And so after getting the green light, Eli Webster created the DansDeals Forums exactly 10 years ago, on May 28th, 2008.

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

You sound like the guy at the Kiddush complaining how he's so poor he only afford to put lab-grown diamonds on his Lamborghini

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

Great idea! @Dan
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

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!

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.
