happy birthday, buffyforums

[llywela]

Where does time go? I swear, it has wings. A lot has happened in the last couple of years, and yet it feels like no time at all.

Is it really two years ago that a ragtag band of cyber-refugees from an active yet crippled forum whose owner had given up on it came together once more at a brand new home? Doesn't seem possible that it could have been that long!

Huge thanks are due to nikkimisplaced for bringing the community back together at the shiny new BuffyForums - where so much more than the buffyverse is discussed on a daily basis. You'll find people ready and willing to talk about just about any show under the sun, in fact. There's also a thriving fanart community at the forum, sections for fanfic and games...and members who hit a certain post count find themselves promoted to VIP, which brings with it a whole new set of posting privileges.

Happy Birthday, BuffyForums - two years old today.

There will be party activities going on in the Misc section of the forum all day - why not drop in and join us?




...and hopefully this year's celebrations won't suffer any host/server hiccups like last year's did.

*shrugs* we're awesome, is all. Lol. Seriously, how did one little web address become such a hub in so many people's lives?!

It's because we are such a nice little community :)

I think I joined ages ago, but I really miss talking about BTVS so I am going to rejoin today. Thanks for pointing this out! I'll try and stay this time (if I even joined before!)

I remember you being a member before, Steven! Can't remember if it was before or after the move from the other forum, though. It's worth sticking around and seeing if you can hit the magic 400 posts that promote you to VIP...

Well I have just rejoined - it was so long ago, it probably was the old forum!

Just about to introduce myself. Are the forums quite busy?!

[llywela13.livejournal.com]

The forums are pretty busy, yeah - there usually seems to be discussion going on. Depends what you want to talk about, really. I'm actually really bad at going into the debate threads these days! Spend too much time in the VIP zone instead. *G*

I'm rarely around on Buffyforums any more and sadly don't have enough time to join the party today, but the community still means a lot to me, and I'm so glad it's still going strong. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Hey, Ros. Shame you can't make the party - and an even bigger shame you are around so little. Always good to see you. *hugs*

I remember when my post count actually reached 4 digits (now I'm lucky that my post count has three digits). I was so proud and then the forum went poo poo. It was a shock but I'm so glad BFN has gotten us all through the transition.

Yeah, the demise of BW was not much fun - especially for those who'd been around long enough to have a lot invested in the place. It's fab to have BF and be able to rebuild afresh, though.
