10th Anniversary

Post by Bryan Moore »

Did we miss a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the site back in July? Crazy to think I've known some of you crazies for a decade now!

The what's new for the site dates back to 1998, so the site is actually 20 years old :) The forum may be 10 years old.

Not just the early days!

10 years ago I had never left New Zealand, now I've been to 92 countries and top travel agent in NZ.
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.

I've worked, gained backstage power at my job, flew out to Utah three times, lost a brother and sister-in-law... Some bad, but a lot of good.

Jeez, let's see... I've since joining on here I've; added a child, subtracted a wife, quit smoking, been through four jobs, had three or four serious hospitalizations and two minor surgeries, and begun to appreciate the better rye whiskeys.

I was already gone before most of those guys left, though Granite had ghosted for years.

What ever happened to Rochey? He was a top 5 poster those first few years.

Don't really remember much of Lord Harry

I too often wonder what happened to them. Some of them we know what happened. Others just kind of disappeared. Forgotten log-in info? Tired of the population? A couple of them were since in our RPs.

So, if you're lurking, pop-in and say hi! Special 10 year anniversary discount on membership renewal!
