Silver Anniversary

[Frayed Knot]

So November 1st, as some of youse may or may not know, is the unofficial/official anniversary of the CPF. There actually is no 'Day One' to commemorate, but it was on or about this date, in the midst of the 9/11-delayed World Series (the first one to go into November) that we stopped using this nascent site as a refuge from the increasing madness of the previous 'MoFo' site, and started settling in to make it our permanent home. And (doing some quick math) that this makes today as close as we're going to get to the CPF's 25th anniversary.

Wait, 25 fucking years????? It can't be that long.  Well this thread -- 

https://grandcentralmets.com/forums/topic/91228-a-decade-of-cranepooling/ 

-- still in our archives from 15 years ago today, suggests that it certainly is possible. The only sad part about that thread is that the links off of it which led to even earlier threads no longer are active. Such a pity.

So enjoy a stroll through the past, if you care to, back to the day when some of your grown or nearly grown children didn't yet exist.

25 years is insane. I love this place and all you crazy folks.

Valadius! All sorts of blasts from the past in that thread.
