Spiel Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 TJ and I, first or second Lakair gathering? First was in 2000 I believe. I have a group shot somewhere of the first year, I'm still searching.
John Bacon Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 The 'Zoo' board was a completely different site. I think 1999 was the first year for this site; I found out about this site from a post on the Zoo board.It was at least that old; I actually won a trip to Lake Nippissing from this site in 1999. I think it was Thanks Giving weekend. I couldn't accept it because it was too close to my son's due date; he was born on Oct 26, 1999. Chris and Canadave did most of the posting back in the beginning.
vance Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Oh my god CANADAVE just after i found this site i got into a big fight about pwc's at 3am after i got off work. live and learn..... vance
Spiel Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 The 'Zoo' board was a completely different site. Yep
Old Ironmaker Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) If I remember correctly I asked the same question just after I joined. Maybe another site. Because of this site I have been able to stop some meds. Because of this site my Dr's have put me on other meds. Yes Spiel I recognize you from that 15 year old pic. We have all changed in 15 years. Some more than others. I'm not called Johnny The Body anymore that's a for sure. Edited July 22, 2015 by Old Ironmaker

mepps Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Heres a group shot form my first Lakair event in 2004! I think I joined shortly before this. Edited July 22, 2015 by Fishing Fury
Motorhead Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 I can remember winning an OFC Hat from TJ back in the beginning... I think it was 98/99??? And I remember the Zoo board... Wow alot has changed since those old message boards. Doug
ecmilley Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 yup found this site from the whats bitin board in 99, eeven remember my computer at the time ibm486dx2 all of 50 mhz and was excited to upgrade from the 14.4k modem to the 56.6 lol
Rich Clemens Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Really cool pics from the good old days
Fisherman Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Wonder how many of these are still around? My hat's still around, just a little over used. Edited July 23, 2015 by Fisherman
Steve Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I remember that photo FF didn't you guys rock a canoe that trip?
wormdunker Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I've been hanging around here a loooong time. I remember back in early 2000's driving along hwy 17 near Sturgeon Falls & TJ had a billboard advertising "Ontario Fishing.Net" I was so excited, I said to my wife "that's the new fishing message board I just joined" Although my member profile shows December 2009 as the joined date - I know it was much earlier than that. On that same trip I purchased a Mariner outboard from the marine dealer in Sturgeon. Probably 2001 or 2002. Great info here!
Old Ironmaker Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I believe the sign is still there. I saw a sign on 69 before you get to Maskinonje Lodge for OFC as well. And my wife went through the same spiel, too funny Brain, I mean Brian. I was offline for about 12 years here at home until we finally got hi speed. I was a member on OHFA 12 years ago. They no longer have a forum??? Edited July 23, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Rich Clemens Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Maybe TJ has some of the old memorabilia lying around.
mepps Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I remember that photo FF didn't you guys rock a canoe that trip? Sure did Steve! An still rocking a canoe now (though the old one was retired!)
Sterling Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 And howcum everytime I type OF..."ENN"...it comes up as OFC ?? Most forums have a "replacement variables" feature where you can force any word to be replaced automatically. On my forums, anyone that drops a "DERP" will see "DERP" instead. In this case the owner/programmer wanted to enforce the use of OFC because users were still typing out O-F-N.
Steelheadphycho Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Most forums have a "replacement variables" feature where you can force any word to be replaced automatically. On my forums, anyone that drops an F-bomb will see "DERP" instead. In this case the owner/programmer wanted to enforce the use of OFC because users were still typing out O-F-N. damn this place!! I'm at work and want to try it out.....
misfish Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) damn this place!! I'm at work and want to try it out..... OFC NFO ONF ^^^^ was O F N OFC ------------- THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDNT CHANGE. Edited July 23, 2015 by Brian B
highdrifter Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 FishHeadRic was a real cool dude. Hope he is doing well. FHR actually put me on to OFC.. We were roomies back then! I'm sure he's doing fine... probably surf casting Montauk as we speak, camping out in his car... living the dream.. miss ya budday!!
Dutch01 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Wow, I've been here longer than I thought! That's me to the left of Spiel. That was a great trip!
