In Case Your're Wondering...

...what this is all about:
   HAPPY 3000!!    
Today marks the 3000th day that the YaBB/SMF version of the Forum has been up and running (and on April 7th it will be exactly 11 and a half years since we started the Forum back on VantageNet).

It was certainly touch and go when we first switched to YaBB SP after VN folded. (Who'll forget how our first host kept shutting us down for consuming too much bandwidth.    Though we've certainly tried to forget.  )  But we finally worked out a lot of the kinks once we switched to YaBB SE and then to SMF as they proved to be a much better system and a much better fit for us. And coming in the not too distant future the forum will be switching to SMF 2.0, which is going to bring some new features.

But, of course, nothing would be possible without all of you and your support. Thanks for making these 3000 days of the Forum as enjoyable as they've been. And an even bigger thank you for your continued support of the Forum through all its years and various incarnations. We could have never reached these milestones without all of you.    And hopefully even more exciting days are to come as we look forward to the Depp/DS film.

Where has the time gone?  I still remember the old vantagenet.  And remember the ones that once existed on newsgroups and AOL (gone, but not forgotten)?  It all seems like yesterday.  Thank you to MB and Midnite for this seemingly immortal group that's proven the best (and that allows those of us to remember the beginnings to age gracefully)!

I WAS wondering what it was.  Wow!!  I really can't believe it's been that long.  Many thanks for all the hard work you've put into making it work.

MB thanks to you and Midnite for putting in so much time and effort to make this place run so smoothly!

I truly appreciate you both for giving us fans a friendly and safe environment to play!   I have enjoyed the last few years here immensely! I have made some great friends.
