Welcome

I've noticed guys like to talk guns, knives and FLASHLIGHTS. (And watches among other gadgets.) So I created this forum for us to hang out in. Have fun.

Kewl! I stumbled across this site from Brock's site! Lucky me!

Thanks for setting up yet another UBB site to take up more of my free time!

Way Cool I also found this thru Brock's site. A must add bookmark for my daily places to visit
Thanks

You know, I too found this through Brock's flashlight links. I can't wait till this place starts to rock - and if all the e-mail I get about flashlights (sometimes up to 50 e-mails a day!!!) is any indication, it probably won't take very long to get this place hopping.

Is it true that the CPF's first B-Day is only 3 days away? Wow! I am curious about how it all got started? Was there communication among flashaholics before the forums? Where is the party going to be????

Well posted, kb0rrg.

Just look at that - the first ever post in the first ever topic.

And notice that *Ol' Forceful* was a man of few words, even then.

We really should have some kind of CPF awards ceremony, to mark the occasion.

Shouldn't we have a membership survey, and vote on stuff and people ?

Lifetime achievement awards:
no argument needed regarding -
DavidW
telephony, oops, Stingmon
Scott@Tektite

and the illustrious surefire-PK.

(IF it really is him)

Who else is incontrovertibly a light virtuous dude ? Suggestions, please ......

Well, there are so many people here - who else should be nominated ?
(No politics please)

Most prolific poster - ??????

Best Lighting Museum in Welsh Wales - who would that be, I wonder ?

Standard LED - surely the Photon 3 ?
Best single battery LED - the Arclight ?
best Mag-Lite 3D - the Silver edition.

Most wanted for review light - Plasma beam ?

Oh, and looking at those low numbers, I'd like to welcome in advance Member #1,260 - Hi, whoever you are - welcome to Flashlight World, now at 10,000 topics, as featured on National TV.

This snuck up on me. I planned on doing something but never figured out what. I've been too busy with family and work. You guys come up with an idea and I'll do it. If it's within my means.

Boss,
I think we could only do an awards ceremony/thing by a mass-mailing of a form for everyone to vote - there are so many possible categories.
Is there any other way to do it ?

It doesn't matter very much if the first annual awards are a bit delayed, next month will do, surely.

[EDIT - The award for the longest post EVER, on ANYTHING, goes to:
Tim Flanagans "Tale of Woe", at Topic: Candle Power Forum Buying Group... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000422&p=2- ]

In any case, the 1st anniversary of the first general flashlight discussion board is a GOOD thing.

What about changing the name, or at least make it easier to find on a search engine ?
Go Go Gadget Flashlight suggested including a set of keywords: me, I found this site through finding Brock's page.

[ Honour Brock, him member No 4 ! ]

......but the "Flasher" connotation is a sad comment on the state of the world today.

Hey, getting flamed in and of itself isn't all bad, you know. Flames do produce light, right?

Sorry, Jahn, no malice intended, but I couldn't resist the joke.

Who came up with this ridiculous idea.

Who ever it was is really something.

Bad
