It's hard to believe it's been a year, since i last read the other thread.

Me too, though I notice I never replied to last year's thread. Oh well.

I missed quite a bit this year, due to internet access problems and whatnot, only posting occasionally. Not that I post a lot anyway...

Anyway, Happy 9th Birthday CoN. smile.gif

CoN's definately contributing and unlike other places, it's always visibly improving. I think that's the biggest compliment any website can get, and it's defniately appropriate here.

Now, cake.

Seriously, this now makes me realize that this place is a bit older than I thought. I'm glad to be a part of it, if not for such a long time.

I meant to include a link to CoNHistory in the original post and forgot. It explains more about how it might sneak up on you and how it's technically older than virtually any FF site on the web.

Happy birthday CoN. We're gonna have to do something really spectacularnext year, it's not very often a fansite stays around a whole decade. The Planning begins!

Oh, jeez, why did you have to say that? We ARE going to have to start planning, like right now, or it simply won't get done. :\

We were "Web2.0 thinking" so long ago that we reject the term out of the simple fact that it means nothing! Besides, thinking is easy - it's the implementation that's a pain.

Happy Birthday CoN

Thank you for remembering us in your post.

That is all for now. Keep talking, this is about the only time of year when we can really count on that happy feedback to keep our morale up!

Whoa...nine years...where was I nine years ago...
(Cue whirlpool effect and fade out)
There I was a chubby kid with glasses taped down the middle, enjoyingmy first play through of Final Fantasy VI, which was 3 at the time and infinitely harder than Mystic Quest. Anyway...oh this internet thing...what is it? Let's look for Final Fantasy stuff...oohh...Caves of Narshe...let's check it out...OH!! Final Fantasy 6 stuff...cool...(end flashback)

Yes, I have been lurking for over 8 years and I finally decide to join in on the fun...better late than never right?

Happy ninth CON hopefully I can lurk for the better part of another decade.
