The forums are 9 today!

Post by orudge »

Yep, on the 26th October 2002, Matt and I decided to start The Transport Tycoon Forums! And we've gone from having maybe 10,000 posts at launch (TT-Forums was a merger of two existing forums, for those not aware of the history) to some 963,769 posts now! Not long until 1,000,000, and now only one year until the forums have been around for a decade. Kinda crazy, eh?

Happy birthday, forums. :) Thanks to all of you who have made the forums what they are today.

Erm, if the forums where started in 2001 doesn't that make them 10 years old today? :)

Anyway, I do believe congratulations are in order. Although I've managed to miss most of it it's been a long time since 2001 and it's a great achievement that the forums are so successful still today.

Happy Birthday TT Forums!

Er... 2001... who said anything about 2001? :oops:

Although my own forum did start in January 2001 (hence my signup date). ;)

Reading this post it seems the merger was in 2002 and there is a simply typo in the first post.

Either way congratulations :D

Ah, reading that back, "... and it will not be included in phpBB 2.2, which should be out next year sometime probably" proved somewhat amusing in hindsight. phpBB 3.0 (as 2.2 became) did not, of course, appear until 2007, some 4 years later! It still feels like it was only yesterday!

Happy Birthday! Strange that when this place started so many of the things we take for granted now were just in their infancy, or not even an idea yet.

Didn't think I'd been registered only a couple'o months later!

Congrats! Somehow I think you're not 9 though :P


Also congrats to the forums. I guess there'll be a big celebration event next year? With a bouncing castle and everything :D
