10 years

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

10 years

Post by Hound » Wed Sep 22, 2010 2:02 pm

Just realised I've just passed my 10 year anniversary of registering here.

Many things have changed in 10 years but my love of transfans, (most of) it's members and transformers in general has not.

Cake for all!

Love the cake. Here's to another six years before the singularity eats us all.

Happy birthday Ben!

Not to mention people, if you can call them such, who preferred the cartoon. I mean!

Anyway - Jesus, here we still are.

And i have a lager in hand - timing.

More to the point tho - glad to have met ya Benjo :). Yay rarely updated and heavily sarcastic transformers sites

Me too. I came for the comic scans, but I stayed for the Furlove. And the sociocultupolitical discourse.

And because I can actually follow whats going on here, in tfw2005 you look at a topic and 10 minutes later it has 23 pages of

"oh"

"that´s great"

"I have 2 of them"

" I hate you"

10 years?

******* hell.

Jesus.

Well done.

I've known people here longer than a lot of people IRL. Which is kind of weird but not really.

Just my 3 1/2 years here feels like 10 years. I can't imagine what 10 will be like.

Congrats on not going insane...yet!

Hot Shot must be the only one who didn't come for those old comic scans on transfans.com.

Wait...

There were comic scans on transfans.com? Really?

Damn! And to think I found this place when Altavista gave me the url of the forums! Didn't realise there was a whole website to go with it.
