The time has come again :watch: and we're here to celebrate the
8TH ANNIVERSARY OF POSETTEFOREVER !
:yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:
Who can remember what happened on the 30th March of 8 years ago :mmmh: ? (no cheating with the wayback machine :bad-words: !!)
Oh well, I don't want to tell the same story every year , anyway I remember that I installed the site uploading the files with a dialup connection, at night, and that I waited long before buying the domain name, infact the name was Posetteforever but the site was http://www.posetteforever.100megs22.com ... The link was working for years even if we abandoned it, with a redirect to Posetteforever, but now it looks like 100megs22 is no more existing :dontknow: ...
I knew nothing of coding and nothing of how to administer a site and sure my inexperience had the cost of losing users.
I can only say that what I've learned is that is better to let the sand deposit on the seabed and think twice before taking whatever action, we could have more friends on the site now if I would have acted like that...
Anyway... There were a lot of little places like PF in the past, not many of them are still working, devoured by the big fishes. It looks to me that it's because they tried to take a slice of the market of the 3D industry and failed, while PF never was and never will be a place made to gain coins, and even if I toiled to find a mission to PF, today I can say that Posetteforever is made to share our friendship :hug2: :hug2: :hug2: and our hobby.
It cheers me up whenever I find a "Hi" on the shoutbox :D even if the day was hard, it's not like finding a message on facebook, it's more like in the CB era when I called on a frequency and someone replied :) , and the saturday nights on the videochatroom chatting with friends :blahblah: from all around the world is something that adds a lot to my life :friends:
It's time to talk of the future: who knows :dontknow: ? I can only say that a lot is changed for me during these years, and maybe a lot more will change but PF will be a fixed point.
I want to say "thank you" to everyone for being here and for your friendship :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
