This day is the fifth anniversary of the creation of this forum. As I recall, five years is traditionally a milestone to be greeted with at least partially epic celebration. Countless thousands of forums have flared into existence on this Internet of ours, but how many have had the fortitude and the members to keep them alive for half a decade? Not many.
We're not the largest, most active of forums. But we're a tight-knit, dedicated community. And I say that we take a moment to enjoy this feeling; we have kept this place going for five years. We have endured every threat that has faced us. Spambots. Expiring server hosts. Hostile takeovers. International entertainment media corporations. Twilight. All have fallen to our might.
There are many members of our forum, many honored posters of golden days gone by that are no longer with us. But we still are here. We've made it through. We've gone far. We're stronger after all. Let us honor our past by making a great future. And let's start here.
