I registered on September 20, 2002. I’d been lurking for a few months prior to that. It’s hard to believe the message board is still here, let alone as vibrant and busy as ever. The internet in general seems to be filled with things fleeting, but not the SDMB. I very rarely post these days, but looking at my stats I see my ppd count is still \>1. MAN I used to post a lot here. Well.

Here’s to another 10 years at the SDMB.

🆒

Birthday parties are considered a subset of “post-padding threads,” and thus not allowed.
