Ten years old today

[Cody]

I note that this forum was established on May 20th 2004 - pretty good going, eh?

When you consider the ephemeral nature of so much stuff online, it's remarkable! 10 years must be more like 70, in internet time ...

Incredible that the forum has been going for one tenth of the age of the average forum user!

Activity has been at a solid "niche but hardcore" level the whole time. Congrats community. Plus, lurkers like me post once every five years or so but we keep up on all developments, so it may be more popular than we know.

What a game.

Well spotted Cody.

And a knock on the door... 'got a spare mug?'

Here's hoping theres at least another 10. If you haven't heard it today - you guys do a mammoth and stirling job.
Thanks for being here.

[SteveKing]

Err, I mean glass. After all it is good company.

Fire up the BBQ, Smivs - I've got some Cequququian shrew steaks in the locker.

<comes in a truck loaded with barrels of vintage wine>Count me in! What a great reason to drink, uh, celebrate!

And most importantly, to our Master and Commander! Here's to you, Giles!
