I'd like to say a big thank you to all the members here, those who have made this place the fantastic place it is with such a warm feeling and the ability to talk about such diverse subjects so candidly whilst being sensible when needed and always engaging and amusing.
In out short life we've had 200 users
18 of whom have never posted
29 more who have less than 10 posts
and right now we have 128 active users; that's users that have logged on in the last 8 weeks
That means that over two years or so we've only lost about 25 members and many of those had relatively low post counts and never got into the BD 'thing'.
You've arranged meets all over the country and given others the chance to visit places they may never have gone, help each other in times of stress both materially and with moral support.
I think thats pretty amazing myself, there is no doubt that our membership does indeed rock!
So a big thank you to all of you for making this place what it is and what I hope it will continue to be.
Give yourselves a big :hugs:

Awwwww :) Thats awesome i noticed the whole 200th person t'other day :)
Ineed to try and get more pro active with the meets...!
I concur with the sentiments said by the big guy.
Thank you to all of you, not only for your help and support, but for your kindness, generosity and selflessness. Not only this but generally the new friendships that have emerged, the personal guidance and support you've offered yourselves and others and even me.
New relationships forged, new friendships developed, and in spite of disagreements a maturity and sensibility that I'd expect not only from my friends but from the human race.
You are all wonderful, caring people and I think I'd be very much unhappier without you lot to turn to. :)
:lubu:
:hugs:
The future's bright. The future's BD. :D

Thanks everyone, and a big well done to those who helped put this place together and make it what it is.
*Group hug*
That smiley has freakishly long arms and it scares me.
You even like me despite being a French/Cypriot/English mongrel! :o

Lets have a special 2nd birthday meet this year :)
Well said MB. We've had our ups and downs here but we're still around with a nice close knit group of people who are still open enough to welcome new people in to the group as well :)
I was only thinking yesterday how much I miss being involved here to the level I used to be. Miss you guys xx
I might not get as involved as most people (all these southern meets!) but i certainly appreciate being a part of this place :)

Yes! Weekend after this one is my weekend off :D I've nearly finished training so will be on a steady shift pattern soon, hopefully things will settle down and I'll have a bit of a life again!!
And Huddy considering you probably see more of my kids than I do I can't understand how I havent seen you yet :( Ridiculous! (or excellent planning on your part ;) )
You bunch of poofters! ;)
Seriously though, you guys are FAB and I would be lost without you lot xxx
*hugs*

You forgot hairy :p
I know I haven't been posting much the last month or 2 and I've missed it a bit :( One thing I never questioned though is that when I'm not dead on my feet that I'll be welcomed back with open arms :)

Even though i'm new here and it seems a landmark with being the 200th member it is nice to see all the old names again :)
I will do my best never to live up the landmark part, be my usual geeky self, post my own humour as always even if people dont get it and generally be me. You must now all be wondering if it was wise Feek inviting me here i might drive you all mad :p

I'd like to Thank Mother Teresa, Jesus & the Pope, I'd also like to Thank our Sponsors & back up crew without which this whole Institution which is BD would not exist.
I'd also like to thank Cadburys for there chocolate & God himself for women :withstupid:
Today work has pushed my stress levels to the point where they're admiring the atmosphere and there doesn't seem to be any chance of it getting better over the next few weeks at least; I've just taken a few minutes to re-read this thread and its made me smile and de-clench my teeth :) I know where my friends are when I need them :)
You even like me despite being a French/Cypriot/English mongrel! :o
As Meatloaf would say "2 out of 3 ain't bad" ;D
