One Year and a million memories...
 

There is just no way it's only been a year since this site was started. Too much has happened..

After getting left behind during the exodus from MP, it was nice of a little birdie (actually a veritable flock of little birdies) to clue me in that LoT was coming and save me a spot... :snap: :snap:

Right off the bat the the tone for the site was set by the guru of swank. If this was the rose parade the theme for this year would have been: "A Swanky state of mind"

Surprisingly few tech issued marred the sites arrival, with the able help of ISM and GD the site easily lived up to it's swanky overlay. :snap: :snap:

A few early troublemakers showed up to test the overall swank state of mind. Rather than scorn and banishment, their transgressions were greeted with soft rebukes and encouragement to improve. ;)

With the wicked properly swankafied the site rolled along picking up speed and touching on issues ranging from timely news and commentary to the downright silly.

Sure there were a few bumps in the road, there always are, but in the end the swank was always stronger than the... (What's a word for anti-swank???)

So I offer my humble thanks to each and every one who is a part of this community from the Guru of swank to Janie, our newest member. :snap: :snap: for all that you do to make this site what it is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LoT and many more!

Heh heh - you make me blush.

Honestly as I look back over the year, this has been the thing I'm most proud of. Our readership might not be so big, and our focus might be a bit ambiguous at times, but I think we've managed to gather some of the heppist cats on the internet here. For that I am very gratfull.

Thank you all, and Happy LoTiverssary.
:cool:

here here! a million thanks to one and all for allowing me to hang with you fine folks.

:cheers:

Great post, Moon- thanks!:snap:

I love our little internet refuge, and I can't believe it's only been a year since we began the LoT. Here's to all the Swansters- may 2006 be good to all of you!:cheers:

The story of Goldilocks comes to mind. This board's too big. This board's too nutty. But THIS board is just right.

I'm VERY happy to have our happy home that is relatively free of drama and dullness but filled with smart dialog, warm friendships and hours of amusement. I spend longer reading fewer posts here than I do on much larger boards.

It fits just right.

I still can't wait for Trojans to use that as a tagline... "It fits just right"

Always count on Moonliner to work up a link frenzy. :snap:

Happy Anniversary to everyone at the LoT! :)

This place holds a dear place in my heart and is everything I could ever want in a message board. Never has a swankier cast of characters been assembled (yes, even you, scaeagles.:) ). That you are all my friends makes it all the more special.

So many heartfelt thanks to everyone that made this place happen and keep it running smoothly.

So when do the bears come and shoo us away? :D

But yea, LOT really is quite an awesome place. Snaps to all. :snap:

thanks for the memories, moonliner. the links were fun -- the year in review! LOL

hope to see you in a few weeks:cheers:
