Congratulations!

Pretty sure it started late evening 5/28 and I regretfully didn’t register right away to get the coveted single-digit userID and 5/28 join date

Pretty sure I’m the only one with this petty regret

We should find a way to make this occasion fun. Gamify it, add prizes for scoring and/or random giveaways for participants, etc.

The forum is really something that is unique with the quality of the posts, yet still manages to support a large amount of "noobs". The amount of good that shines through here is impressive.

Great post!

I always thought that Eli was a friend from before. I had no idea that he came forward through a comment on DDMS!

If this big idea fails, you can always just resuscitate this thread: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=60501

So how many people have all the links on Dan's article already showing as read? When I clicked through to there, I only had read two of the links he posted on DDF.
