Happy Birthday to The Bridge and TOM!

**William C. Maune** · 07-10-2003, 11:25 PM

Today marks another important milestone for the Toonami community and Toonami itself. The Bridge, formerly known as CNX, turns 5 today and TOM, your robotic Toonami host, turns 4.

This board is the official board of The Bridge and thus without Jeff Harris' site it wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be writing this, you wouldn't be here and we all wouldn't be discussing Cyborg 009, editing standards or what Dragonball Z character you are.

There are many great websites out there, but a lot of times even the best don't last five years. I must thank Jeff Harris for his dedication and it looks like the website is still going strong with updates appearing more frequently than they have many times in the past.

Props to TOM as well. He's been through a lot from Intuder attacts, to killer viruses and three different bodies in the last four years yet he still manages to broadcast the best in action animation along with the phattest beats (as TOM might say). Let's just hope his pal Sara shows up soon.

Last, but not least, I encourage you to check out Jeff's comments on reaching 5 years:

Well wwell well, 5 years eh? Congradulations Jeff, you're still kicking butt well past the year 2000. Certainly been an interesting journey hasn't it?

And a happy birthday to our boy TOM. The bubble head's manages to outlast a ship, 2 bodies and that weird gelatinous blob. Now get you budday SARA back on the ship and we can send Toonami into full hypderdrive mode again.

Personally, I think TOM 1 was the best TOM. He had the best music played during his time. I wish they had put every single Toonami song on Deep Space Bass.(make it a three disc set)

Oh, and happy b-day to CN:X.

That's intresting. Happy B day Tom and Absolution. Here's to another 5 (and 4) years of delivering the best action cartoons on the planet.

Happy Birthday, TOM, CNX.

....:sigh:...it's a pretty depressing birthday, if you ask me. I mean, CN didn't really acknowledge it, and you'd expect a huge birthday party...

Congrats Jeff and Tom

"Why do they keep on changing tom.... Maybe tom 1 is still alive and he'll goto the Brigde with an axe and brutally murder tom 3."

It has actually always been the same TOM, he just looks different. When TOM was killed in The Intruder, Sara downloaded his backup file into the TOM2 shell. When TOM2 was mostly destroyed in the recent online comic, the aliens rebuilt his body and now he looks like he does in his current form. Different bodies, same ole TOM.

And may the Bridge keep on rockin in the free world!

The Bridge is really a cool site for opinions (well Jeff's) and other things.
HB to the bridge or CNX and Tom.

**Nik Jam** · 07-11-2003, 05:14 PM

Happy Birthday to both!

**Parallax** · 07-11-2003, 06:21 PM

Happy Birthday to both! Here's to another five and four years!

Nobody thinks my Filosophy is true .... Owell

**Supernovametalstar** · 07-11-2003, 08:40 PM

Happy birthday TOM. Too bad they never mentioned it on tv. Congrats to The Bridge/CNX for many years of operation. May your servers never crash

**Osiris** · 07-11-2003, 09:04 PM

. . . I'm really going to have to work on that, because let's face facts.

One man's opinion just isn't enough.

Let me get back to you on that. I got an update to work on. Tomorrow's another day.

One more thing. Check out the front page now and then. If you got a 4.0 and higher browser, you could check out commentary. It's not flash nor flashy. But hey, it'll grab ya.

Thanks for the fun, and I hope we'll do this again next year. Later.
