FAAAAAAAAAWK! I have an excuse for forgetting -- I'm old -- but not the rest a youse guys and gals!! Thank you, Salopian, for wishing me a happy 22nd birthday.
Thanks for sticking with the site folks! I know I'm not around as much as I should be but rest assured I'm determined to keep this running as long you want to keep adding to it
Remember the good old days when there were all kinds of different websites like this with their own structures and ways of doing things rather than just a few social-media sites and even fewer companies owning them? I miss even just Yahoo! groups. I was in some really dedicated ones back in the day, e.g. for communities interested in certain far-flung islands. Facebook groups are just not the same as those or other sites that weren't intrically involved in much wider-ranging parts of people's lives.

Agreed, even though I have made my living from running twitter accounts (mainly) for the past ten years I do miss the niche community feel to the internet pre-social media.
Happy twenty-second birthday F.W.F.R.!
