I'm not really an old timer, but been here for a while. Had some great times here and learned a whole lot.
Probably know more about flashlights than everyone i know.
I went from having top notch lights to not having a single one, it's funny how people change and 'evolve' into new hobbies and interest.
I still love LED flashlights and am currently looking for one, lights are getting brighter! :thumbsup:
Shout out to: Milkyspit, Chronos, Criollo, Dmcleish, GreenLED. (sorry if i forgot about anyone)
Had a FANTASTIC Time here, never will forget and will always be a flashaholic

Still here. Joined in December 2004 and CPF Member #7501(?) I think.
Has anyone else noticed that this thread is almost 7 years old? If you'd posted back then you'd be an "old-timer" by now!

I just scanned thru the "Red Shoes" thread and noticed that not everyone who contributed
got the red shoes banner next to their names.
Was there any reason for this ???
Just curious

What ever happened to bessiebenny? I know he stepped aside from CPF to do his own blog, but that died AFIAK.
I used to surf his LONG threads tirelessly when I first joined.

I was thinking the same thing! Good question. Old timers, any ideas?I just scanned thru the "Red Shoes" thread and noticed that not everyone who contributed

I kinda recall that in one of the big crashes or server migrations, the red shoes were lost along the way, but you could petition for reinstatement . . .

Thank you, daloosh!
That makes sense.

I just noticed March marked my 8th year of CPF lore. I guess I took a break from it for 2-3 years (I'm into guns now), but McGizmo bullied me back in to checking again, so here I am, dusting off the modding box and wondering what to do with what was something like $400 in "bleeding edge" Luxeons and early Crees.

Hey skalomax old buddy! How are you?
I'm still here, often lurking. Still have quite a few lights, but have built up a collection of historic firearms and custom knives.
greenLED, good to see you back as well!!! Gotta see those guns sometime... Believe it or not, I've still got one of your lanyards that sees almost daily use! Outlasted every other one I've ever owned. Hope you and yours are well.
Looks like I missed my six-year anniversary.
Donate them to new flashoholics, to help them appreciate how far technology has come?
I just recently came into possession of a batch of lights ranging from ones as new as SureFire LED lights to as old as ones that use two (2!!!!!) CR-123 batteries to power three 5mm Nichias (and the requisite 2xAA MiniM@g, of course). Yes, I was around this community back then, but still... to see some of these, hold them in my hands, and be able to compare them side-by-side with not only the lights I already owned from that time period, but also the lights I just purchased or received at SHOT Show 2012... wow. Just wow. Oh, and it's also cool to now have TWO EternaLight X-Ray Elites. (Sorry, but I already have a recipient in mind for the spare.)
Anyway, try showing them to some of your newer flashoholic friends, or giving them to some of your interested-but-not-yet-bitten friends, and maybe they'll catch the bug.

The real old-timers would've been here for a decade now. That's a long time to expect anyone to stay active and interested in a website.
