Happy Birthday, DITL Forum!

One year (and a few days) since the forum went online. Rejoice.

I've been here for maybe between 2/3 and 3/4 of it's lifetime, and by now I can't go a day without checking the forum. The mix of people and viewpoints from different corners of the English-speaking world and the way people get along here elevate this forum from merely an interesting technical discussion place to a happy community. Thumbs up! :hat:

I won't inform the Romulans of this breach of our agreement if you don't. :wink:

I've been here since almost day one. Ah to remember the high lights...

I remember the good old days, the TR-116 thread... you know your an vet member if you were a part of that :) .

The saucer seperation thread, which I think still hold the record for longet trek related thread.

The debates that just wouldnt die, Saucer seperation, Civies on star ships, MVAM, 8472... good times.

I remember the first time Rochey and I went at it... Voyagers movable nacelles... why cant he just accept that I'm right.

The launching og the USS Daystrom and the drama that followed, the OOC thread for that still hold the record for longest topic and fastest growth, 15 pages in 6 hours.

Back in the day when we still only had like 5 active members I did the "... of the week" threads to increase the amount of debate in the forums.

One thing that I like about this forum is that everyone can be assosiated with something,
Rochey and his wanting to militerise Star Fleet,
Seafort curb stomping me and Rochey in a debate and proving that neither of us is right and infact he is,
Tsu with his innuendo,
Dusk going up against Kendall, Rochey and Seafort on his first week here and surviving.
Blackstar and his genetically engineered Whales and debating Rochey on MVAM... 3 times now I think.
Reliant who informed us all that there are blond emo's.
Stitch and he bloody never ending avatar changing.
Striker the review god and ENT defender.
Deep and his fu*king QT's and Lakota class...
Mikey being the old man of the forums... :lol:
Thorin who gets called into any debate with physics
And Kendall our resident Military guy.
Bryan the guy who could probably take the rest of us on in a fight and win.
The Brothers Kennedy and their ever watchful eye over us all, ready to smite any who worships any other false gods.
CPH, probably the second most prolific topic maker behind me.
MetalHead and well... heavy metal, need I say more?
Darkomen and he's kick arse ship designs
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
