Guest Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Today is the day 10yrs ago when Ken Alexander had the foresight to start up www.fishraider.com.au and since those early days Fishraider has grown in numbers and stature to what you see today. Ken ran the site very well until the untimely illness of his father stopped him from actively supplying his precious time to our forums it was decided to hand over the reigns to us and since that time we have seen the membership soar from 600 to nearly 22,000 now. We would like to thank all our sponsors and moderators past and present for helping us on this journey and hope we see you here in another 10 yrs time. To all our faithful members we hope you continue enjoying our wonderful forums. Regards The Fishraider Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks everyone for the kind words. There are many times I say to swordie "we spend way too much time running this site, lets close it down" but as you see we never do. It is an honour to have this community of great people and as swordie says "see you in 10 years" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikea Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Happy Birthday to FR and all who sail in her. The membership numbers say it all! No other site of my knowledge comes even close. What makes this site unique is the strict control maintained by Stewie and Donna and the Moderators. Whilst some people may consider the rules to be too strict when you look at them in context of this very much family orientated site supported by numerous sponsors who all want to get value for money they all makes sense. Finally, no other site has members that so freely offer advice even to the point of sharing fishing spots. Now that is great. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamestown Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ken is still Ken and looking after his mum after his Dads passing a few years ago. He hasn't wet a line for a very long time and is hoping to get back into asap. He says he still drops by every now and then which is great. Regards Stewy That's good to hear. Thank you.

Davemmm Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 WOW ten years. All you mob that run this joint need a huge pat on the back. I am always impressed by the manner in which this forum is run. The Mods and Owners deliver a great balance of discussion and debate whilst cutting out the crap and the members have taught me an incredible amount. Thanks for keeping it going guys Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 What a fantastic achievement. Congrats to everyone who has contributed (both past and present) to the continued growth of the site. Lifelong friendships, useful tips, hints for new fishing spots ... this site has seen it all over the years. What pleases me the most is the constant influx of junior anglers. I hope the site is around for many years to come. Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
