]

yep i remember that

i was member #242

[werewolf]

yeah same! I reckon around the 20-50 mark for me. I feel so old:laugh: I wish you could check, it would be good bragging rights in our signaturesB)

[Angus]

Well done Ash

From memory Ash you were in the top 20... I will check though.

As far as old school members go, Ando was number 2!!

Good work on the thousand Ash!!

Angus

[Cowfish13]

How can we check what member number we were?

[Mick]

You are number 320 Cowfish

Just click any user and the last digit in the link is their number

for you Cowfish http://www.australianfishing.com.au/community/profile?userid=320

[Mick]

Ash was 81

Angus 63 ???

Werewolf you 125

I was 348...

[Cowfish13]

I just checked and that would meen that Jeff f was #422:S

I also joined before that article of 300 members was posted (I joined on 23/8/06, article was created on 19/10/06 by the looks of it)

So I think that there may be something wrong with the member number in the profile link:dry:

Thanks for trying anyway:)

[MichaelJ]

yeh it says i was 200 and something but i think i was around 1000

[Mick]

Some people may have left but that number would be correct also they might have had some test user they later deleted but, the board would only add each user in order... you would have been the 320th member to join...

eg the last user to join was JohnBen81 and he was number 2886 BUT we only have 2419 members...

The 300 anglers was posted 19 Oct 2006

Cow you joined 23 Aug 2006

I joined in 15 Sep 2006, before the 300

but my number is 348 ...

Does that all make sense??

Jeff joined on 3 Nov 2006 after the 300 posting news his number of 422 makes sense...

[fishyman]

Member Since 13/11/2007

Number 2204

[fishyman]

woah nice, thanks mick

[Mick]

62 is webmaster

63 is angus

64 is Johnny

65 is rkas and has never been used

66 is no longer a user

67 is ando_04

So they are the top 5

so i guess they burned 61 users in setup

[jeff f]

when afo was on the old original server it used to say what number you were in your profile, right there with the date you joined and when you were last online

mine allways said that i was 242

[Ash]

Yeah there def wasnt 100 poeple on the site when i joined. Not that it matters!:laugh:

[Terry H]

126 - right after werewolf

But given that 61 were before webmaster and angus, really 65?

sweet so I'm number 64 then, the old memory isn't too bad:P Ahhh back in the day...

Remember when the site was called "Brisbane River Classic"? that was a while ago too.

[Do$tylz]

awesome... 217 - 61 = 156. Jeez... didn't realise I've been her for that long.

[Cowfish13]

Werewolf: Yeah I remember that. I've still got the rego and member emails that they sent out when I first signed up calling the site Brisbane River Classic.com.au:)

[efc]

yeah the site has come along way.

good stuff!

cant wait to get my new yak and catch up with everyone on the water

[Angus]

Its awesome seeing more and more people getting involved as well.

When we started this, I would never have expected it would lead to having consistanly awesome and growing base of anglers and mates to fish with.

For exmaple, Winter camp last year was an absolute blast. As was the Toga Camp. Cant wait for the Kayak Camp and Winter Camp this year!!

Next thing ill need to do is organise a saltwater camp!

I was thinking about this the other day, it'd be cool do do a trip across to peel island. Kayaks and Boats ( boats can help ferry kayakers camp gear across ), camp overnight, then kayak back.

[Angus]

username thats a good option for sure.

For a lower level option though, and one good for couples etc, I was even toying with Curramundi. There is a good mass camp site and we could split between fishing the lakes or going throught the surf to the reef depending on keeness. Top it all off with a big BBQ and a few drinks, presto, a typical AFO overnighter

[pinkey]

I remember looking at this site when ages ago when it was called brisbane river classic. I didnt realy know what it was tho, and i wasnt as into fishing, so i just looked at a few pics and left . I think i googled 'brisbane river sharks' or somthing..

[pcsolutionman]

I frequinted the site for a year or more looking at pics etc before meeting angus and some other AFO boys up at baroon pocket after angus put a going fishing notice on akff. I joined after seeing what a great bunch of blokes the site had
