10th Anniversary Share-a-thon

Happy 10th Anniversary to all of us !

Its hard to believe its been 10 years. I wish I had been here from the beginning but am so happy I found my home and my family here when I did. 

A huge heartfelt thank you to those that envisioned and started this forum because if it weren't for you none of us would be here now. 

To all the staff, former and present, that helped make this a safe place over the years, thank you. Y'all rock !

To the members that offer help, guidance, wisdom, and suggestions on how to make our home an even better place, y'all are awesome and each of you deserve a round of applause and a cookie or three.

To the club owners, thank you. You go above and beyond by giving your time and energy to create warm, inviting, and interesting clubs to make sure everyone has a place to feel accepted and share what they enjoy.

Instead of the usual share-a-thon where people donate money for a cause. I thought we could donate thoughts and stories. 

You can drop a meme or gif that shares how you feel about the forum or just say happy anniversary. Or tell the story of how you found us and yourself. Whatever you want to share about your journey is ok.

Thank you to each of you for the part you play in keeping our community safe and growing in spirit.

Happy 10th anniversary to everyone!

I'm grateful for this site, the amazing community, and the friendships I've made (and continue to make here).

It's incredible what has been built together. The kindness, support, and openness of this community never cease to amaze me.

Wishing everyone a happy anniversary! It’s been a wonderful journey (even if I haven’t always been as active).

(I asked Dall-E to make a funny and cute picture of my above text and this is what it came up with, I thought it was quite fitting 😂)

I'm a newer member, but I came here as a refugee from another forum that got removed. I was lost, scared, and my search for a partner had been unfulfilled up to that point. While the latter of my needs still hasn't been met, and I wasn't intending to put all my time and energy into running a club here on my own, as unintentional as it might have been, it has helped ground me a lot in one of the most depressing points in my life.

 

This my time here thusfar might not have been as long as others, but it has helped me feel less like I'm totally alone and unwanted, and has helped me have a place to call my own, and I imagine there's a lot of people who would say the same. 

 

It is my hope that this forum can continue to be a safe place for people, for years to come.

Happy anniversary yall! I have some amazing memories from here but it’s the people I’ve met along the way that makes it! I still wish I held onto certain folks instead of letting slip through the cracks!  but hindsight right!! I couldn’t pick a favourite memory they are all good! Thank you to all the staff members for keep the place so awesome! Here’s to another 10 years and beyond
