Happy Birthday NPLSA.com
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:04 am
Well, NPLSA.com is one year old today.
It was a year ago (and a day) since I saw Nathan at Pooraka and said it would be cool to start a forum for the NPL in South Australia, and even though I was only 50/50 about doing it, it was very encouraging and said that it would be great, and the NPL would be fully supportive. He also said that a forum in NSW (I think) was started ages ago and fell over due to abuse and general failure of keeping the forum running. I was determined not to let that happen here.
The next morning (the 10th) I registered the domain name, added it to my hosted and setup the original forum. Sure, it was Pete, Ondie, Des.. and me really. Just chatting.
But since then it's grown to be a great little forum with almost 800 members - over two people per day joining. The posts have increased, friends made, and knowledge shared on a state level.
So, thanks. Thanks for joining, and staying around a while. It's been great having everyone here adding to the flavour and fabric of the forum. And thankyou to the moderators who have helped me behind the scenes along the way - impossible to do it myself.
There are changes coming soon, which excites me a bit, and hopefully it adds even more to what we have.
Cheers,
David
