Hello chaps, Just a quick posting to introduce myself to the BB. My name's Paul Watson - go by the name of Ginger in my unit (due to a large ginger moustache). Re-enactor of 4 commando based in UK - have our own BB over here but decided to expand my horizons a little further. Mainly interested in re-enactment postings etc. but will contribute where I can with a British viewpoint. Off for char and a wad now, over and out Paul Watson 4 Commando ------------------ "The possession of a green beret does not make one bullet proof."
Glad to have you come aboard Ginger, I was hoping some more reenactor ypes would show up around here.
<font color=9932cd> Hello!!! My name is Nikki and I'm a 19 year old student from New Jersey! I am pretty new to World War Two stuff. My boyfriend <u>Ron </u> brought me to the forums as well as introduced me to WWII. I'm afraid that I really don't know that much so I'll probably do more reading than posting. ~Nikki~
For Demosthenes and Nikki: Glad to have you here welcome-spread the word and enrich this site. Demosthenes-just keep posting and at 11 posts, you get an award.
howdy all. Been around for a while now, and hope to get me some medals soon. I am a fanatic too, and as a 1st Sergeant in the Infantry, retired, I reckon that infantry rules!! ------------------ *** We shall not retreat, nor shall we surrender.

Blimey the first posts ever? And carl on the page...I miss him....I do try to perfect my aim but I still miss him....Kidding Carl come home now.
Yeah, this thread is one of the earliest threads made on WW2F, thirteen years ago. We were using something called Ultimate Bulletin board back then, now we are on IPB with vBulletin in between those.
An eternity, especially in interwebs standards. Think about this, when we first went online, MySpace wasn't going to to be founded for three years yet! There was even a version of WW2F in late 1998 on a free hosted forum. When I found out the company wouldn't allow my to export the posts, even for a fee, I decided to start my own site, and here we are.
You guys make me feel like a newbie, since I've only been around four years. Nice to know the forum seems to survive, no matter what. Exciting.
