[Unsung Hero]

Welcome to the ultimate Celebration of our Board reaching
550,000 Posts @ FanForum

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph.
Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”


550,000 posts. Wow. Just wow. This is such a incredible and amazing accomplishment! We would like to thank everyone who has posted here in the past, and is posting here now.
Thanks to those who have helped us get to this awesome milestone! If this doesn't prove how devoted we are to Matt, than I don't know what does! It hasn't always been a easy road getting here, but through the ups and downs of Matt's career we are still going strong. We love all of the great discussions, fun times, the occasional dirty thoughts (yes I am looking at you Carmen ) , and the support for Matt and each other.
This is wonderful community to be a part of, we truly are like a family, dysfunctional at times, but still a family that always supports each other. We are all very very proud of this milestone and in shock that we finally made it! Let's get to celebrating, we have waited a long time for this!

{We about the Board}


My thoughts on the board (Carmen) :
It is hard to express how much this board means to me. It seems like yesterday I was lurking the board, and trying to work up the courage to finally join in. I didn't know anything about posting at a forum when I first joined, and it is so crazy to me that I have been modding this board for over 4 years now, time truly does fly. This board has been through a lot over the years, with loss of posters and the ups and downs of The Good Wife, it has been a crazy wild ride. I have met some amazing friends here over the years, including my amazing comod Jess, who has become one of my best online friends. I couldn't keep this board running without her. We may tease each other a lot, but that is the way it has been on this board for years and there is no stopping that now.
With how hard it can be to keep boards going on these days, I am so incredibly proud to be at this amazing milestone. 10 years is a long time, and we have been able to keep this board alive with out having active game threads, which is a huge accomplishment by itself. Here is to the next 10 years



My thoughts on the board (Jess):

Sometimes it really feels like forever ago since I joined Fanforum and became a regular user here on this board. Just because a german TV network decided to go on a weird long break after airing the GG season 4 final and I just NEEDED to know how it would continue. Which lead me to the current episode that aired back then in the USA. Wedding Bells Blues. And from the first one moment I saw that smirk on his face I was intrigued by his character, by him as actor. At first I only stayed at the german thread (which I opened MUHAHAHAHA) cause let's be real at that point I was really awkward with my english and pretty much hated that language But people were so welcoming that I slowly branched out to different threads which in turn made me like Matt even more. Over the years users came and went, I found friends that I still talk too even if they moved on from their life on Fanforum, and I found my crazy co-mod Carmen, who I just loved to tease and annoy 24/7. But I really only do that to people I actually care about. Yes I am weird. That is a running theme. Sometimes it is odd to think about a time when this forum will be gone, so I try to avoid thinking about it and just enjoy the time I have here. Cause let's face it, his board is such a important part of my life and I wouldn't miss it for a world.

I felt special because connection of goodness had been made through the time on my show.
I felt appreciated because my efforts made others happy"
