Happy 15th Birthday to Foreforums!

A little late due to our travels to Nac, but...

Although the prototype appeared in April 2010, I have always considered May 11, 2010 to be the day Foreforums began, because that's when we announced the website/domain:  Board ready for testing

For those not familiar but curious about the history, this is the post in old Yahoo Group that inspired us to step up The Group's Future

So raise a glass and let's all share in a virtual "Pourtravel" celebration for the best forum on the Internet, all thanks to you, the members who make it just that  ^.^d

Wow.  Time flies when you are having fun.  I looked it up and I registered on May 9, 2010, so I guess I have been here since the beginning.  Congratulations to you and Steve and to all of us.  Salute!!!

Where does the time go?

As I look back when we re-signed in '08 (our computer back then died and we had to be new members again with new computer) I never dreamed that the Forum would be what it is today. Thanks for all the hard work that everyone puts in to make this what it is today.

It's truly quite an event...... another interesting thing is, the values and common interests we all have besides the ownership of a Foretravel. Always great to read about the issues and the good things we have going on...... thanks to everyone.

Well I am amazed at how life changes for one can affect so many and their path. Thank you for what you have done. If this forum didnt exist I probably could have followed a different path for my self. We genuinely would have never ended up with our coach or would have been able unable to sort out so many issues. We have made many life long friends including ones we have never met in person. Happy Birthday. May there be many to follow.
Kim  and Scott

I bet your reach would surprise you how many people are involved and affected
