The Town of Odyssey

Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the ToO has officially turned fifteen! It is amazing and wonderful that this site is still here after all these years! I fondly recall the very first April 1, logging online to check out Shadowpaw's advertised surprise, only to discover the best message board of all time awaiting me! Good times. I was just thinking about this the other day - me sitting in my college dorm room, wanting to check in to see the surprise (that ended up being the ToO) but having to wait because my college was having a weekend to have interested high school students stay overnight and my sister and a friend were staying with me. They didn't know that they were holding me back from my destiny.

The statistics below prove that there are a lot of dedicated ToOers who love to post, even if we're not quite as busy as we were that first year!

Sorry for the delay in getting this thread up. I was having internet issues earlier and it was driving me crazy watching pages half load and then stop. Lucky for me, it's a short trip.

Huzzah!

What a day to randomly log on.

Oh, ToO. Happy Birthday

We have made it to another year.

And I'm happy to say I've been a part of this board for 12 of those years. =)

Termite returns!

thanks to everyone who's made the ToO what it is

Well, congratulations. I've only been on here for about a month, but I hope to be here for your next 15 years!

I've only been here almost a year but cheers to the next 15 years

We doing it.

I have such good memories from the many years I have spent here. Congrats everyone!

Hey Danadelfos, it's been a while! I miss seeing your avatar!

Yay, 15. I wish I had time to build presents these days.

Thanks Catspaw! I'm glad The ToO is still around and hopefully I can be here more often!

Thanks for still being here, ToO!

I know! It just isn't the same without the daily reveal of what the surprise present was going to be that year.

Jelly!

Happy 15th Birthday ToO. Thanks for all the fond memories.

Quite a milestone! Hoping for many more!

jerms!

Belated happy birthday, ToO!! Woot! I've been a member all but 1 day of those 15 years. I'm ancient.

Barely come around much anymore...because...3 toddlers will wreck your free time. Imagine that.
But I have many good memories of this place, even if I don't get to post much anymore.

I'm so late! (But what else is new?)

This community changed my life for the better. People were welcoming, energetic, smart, and I loved that. I drifted away over the years, mostly with college and all that, but the experiences I had here have instilled in me a desire to treat people right, to share my passions with like-minded folks, and to love on people whether they deserve it or not. In particular, to those of you who have been around for awhile and remember me, know that I can't thank you enough.
