Two years at JoeUser

-or- thanks to all

February 12, 2006 11:52:33 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
While not to the exact day, it just hit me that I created this blog just over 2 years ago.

Wow.

That actually astonishes me. I haven't been a regular at any internet site for that long of a time. I usually find some reason to wander off and find new electric playgrounds. And while there have been times I have left for a while, I actually find myself feeling more 'at home' here than ever. I suppose it all boils down to one thing: The community.

I am convinced it is that interaction that has made this a site I want to be a part of for an extended amount of time. I have e-met some amazing people her, have learned a lot about them and some about myself. I have made some good e-friends, some that have even extended beyond the virtual borders of JU. In truth, there are just too many people to thank individually, for fear I would forget someone. So let me just say, collectively, thanks to you all, the JU community. You have made this a great place to hang out.

And thanks to Brad for providing this service (at a drain to Stardock). Having used many other blog services, I think you guys have created something unique here. Thanks again.

I'll have been here two years on Valentine's Day.....and it feels like I've been here forever.  I remember when you first came here and were telling us stories about your time on missionary service in South America. Ah, those were the good ol' days, huh?

Congratulations on your anniversary, and may you have many more years here.

I've been here just a little bit longer than you (since Dec. 24, 2003), and it's definitely become a place that I like to come to relax, unwind, and share. I love reading your stuff, and you never fail to bring up something interesting.

This place, it's great, isn't it?

I dunno when I started coming here to read. I think my create date on the user stats for me, 3/25/2001, is Stardock in general, not JU. My first article was nov. 2003, but if you count all the years I have been pissy with Brad, you can trace it back to '99.

Anyhoo, congrats. It's a better place with ya here.

Two years, huh? And you're in the top ten Blogs. Good for you, mate. I'm very happy to have met you and that we've maintained our online friendship. Here's to the next few years.

You know, I still have tons of crazy stories to tell, and some of the best ones involve poop. I best get on them.

It's amazing how time flies.


It really is, isn't it? Thanks Dusk411.

Glad you're still around.


Glad you are as well Tex. Thanks for your contributions on my blog and the community as a whole.

This place, it's great, isn't it?


It sure is Nicky.

I really appreciate that Baker.

And you're in the top ten Blogs.


Just noticed that today! Wild. I am sure it won't last, but it was nice to sneak up there, if only for a weekend.

Have a cookie?


Love cookies. Thanks trudy!

Congrats as well!

Upon my infrequent returns, your post are always some of the first I read.....

I noted in Dharma's 2yr article how JU seems to stay familiar even with the passing of time ( likened to a soap Opera, where the story line can always be caught up on ) it's comforting to say the least.
