Can someone post a WB history. How it started, the idea start and success or if its already up, direct me to the read. thanks.
 
If you look at my profile page you'll see the brief explanation, and it pretty well covers it.

I started Wood Barter out of a desire to increase my own personal wood collection from around the world. Little did I know I'd meet so many other wood addicts and create competition for myself! :rolleyes:

But better than increasing my wood collection, the new friends I have made have turned out to be the real treasures.


Not much to it really. :whatever:
 
I also wondered how WB started, because some of you have that Founding member ribbon ? Where did you guys meet ?
 
Tom, I had initially said that the first 10 members to join would be founders. Then, I saw it needed to be bigger because I saw from the group of that 10 most weren't going to remain active. So I bumped it to 25 and then 50 that same day. After we were approaching 100 members, I decided 100 was going to be the magic number because there was so many members over the 50 mark that I wanted as founders. Most of the founders came from wood working talk where I had been a moderator for 5 years or so. I had asked fr opinions there in this thread when I was still a moderator. Once I launched WB I resigned my WWT mod duties so I could focus all my energy here.

:treehugger:
