Very Special 10Yr Anniversary

Recommended Posts

It was exactly this day 10 years ago that the 17th real member joined the forum. With the exception of me, I think he's the only remaining early member from those early days that is still very active. He keeps an eye on things here a lot better than I manage to.

Ladies and Gentlemen - Our moderator, pillar of the community, informed friend, Charles I shilling nut. It's TomGoodheart.

Thank you for being here for a whole decade.

What!?!? Me?? Gosh. Who knew? (Not me obviously!)



I'm not sure if that's brilliant or a bit sad, but thanks everyone!

And don't worry about going to the trouble of a gold watch. A sovereign will do just fine!

:lol:

I was looking at the membership list the other day and happened to notice that it was your 10th anniversary soon.

And you deserve a bit of a fuss over it.

Where does the time go. I'm up for 10 years next year. I guess there must have been a few members added between Tom to me. How do I tell my membership number?

I counted manually. It doesn't actually mean that TomGoodheart is No.17, though he is certainly very early. There may well have been genuine members before him that were never active and deleted. In the past when people join and don't post anything for a number of years I have purged them (mainly to get rid of sleeping spammers).

Well done Chris actually. I'd say that, judging by others I've frequented, it's not so common for a forum to be thriving after ten years! Once the original enthusiasm and earlier members move on these things seem to dwindle and fold. So there must be something abut predecimal that people find useful/ helpful / fun or whatever, for it to still be attracting members (and not just those that drop in twice and disappear) after all this time.

So .. well done everyone! And in particular mein host, or should that be unser Gastgeber Chris!

BTW how do I get a Taxi into my motorbike?

I think Chris found the magic mushroom field in Germany.

No no, you lot all make it want it is!

Now that things have settled down this end, I'll try to be a little more active.

I bow down to the superior knowledge of many of the regular members here. I'm just an SE London street urchin who started this website on an old laptop, sitting in his underpants waiting in the launderette for his clothes to finish. 14 years later and my abilities for soaking garments still by far out trump my ability to soak up and disseminate numismatic knowledge.

I actually returned under a new name in 2009. My original membership was around 2005? and I remember people like Master JMD from back then, but I wasn't a very active member and cannot now remember what my username was.

The amazing thing about this post is the number of regular posters highlighted who are still here, nearing a decade on! Says sumfing! :)

Rather late to this thread, but it's been a hectic week in the real world. Well done Tom! Hope I can manage 10 years!
