    Default Forums hit a Decade.




    As far as I can tell, the Australian Woodworking Forums have recently clocked up 10 years.

    Despite the sometimes bumpy ride in a few threads it has been a fun place to be.

    Thanks to Neil, the admins and mods for keeping the place ticking and congratulations on having what seems to be the biggest woodworking forum on the planet.

    Although it says 26 May I seem to recall it being created a bit earlier. The original administrator may not appear in the list, just those who created accounts. The admin account already exists on creation of the forums. Then there are a number of days or weeks to set things up. I am sure Neil can tell us when it happened.

    Clocked up a decade? What decade?

    I'm hoping for the '70s... (I screwed up in a major league way the first time...)
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Ten years well thats magnificent - i bet it was never envisaged that this milestone would be reached or the numers that have transpired would eventuate, or even be possible.

    So 10 years - now do we get a BLOOPERS SECTION - you know all the out takes, ommissions, deletions etc (then cliff and i will think we contributed something)


    Congrats & cheers
    regards
