Title: One Year!
Post by: Slim on January 28, 2023, 09:29:44 PM
Between the Wheels started one year ago today, and we passed the 10,000 post milestone a few days ago (although admittedly, I'd typed nearly a quarter of them myself).

It's certainly been a year of change, hasn't it? We lost our reigning monarch, we lost a Prime Minister, or two, and of course we lost what was to some of us our Internet home-from-home when the good ship T-N-M-S disappeared beneath the waves.

I started this site as a sort of escape pod of course, and I'm very happy that we have some of the same sense of community that prevailed in the old place.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed, and if you've merely lurked, thanks for your interest.

Thank you James. That was a quick year. Hopefully buy you a drink one day for providing this enjoyable safety net.

Yes thanks Slim for setting it up and keeping things running. 10,000 post is not bad in a year even if you did post a quarter of them.

Thanks James.  It still feels like TNMS to me.

Will raise a coffee in Stewart's memory..

Well, another year has passed and the very least I can say is that we're consistent - we passed 20,000 posts a while ago (and I've still typed about a quarter of them myself)!

Thanks to everyone who's contributed this last year. Best wishes everyone.
