For the occasion I modified the logo a little

First post was Sept. 26, 2011 => https://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?p=1#p1

Snapshot at 10 years:

• 111,728 posts
• 8,521 topics
• 4,888 active members

Let's see if we can still keep it rolling for another 10 years... just for the fun of it.

Julien

Congratulations Julien many thanks Up for the next 10 years

wow it feels like it's been up forever.

Whoa, does this mean that all internet forums prior to 2011 were in CLV? That's crazy!

Congrats, Julien! Get yourself some cake!

Ah I thought we had donuts for something special, I see its cake now.

My sincere thanks to Julien as well as the members here for making this the best LD community on the web.

Thanks Julian for starting and maintaining this hugely indispensable site!!!

It's has been so helpful with the many members we can brainstorm & pick brains with and the database has made collecting and categorizing my LD collection so much easier.

Thanks From New Zealand,
Also a strong 'kia kaha' as the locals say

Happy Birthday to us!
Thanks Julien!
How many year 1 members are still active?

That's hard to say because the "joining date" on the forum is ported from the LDDb account.
It's possible to have a forum account showing a date before Sept 26, 2011.

All I can see is that among the 75 early users who signed up on LDDb in the first year (August 2002~August 2003), 18 are still here with an active account. But I know that some opened a new account at some point so these stats are not very precise!

Julien

I'm one of them... can't remember if I signed up on the lddb database in the first year or so, but it was a looong time ago... and still, it seems yesterday that I was actively collecting laserdiscs... time passes by very fast!

Oh, forgot to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to the LDDB forum!

Well done, Julien, please keep up the excellent work!

I joined back in November 2011, I never realised how new the forums were back then! I always just thought of myself as a newbie arriving into a well established forum; there was so much happening even back then!

Here's to another 10 years!

Is there a way to find the first post I made? I found an early one from October 13, 2011 Getting an HD-D3...
I am curious see my progression but I am still a newb it feels like on everything.

thanks for that that is kinda weird looking back

You can also use the self-searching "ego search" (top-right "View your posts" link) and click on the page links to the highest number

The month of the 10th anniversary ends today.

Reverting to the old logo!

Julien

Thanks from New Zealand for all the effort Julian.
For the decade and onwards!!

Thanks again Julien for all the effort over the last 10 years and beyond.

From a relative newcomer compared to some on here, may I just offer my best wishes and thanks Julien for the superb job you do in running and keeping LDDB on an even keel - its much appreciated!
