All our thanks to the Ubuntu project, to ubuntu-geek who first started the forums and had them grow, to all the numerous Staff and Admins who have given their time and energy and most of all to all the members who contribute their knowledge, presence and really make what the forums are : a unique small internet spot that has evolved over a decade.

So :

I have been on forums for 25+ years. I have seen many come and go. Few make it to 10 years because of infighting with the admins or the shape of the forum and its context. Congrats. I will tip a glass of Johnny Walker Blue to you tonight.

This is true,or the Admins turn into control freaks and chase everyone off, or people just quit posting for a variety of reasons. This forum has stood the test of time for sure.

Happy birthday!

EDIT: Oh ya, I was 1 year behind so I have 9 years under my belt.

Saw the thread when it was made but wasn't near a PC I could log in using SSO so I would like to take this opportunity to wish the forum a happy 10th B-day. Here is looking forward to the next 10 :)

Pedant that I am, I think there's a typo in your post... a 'd' instead of an 's' (should be has 3774 posts rather than had - probably some more by now).
