What a great DAY!

I want to thank each and every one of you for make this an awesome launch! I never dreamed we would gain so many members and accomplish so much in a single day.

Spode I can't thank you enough! Great job setting up my server with MySQL and the V-Board. Spodes Abode is a Allied site.

Wild_Andy, You tweaked us into being and gave of something to look at, to say nothing of the Temporary front page! Wild_Andy is AOA Staff.

Betty has pumped us into over 50 search Engines and given us a plan for tomorrow's color scheme to try out. Betty is Staff and a true friend to us all. Compu-Geek is an Allied Site

Kris will be helping Wild_Andy with the front page and try to help organize our efforts in serving our readers and are Allied Sites come together. Kris to is AOA Staff.

Jeff gave me about 50 tweaks and suggestions that are already making this a homier place.

Fiber, NO ONE was more enthusiastic!

PC-Critic posted our first Allied site signature Logo and asked a ton of great questions to clear our thinking.

William joined our AOA staff and took upon himself a ton of work in the coming days.He used today to get some of us off the dime and start Folding for AOA's Folding Team.

To all of those I was just to tired to mention, forgive my sleepy oversight
come again tomorrow so I may better thank you.

This was supposed to be a Beta trial. But with a team such as I see shaping up here... Call your friends WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

We are going to TEACH OVERCLOCKING!

But for now...Good night!

Question

when were people told about this?
I just got an icq from william and that was like the first I heard of it, I feel so out of the loop, so much for me being a news guy
Any way I think this is a cool idea and I hope it works out really well.

Frankly Phil, it wasn't something Dan brought everyone in on. Most of the people Dan let in the loop were people who contacted him to see what he was up to.

I love it! We are an entity, no longer a concept. Thank you Daniel ~! with the traditional tilde. Thank you, one and all for helping get AOAForums.com on to the drawing board, then on to the erstwhile "air", which is now the Web!

Spode has done a fantastic job. Fantastic! The Forums run beautifully. I'm floored, honestly. It's wonderful to have a brand new site that I helped(in a very small way) get off the ground.

Congratulations to us all!

I tried to keep the number as small as possible in the beginning. Everyone must please realize that This was a step-by-step thing. I had to be prepared to except defeat when ever things became simply un-do-able.
I wanted to limit those who I disappointed, should that occur.

You can see how fragile thing were. I didn't even know the difference between a server and a desk top! How much bandwidth would I need?! All these things were a mystery. Most still are.

To be honest, the thing I was most uncertain of...Well...How well would I be remembered? How many would want to continue our association?

This has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my life.
