It's hard to believe it's been a year already. It has been so much fun watching this site coalesce into what it has become in that year; a very friendly place with a bunch of good folks that come here and help and have a great time.

Having been here from the beginning like so many of the members here, I want to say it's been an honour and a privilege to see it all come together like it has.

Many members spend more time here than they probably should, and I think that speaks volumes for how good S-M is, and how much faith they invested in it becoming the best damn place on the internet like it is now.

To countless future years! Thank you Dan, Brian and Doug for shepherding all of us lost eSouls at Icrontic's end.

Just some retrospective:

Some screen shots of IM sessions from a year ago. What a crazy time that was. We were scrambling like absolute madmen... Insanity.

A chat log from June 3, 2003 between me and shorty:

Session Start (AIM - sarcnetbrian:ShortyMediaUK): Tue Jun 03 21:47:30 2003
ShortyMediaUK: SQL is crashin
SarcnetBrian: i just noticed that
ShortyMediaUK: This is bad
SarcnetBrian: welcome bacl
SarcnetBrian: *back
SarcnetBrian: well, consider it a stress-test
ShortyMediaUK: Im not gonna make an announcement
ShortyMediaUK: Will look ****e
SarcnetBrian: yeah, let's keep the member count low, I'm glad there's only 36 right now
ShortyMediaUK: People are reporting problems
SarcnetBrian: We'll consider this a "beta" launch
ShortyMediaUK: they dont like the layout.. dont like this.. dont like this
SarcnetBrian: How was your trip?
SarcnetBrian: It's 3AM mate! go to sleep!

Hahaha.. Priceless stuff... June 07, 2003:

ShortyMediaUK: I was a bit.. err..
ShortyMediaUK: about a comment u did make
SarcnetBrian: err... what?
ShortyMediaUK: The fact that MediaMan and Shorty honored me deeply by asking me to come on board is almost more than I can fathom.
ShortyMediaUK: Honoured?
ShortyMediaUK: Make us sound like gods or kings
ShortyMediaUK: Far from that my friend
SarcnetBrian: oh I know! I spelled it wrong! I should have put honoured!
ShortyMediaUK: no
ShortyMediaUK: not quite what i meant
ShortyMediaUK: lol
SarcnetBrian: I am honored, tho, really
ShortyMediaUK: My friend..
ShortyMediaUK: I am nothing more than a normal guy
ShortyMediaUK: with a moderately normal life
SarcnetBrian: well yeah, it's nothing like that
ShortyMediaUK: good
ShortyMediaUK: Make it sound me and MM are like teh gods!
SarcnetBrian: it's just an honor to be a part of something this big... I know that you and doug are really just toolios who got lucky like me
ShortyMediaUK: We did get lucky
ShortyMediaUK: We talked for an hour about this before taking it where it went
SarcnetBrian: who knew?
ShortyMediaUK: Doug said and I quote ...
ShortyMediaUK: jsut me and Doug
SarcnetBrian: It was a rhetorical "who knew?
SarcnetBrian: Tone of voice doens't translate well on IM
ShortyMediaUK: "Brian's offer was fantastic last time and he was so gracious.. even when Mort was such an arse.. we would be good as a trio with Brian.. he is totally reliable and a great guy"
ShortyMediaUK: usual MM overspeech
ShortyMediaUK: he never can just say "yeah.. brian is tight."
ShortyMediaUK: oh no
ShortyMediaUK: gotta say 10 sentences
ShortyMediaUK: Without everything you have done..
SarcnetBrian: hehehe
ShortyMediaUK: and all the work u and -tk have done
ShortyMediaUK: we wouldn't have a site
ShortyMediaUK: Or maybe we would.. but..
ShortyMediaUK: would it be as secure?
ShortyMediaUK: no
ShortyMediaUK: would it be solid
ShortyMediaUK: no
ShortyMediaUK: would it be kinda.. "well should work"
ShortyMediaUK: more than likely
ShortyMediaUK: I have no fear on our ability to stay connected to the world.. It's one fear I don't have in any of this
SarcnetBrian: well, you could say the same for you, and the same for doug... .which is why we do make a great team.. Without doug, we won't be successful as a "legitimate" review site, we'd be Just Another Forum Site.. Without you, we wouldn't have anything right now - no content, no forums, and we'd all be sleeping happily, and ... hey! Get out now!
* ShortyMediaUK gives Brian a platonic hug
SarcnetBrian: should I take a picture of this chat window as well?
SarcnetBrian: Seth would certainly get a kick out of it

This site in the last year... has cost me many a late night, a mountain of frustration, hair loss, turned from knowing nothing about PHP to knowing alot about PHP and so so much more..

I wouldn't change it for a second

Congratulations to The Great Triumvirate - I can't wait to be able to tell everyone 20 years from now that I was here from the beginning.

This is the finest spot on the Internet!
