Hi everyone,
It was 19 years ago today that Deb and Nick opened the MIMF.

Thanks to all the members who have helped out over the years, either financially, through their volunteer work or through the knowledge they so graciously share. And special thanks to these guys who help me out a ton:
  • Jim McConkey (moderator since 1999)
  • Mark Swanson (moderator since 2000)
  • Barry Daniels (moderator since 2001)
Also thanks to Stew-Mac for helping to pay the bills for most, if not all, of these years.

Bigger yet, next year will be our 20th anniversary. Any suggestions for the big event?

Charlie

Happy Birthday! I can't believe it has been that long...but it is and has been a continuing pleasure! I have made great lifelong friends here. And I learned a ton and I thank everyone for the opportunity.

Congrats on such a long run, that's somewhat rare. This forum is a great place for all you veterans and us rookies. Now that I've found you, you won't be able to get rid of me. There's that too, eh? :ugeek: :D

We love active members who both learn and share. We all have something to learn from each other. Stick around for a while. I can't believe how long I have been around here. Happy Birthday, and many more, to us!

19 years? It seems like forever. This forum has been invaluable to me. I thank and congratulate all of you who have made it happen.

Wow that's incredible. I wish I could remember exactly when I first joined, but I'm sure it was 10 or 11 years ago. When I first decided I wanted to learn to build guitars this was the first forum I found. I joined immediately. I've tried others out and look at them from time to time, but this is home. This forum is ALWAYS open in a tab on my computer.

Happy Birthday to MIMF!!
I've only been a member for 3 or 4 years, but the members here have been invaluable to my Obsession/Job/Hobby. :lol:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members, and moderators for their valued input.

Hmmm...

Do you think we can put together something nice for Deb?
I'd be happy to chip in a bit.
