10th Anniversary
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!
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Re: 10th Anniversary
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.

Re: 10th Anniversary
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.

Re: 10th Anniversary
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.

What ever happened to Rochey? He was a top 5 poster those first few years.
Don't really remember much of Lord Harry

Re: 10th Anniversary
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.Teaos wrote:*pours a drink to all those we've lost*
