Today is my one year anniversary at Seven Forums. It's been a great time. I'd like to thank John for creating this place, Shawn, Nigel, Aaron, Guy and all the team as well. And to all the great people who make this the best forum on the net.

On my 90 day anniversary I got my Guru, Gold Member, and Supporter badges, all within 24 hours of each other. Kind of hard to top :) Since then I've been lucky enough to have collected some bling as well.

But mostly it's the great people that make this forum. Even with just the technical resources, and help, this would be a great forum. But add great, caring, friendly, humorous people, with very little ego, and that's an unbeatable combination.

I've learned a lot, and have helped a bit. Unfortunately, my job has prevented me from helping as much as I'd like lately. But it's still fun to read the posts, and jump in when I can. I'm always here at night, even when I'm doing other things. And I do manage to make a few posts :o

I'd saved some snips of events, and it's fun to see the progression. Unfortunately, I missed the before and after 3 badge addition, DOH!

Thanks to everyone who makes this a great forum, and I'll try and come out of my shell :D

I've got to run for now. I have to walk my dog, and have a driving lesson later :shock:
