Hello, I am nitroz(Russell) and followed a link from another flashlight site. I must say that I am very impressed! I get a vibe that this place is a much more relaxed place that people like to share.
I have noticed some familiar names on here. 
When did this place start? And who started it?
Welcome to BLF. This place was started on January 10th 2010. Here the first thread is.
Yeah, I moved here from CPF and only look back for selfbuilts reviews or if I become super bored.
Hello, Russell and welcome to BLF! The site has been up for over 2-1/2 years. For a little history, go to the bottom of the home page and go to the very first page of posts. Have fun here, we do!
Thanks! I love the simplicity of the rules. No nonsense and does not take a day to read.
Now I have to do my part a spread the word about this place.
Welcome Nitroz, hope you hang around for a while. Nice place here.
Welcome to the family, nitroz!
Welcome to BLF! You'll love being here! :)
Welcome! Sit back, relax, and feel free to post links and prices and let your opinion be heard!

Welcome. Think of BLF as the anti-CPF. You won’t get banned for questioning the “truth ministers” (“1984” reference).
Welcome to the family, Russel!! You’re going to like it here. 
I hope you will have fun here. I know I do
Welcome.
Hi! Welcome to BLF. We are glad to have you here.
I felt left out since I don't have a good way to welcome people. So I made this. :P
LOL!
Good too have you here Nitroz. Is that Monroe, La, or Monroe, Mi? I recall you from C*F.

Neither. It is Monroe, Georgia.
I like the atmosphere here, fun, helpfull, humorous, and open. Seems to be a place where the “Golden Rule” is sop. I hope you like it too.
