John Bacon Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormdunker Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
