This one snuck up on me

[Troy_Costisick]

Heya,

Is it birthday time again already?!?!?  Wow, these years are starting to go by fast.  Well, happy birthday Forge!  There's been a lot of changes in the last 5 years.  I like this place more than ever :)

Peace,

-Troy

Fuck.

This means I'm going to be 32 soon. I was just getting used to being 31.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Forge!

[Emily Care]

Happy Happy!  Thanks to Clinton & Ron, and everyone who is active on the forums.

You rock!

[Judd]

Yeah, big thanks to Ron and Clinton this year.  This seemed like a rough year of growth and change for them and the Forge rocks on, different, even more focused on its goals and evolving.

Rock on, Forge, rock on you two.

Thank you.

Rock on!  The Forge is the best thing that ever happened to me on the Intarweb.  That I can discuss.

Parabéns, Forja!

Almost two years I've been reading and posting and, while sometimes I felt like my brain was on fire, and other times I almost gave up on rpgs entirely, this site and the people here have changed my point of view permanently. 

Thanks not only to Ron and Clinton for keeping it all going, but thank you to everyone who's ever answered a question or tried to get me to be clearer about whatever the hell it was I was trying to say.

Yes, it's a great site. Thanks very much and happy birthday.

Man, it's been such a boon having the Forge around. It's like constantly scrambling up the bodies of giants to get to their shoulders while someone's already on your back and on their way up past you.

Thank you Clinton, Ron, and the other 6062 people here!

[John Harper]

Thank you Clinton. Thank you Ron.

I can never thank you guys enough for making this place. I never, ever, use the word "blessed" -- but that's how I feel when I think about the Forge and its influence in my creative life over the past few years.

First Forge Birthday for me. Very nice to be here.

Thanks,

First Active Forge Birthday for me, actually my second chronologically.

[Alex F]

Me also first birthday. The Forge and forge games have returned me to roleplaying.

I could have sworn there should have been a fanfare...

Anyway, I'm playing and loving it with anyone who's willing (and there's a surprising amount who are!). And also read too much stuff on the intern-et to be good for me. But still playing!

Thank you to the forge: the captains, crew and pegboys (you know who you are)!

[Andy Kitkowski]

Wow, it snuck up on me, too. I have to say, this week is like my favorite week of the year in terms of Teh Intarweb.

[Ron Edwards]

Don't feel bad, guys ... Clinton PMed me and said, "Hey! the Birthday!" and I was like, "Oh man! We totally forgot!" and he was like clickety-click activate-forum man.

So, uh, yeah, snuck-upping all 'round.

Best, Ron
