For those of you who havent been here for 10 years, this forum started out as the "Pet Fly Trap" forums..(I still think of it as "PFT"! ;) then (maybe 5 years ago?) it became "Terra Forums" and was taken over by our current Admin, Andrew.

Yes happy 10th anniversary! Thank you to Andrew for keeping this forum alive and going for so long. To another 10 years.
 
Yeaah!! Happy Anniversary, TerraForums! :woot:
 
Thank you Phil for starting it and Andrew, who has taken the baton. This forum has been educational and fun! I've even had the opportunity to meet some of our members, including Scottychaos, JBL, elgecko, Beautyreddragon, WickedThistle,...
 
Yay Happy B-day TF!
 
Yay!!
I joined in July 2001, by accident I was one of the first members here, member number 25 actually... basically just behind the original "founders' of the forum and their close friends. Phil was the founder/admin but he's the one that changed the name to TerraForums I guess in preparation of selling off his store and the forum (as the old name suggests, it has always been attached to a store, that was not new with me)
.
As I've stated before, when the forum went up for sale, and advertisers were looking to buy it (slather it in advertisements and let it go unmoderated) I felt like I just had to "save it" an my store was only formed in order to help me pay back the loan I took to buy it and cover the costs of keeping it running. I took control of the forum 8/27/06 =)

I'm still happy hanging out with all of you guys and gals and I would do it all over again. :D

But thank you so much Andy for making this place what it is!

Hooray! Here's to many more years to come. :)
To think - when the forum was getting started, I was making inane Flash animations with my friend during our independent study trig class, and my plant skills extended about as far as mistreating pothos under a single two-foot fluorescent tube. Ah, the good ol' days...
