Ten years of the forums!

[orudge]

Yes, today is the 10th birthday of The Transport Tycoon Forums! How can ten years have gone by so quickly? We've had all kinds of excitement over the past 1.03 million posts, and those who have been here since 2002 have witnessed the heyday of TTDPatch, the excitement surrounding the release of Locomotion, the birth of OpenTTD, and many more notable events. We've had ups and downs, but the community has prospered, and I'd just like to thank every one of you (except the spammers) for your contributions, whether you've been here 10 years or 10 days.

Here's to another ten years.

And let's not forget to also thank you for providing this excellent platform for the benefit and joy for all of us:-)

Happy birthday!

Congratulations on running a fun community for 10 years Owen. It doesn't feel old anywhere and the community indeed prospered. Let's hope for more of that and many more years of this community.

hooray for 10 years!
I've only been here a year-and-a-half but I've been playing TTDP (and then OTTD) for (give or take a few weeks) 10 years

[Lord Aro]

Indeed, congrats on the relatively successful 10 years!

Ha, 3-and-a-bit years in the forums and been playing TTD in various forms (on and off) since pre-millennium

(Yay, i've been here a third of the time )

Why is this site so steadfast?
Time runs deep when good characters cast.
Differences arise as they are want to do.
Fine tuned moderation prevents a zoo.
The games we enjoy are all so vast.
This site could do no less than last.

Annual donation to come before year's end, Owen.

Happy Birthday Forums and hopefully in another 10 years, people will still be playing transport tycoon in some form. Thank you, Ottd Devs, Owen Rudge for starting this forum, all the modders and of course, Chris Sawyer.

Happy birthday to TT-F, many thanks to orudge of course.
I also apologise for being with you all for seven of those ten years.

Good god, how old were you?

[Dave]

Let's party like it's 1999!!!

[Chrill]

Hah, I joined here when I was 13 years old. I'm now 21. In 2017, I will have been a member for over half my life. Good, good. It's very nice of you to keep us here for so long, Owen. I now feel old.

The World Wide Web has been around since 1991, so as of next year, TT-Forums will have been around for half the time the Web as a whole has existed. (My own site, now owenrudge.net, has been around since 1999, some 13 years out of 21!)

You can come and work for the Dutch government, they are going to do that the coming 4 years. The two largest parties here have agreed on the policy for the next years, and they named their agreement "Building bridges".

But on-topic: Congratulations, I've only been around for like 1.5 year, but I have to say it was all very interesting, hope to stay around for some more years.
