Obviously, a state of the boards speech right now would be a soliloquy to an empty theatre. But wouldn't it be nice if people turned up and logged on, and posted something to mark the tenth anniversary of the community that took over so much of the lives of so many people, for so long.
Even if it's just to say thanks Darryn, and Damon's Off, and "Soph", and Seethru.

That's an oddly timely post right there Kovacs. Back in the day there were many evenings I found myself home alone, a touch tipsy, embracing the TMO community. I don't often check the boards these days and I almost never have an evening to myself where I might get off with the Internet but whadayaknow, tonight I'm checking the boards and home alone. And the Seemo Project is 10. And you're spelling your name differently. And I'm a tiny bit spooked.
But still… glasses charged, eyes misty, one, two, three: to Darryn!

Has it really been a decade in the sun since See Thru ?
Top stuff really, perhaps we should have a run down like on Channel Four/BBC 3 of the high points and the low points of what's gone on here in the last 10 years.

TMO didn't so much take over my life as wind up completely defining it. That 'for so long' makes it sound as though the community's impact on people is fading, and while that may be true for many people who probably rarely give it a second thought... I'm never going to escape the fact that I got my wife and two children off of TMO. Its impact on my life has been massive and direct.

You make it sound as though there was some sort of spermatozoic whip-round. Fun though that might possibly have been, I hold you solely responsible for the currently occupied state of my belly.
I still love TMO. I never felt I was up to the mark with the standard of writing or arguing - kovacs whupped me with one hand behind his back on too many occasions for that - but it's been here for eight years of my life now and I wish there was more of it.

I still love TMO but I'm not a pre-novemberist (I think I joined about 6 months after, although I was going to Seethru pretty much from th start).
I still check in every day or so and it's sad to see the "No new posts today" message. Posts: 4934

I joined (Seethru) around the same sort of time as Thorn and Cherry, and fish I think. Not sure when that was - I'm pretty sure it was after the whole 9-11 thing, but not much after... It's hard to work out, I remember a while after the event, reading through the Seethru thread of 9-11 as it happened, it was promoted to the first page of Seethru I think, but I don't think I was a member then. I didn't join up straight away anyhow, I kind of visited Seethru quite a few times and then found the bulletin board, and then started reading that, before, heart pounding, I registered and made my first weak post. What an amazing thrill it was to have someone respond to it! What a total virgin n00bie I was back then...
TMO started about Feb/March 2002? So if that's right I wasn't even on Seethru for for a year before it all went tits up and the mass migration to TMO happened.

The best thing that ever happened on TMO was BOBO!

Thanks for the warning that the image archive still contains Thorn's backside. It makes it easier for me to avoid spending time browsing.
Still, it's been an interesting journey over the span of a decade. For me at least. Less so for the rest of you who have probably spent at least the last nine and a half years wondering when I'd fuck off already.
Happy birthday seemo.

Some of those images make me laugh despite not knowing what they're about. I had to stop looking at them at work due to their NSFW-eque lucky dip effect.
