5 year anniversary!

[HellCat]

Today marks the 5th year anniversary of my spell at TZ. Half a decade...wow. Of course, I'm not the only one with such an occassion and there's folks who have been here likewise as long since at least last month onwards. A toast to the forum geezers!

Congratulations! I've been here for a year myself.

[Lord Dalek]

Well I'm about to celeberate my three year anniversary in a few months, does that make me something of an old timer?

I'll be celebrating my 5 year anniversary here in June. Where does the time go? :D

I had, without announcement, my three year a few months ago, although it might count for less if you factor in my hiatus. Early spring of 2003 was, for whatever reason, generally the beginning of me having any sort of internet presence. Prior to that I had avoided joining any fora, though I read several. That tradition still endures in my tendency for extended periods of lurking before joining anywhere. I really wish more people would avail themselves of such simple patiënce, it would spare us some stupidity.

Five years is quite a long time. I wonder how long it may last. Given how new internet fora are, it's hard to know how long a given forum may really last, or how long people will remain active on one. Will there still be a TZ ten, twenty, or fifty years from now? And how long will the likes me me stick about? Not important questions, but interesting ones. It's curious to think that various members here may move on from beïng students to various fields of employment. What if one of us really does find a job working in animation, or some political office, or anything, really? Provided that the said hypothetical member remains active in some capacity here, the possible effects are hard to gaugue.

Well, that's likely applying an excess of thought and fretting to the matter. Anything to avoid having to get back to work on explaining bounding nodes, analyzing island constraints in Irish, or comparing Keynesian economics against Hayekian economics or any of the other overabundance of academic worries I am now awkwardly beset by.

congrats. in july it will be my 2nd year at toonzone.

[Ryoutarou]

My 4th is at the end of the year...though technically I've been at Toon Zone through five years, just not five full years.

Congratulations HellCat! :)

Five years, time does fly by. Back then, I was watching Digimon Tamers on Fox Kids. Those were the days.

I've actually thought about this in the past. In a decade or so will we still be chatting with the folks we do online? Will we even have the same outlook of online friendships?
With regards to TZ, I see it going for quite a while. It's a great independent animation hub and it has easily one of the stronger forums online. The fact that like folks like me have stuck around here long enough to be having a 5 year anniversary shows staying power.
