Happy Anniversary!
« on: April 14, 2011, 10:08:17 pm »
On Monday, This forum will be one year old. My, how time flies! Many of us have been here since the first day. We are now over 1600 strong. Many have come and gone and I feel like all of you are my personal Friends, and some are like family!
I visit several other sites, But this is where I call home!
Thanks to Steve Good for starting this forum and to Russ for keeping us in control.

Happy anniversary!

I also visit a couple of other sites, but this is the only one I check into several times a day.

I think we all owe a big thanks to Steve.

Gabby, that is a lesson I try to teach my students as well. Every now and then they will talk about teachers being old. My middle school kids can't believe that most of the other teachers are old enough to be my parents. It is funny/sad to hear them talk.
A couple of my co-workers and I have an on going debate about which is better youth or retirement.

One is too soon gone before you really appreciate it, and the other, all depends.
Whoops I made a pun.

Having only recently joined I was a bit surprised to find the forum is just coming up to it's FIRST birthday!

I am a moderator/admin on several forums and this place feels way more established than a mere 12 months and that's down to the maturity, levelheadedness and friendliness of it's members. Bravo to all of you who have helped to make it this way and long may it continue.

This place is like a breath of fresh air to me after some of the issues we have been dealing with this week on one of the forums I moderate on. Talk about a baby throwing it's toys out of the stroller because thing aren't going it's way! SHEESH!!! At least I got to make some sawdust tonight...lol.

Larry I think a lot has to do with the format here compared to other forums, this one is user friendly and more personal, where the others are so cold and impersonal, this one is an extension of our families.
Thanks to Steve's good will, and the care the moderators use as well. There is NO FLAMING here which is a real treat. NO TROLLS either that I know of. I suspect Steve or Russ would show them the door in a hurry as it should be.
