How time flies.
Yes, it was ten years ago today that your old pal 1001001 joined TrekBBS. Ten years of laughter and tears, of joy and pain.
I knew very little about computers and online communities. I was on another Trek board first (I can't remember the name anymore). I honestly don't remember how I ended up here.
So many years. So many memories.
I have been a moderator in three different forums. I was even an Admin for a spell, introducing the Jeri Ryan method of closing threads.
For Old Time's Sake, Say Goodnight Jeri:

So many memories...
The Voyager Forum was a crazy place back then. da woim and The Voyager Babes always made for good times.
Staff chats with Lisa on ICQ (HA! I bet you hadn't thought about that in a long time!).
The J Team. RIP. And the Janewayan Party. RIP too. Janeway's greatness will never be forgotten.
The brief shining moment of the St. John Talbot movement.
Acquiring the nickname Digits. Not sure who that came from.
Late night porn attacks by another board.
An appearance by William Shatner. And the banning of Chase Masterson.
Whut?
That guy who was obsessed with Beverly Crusher. And the guy who was obssessed with Kes (she was brutally fired, you know).
And I believe I still hold the record (along with da woim) for most warnings in a single thread: 10. Oh, Storm Rucker, what ever became of you?
Like so many of you, this is truly my online home. I'm always here (what does that say?). I've shared my triumphs (the birth of my son, finishing my doctorate) and my troubles (the death of my sister) with people I've never met but feel like I've known all my life. This really is a great community.
So here's to all of you who "Make it So". Bless you all.
