In December it will be six years of the new-look forum!

Just shy of 5 years.

Congrats all!

That's endurance!

Whilst many things change one thing stays the same.

I looked back at the pioneer members just now - -

In the first year+, barely a handful of us were trying to get things rolling. Remember grasping at straws, to come up with subjects of interest?

Much more fun now, with different points of view coming from every angle! One of the many aspects of this forum that distinguish it from many others is the civil tone and clear mutual respect. I think we all appreciate that!

Well done, Splinter !

Haha. Yes, most of us were temporarily or permanently banned from The Other Place. Mostly innocently the first time, but after that, for sheer insubordination.

Funny you should use that analogy….

It's definitely a badge of honour to get banned from the other place. Wear it proudly!

… and yet, we all know people who were rudely banned, waited out the punishment time, and went right back to posting.

Stockholm Syndrome?
