Happy birthday, forum

Post by Silurus »

I know it's early, but it's already 30 December on this side of the world, so a happy 1st birthday to the forum.
A lot of neat stuff has happened in the last 365 days. Here's to a better 365 ahead.

I would second that and would also like to formally thank all those who have greatly developed the forum in it's infancy. Next year, we're looking after a toddler.

Personally it's been a year of treading water for me and for something as sizeable as the forum to be succesfully implemented in 2003 is mainly due to the contribution of others.

Give yourself a pat on the back, but don't worry I wouldn't be posting a vote for your favourite moderator contest in the near future.

Thanks all,

Jools

PS We all love thanks, but I would greatly appreciate if you didn't post "yeah, your forum rocks, thanks guys" type posts. Instead, the recounting of forum highlights from the last year might prove amusing...

Yes, the forum has come a long way since 13:51 GMT, almost exactly a year ago. It's been a fun ride, and it wouldn't have been possible without you the wonderful community that built up around it.

Happy B-day!

Time to open up a treasured Strong Ale or other well aged sipping Beer! :P

As a fairly new addition to Planet Catfish, I believe the Moderators and people commenting have helped me immensely!

Congratulations on keeping this site as professional as possible. It is a rare treat to find a forum that isn't full of off topic and amaturish posts.

Hello,

Out of curiosity, I started poking around trying to find what the first post on the forum was. I didn't find it, but am amazed how fast some of the posts took off. The information was great then, and is still getting better.

Congratulations on a great year.

The forum underwent a major facelift very early on, and the very first post was on the old forum, which is no longer accessible.
