I thought 54 was the age requirement to be a member?? My bad.

Of course I'm still waiting on my IQ certification pw. I swear they take forever.

I am relatively new (2 years) to this board. Yet, reading through archived threads I don't see that it has gotten worse. People are still people and there a good threads and bad threads.

I think it is similar to how each generation thinks the generation after them is worse. Or how some elders talk about the "good ol days" and how they were so much better yet forget the World War and the great depression they lived through.

You are correct Andy. The more our hobby changes the more it stays the same. Every time someone says "gee, there are a lot of idiots on the board" I tell them to put 5000 people in a room and see what you get. As we have gotten bigger, which I think is better, it's just the way it is. Also, many times, when I or someone else posts things about the history of our hobby from 30-75 yrs ago, we see the EXACT same sentiments being bantered about. To me it's all good. We need the wild swings to the right and left to have harmony, imo. But then again my IQ hasn't reached 54 yet.

I joined the (old) board in January 2009. My apologies for contributing to the decline of the Net54 collective IQ.

Leon, agree and that's what I meant by the site has grown from the old days, and while I will stick to my guns that there have been some real wall lickers that have come and gone there has been some real good guys as well. The one constant that has been has been you Leon just remember you will always be our king.

I may have to get you this hat for the National.





I also know the earfuls Josh Leland gave you about Jeff and I I’m sure you had our backs. Kudos for that.
