One year ago - The first post

Post by **Doreen Peri** » August 14th, 2005, 3:29 pm

One year ago on August 15, 2004, we opened these boards.

Here is a link to the very first post.
http://studioeight.tv/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2
Today, we have almost 25,000 posts.

That's over 2,000 posts per month.

Amazing.

The stats in the admin panel say we average approx 10 new topics per day and 63 posts per day.

And, in my opinion, the posts here are wonderfully rich. They are thoughtful, engaging, creative and interesting.

Studio Eight has become a solid community.

Thank you all for being here and sharing your artistic talents.

Well thank yous to you too dearie, for creating this wonderful, creative, intelligent and open community, for it is rare and wonderful, like none i've ever experienced before and frankly, it's part of my life, a part of my life I check in with everyday, I look forward to checking in here everyday.....it's meaningful, in a world that is rapidly becoming less and less so.
this is the real tribe here, at least for me....
And I heartily thank you.
You've no idea how much I thank you and Lrod both, for this site!
No foolin!
Happy one year Anniversary to all of us!

Happy First Anniversary Doreen...I know Clay was inspirational.

I consider this place home...it feels like home to me. Of course, I have been on a bit of vacation (a working vacation!) but I will come back as long as there is a 'Dor'.

You should be proud to have created such a creative community where all can gather and share.

Smacks to you Babe!
Love,
SooZ

Thank you all for your kind comments
doreen does most of the work here
I'm just her assistant. She changes the banners every day and maintains decorum. I just drink beer and try to contribute what I can.

That's why I took the default 'administrator' tag off of my signature.
I'm just another citizen here.

I try to add to the community like all of you other weirdos do, but just because I help pay for the bandwidth doesn't mean I own the place.
You guys own the place. I just sweep the floors.
You make it a community and I love you for it.

Keep the madness coming.
Further,

lrod

Thank you for your good taste, tolerance, good judgment and wisdom, Doreen.

And thank you for the personal space you have so generously given.

Including the space on which this message is electro-graven.

Love,

Zlatko,
