Wow two seconds! LB is is probably on this website 24/7/365. I bet if he is away from RCU for more than a day he suffers withdrawal. No, I'm not trying to insult him.

No, he fessed up and said that he posts in RCU during wok. Lucky guy, I want his job! (I would get fired for misusing the computer if I was on RCU all day 
)

RE: How old is RCU?
Or maybe it's not a job at all? He could be an alien working from a space ship and selling idea's to r/c enthusiasts to see our reactions. Collecting data needed and playing us for fools....just a theory. He LB what does a guy have to do to his boss to get a job like that? Are you the CEO? I thougth I posted a lot....I can't compare man....However I have seen many informative posts of yours....they are not wasted time.

RE: How old is RCU?
What is interesting is teh lounge thread is not even as old as RCU, the lounge thread was only started june of last year. (Yet it already has almost as many posts in it as lunchboxer has)

Yea. How long has the ^<V forum game been around? 4 months. Considering that the lounge has around 30,000 posts, in order to have gained that in only 1 year The Lounge has to accumulate 82-83 posts per day.[X(]

Yep. And with us playing teh ^<V game as often as we have lately, I am very confident we can make that thread exceed lunchboxer's counts.
LOL, funny how we are are idolizing him because he has the record of the absolute highest post count in all of RCU

RCU Official Stats:
1. RCU was created November 27, 2001
2. Lunchboxer has the highest post count of all the members in RCU.
3. Every one who has a x-mas/santa hat as there avatar spends way to much time in the off-topic section.
Happy Holidays!

Not only am I a mod...I'm actually the fella who founded RCU. I sat up on the night of Nov 26th and thought "why aren't there any good rc websites out there?" On No 27th RCUniverse.com was registered and live. As they say..the rest is history

RE: How old is RCU?
Correct me if I'm wrong Mark but I thought that the site was from a merger of R/C Online and Flightlines. I was a member of R/C Online when the merger happened.
If you'd like to see how the site looked way back when, try this link: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php then type in this site.

Not exactly. The mechanics and timeline were like this:
I started RCU in 2001 on my own. At the same time my (now) partner started RC Airport. Michael (partner) bought out RC Online. In 2003 we merged our companies to wed together my marketing and traffic with michael's development expertise. Flightlines was never anything other then a very small player with off the shelf software and very few members. Matter of fact most of the patrons there were not very fond of RCU as when we banned users that is where they typically went.
