Hi everyone!

On behalf of Goldenboy and the entire Management Team here, I would like to thank everyone that’s a part of this website, either as a Member, a Moderator, a Manager, or who is on one of the Teams here that help keep this website going. We’ve seen a lot of changes as we celebrate our 16th Anniversary, but the one thing that’s always remained is that this website is by and for the fans. Fan Forum wouldn’t be Fan Forum without you, and we’d all like to thank each and every one of you for helping this website to grow and prosper.

I’d also like to especially thank the following people:

• Goldenboy, whose generosity, guidance and financial support keeps this website in existence.
• Raonaild, whose technical expertise with our server system keeps Fan Forum up and running.
• Chris, who organized this event and put together everything that you see here on this thread.

I’d also like to thank the following teams and their leaders:

• The Manager and Members of the Moderator Managers Team, who run this website on a day-to-day basis and who provide the Moderators and Members help and guidance.
• The Managers and Members of the Moderator Support Team, who temporarily moderate new boards and who help out when the regular moderator of a board is away.
• The Managers and Members of the Graphics Team, whose talent gives our forums here their unique look.
• The Avatars Manager who adds the avatars for our Members to use.
• The Managers and Members of the Communications Team, who add Forum Affiliates and General Affiliates to expand our website and who use Social Media to get Fan Forum’s name out there.
• The Moderator Team, who oversee the forums here and help them to thrive and who create the atmosphere that makes people want to come here and post.

My sincere thanks, and let’s all come together and celebrate our 16th Anniversary!

Back in 1998 ... Google was launched and the first iMac was introduced.

As well as the start of these shows ... Charmed, Dawson’s Creek, Sex and the City, That 70s Show.

And blockbuster movies such as ... Armageddon, Shakespeare in Love, You’ve Got Mail

Everyone was singing along to ...
Baby One More Time - Britney Spears, Too Close - Next, Truly, Madly, Deeply - Savage Garden

And the start of something magical ... Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Happy 16th Anniversary! Thanks to all our members who are always posting on the boards, to all the moderators for their tireless leadership efforts and dedication to this forum, to all our MSTs for helping the mods while they are away and looking after the boards, the Communications Team & Graphics team for their creative efforts on the site, the Moderator Managers who I get to work with everyday for their patience, support & trust. It’s really a pleasure to work with all of you. And last but not the least our website managers & administrative team for putting up boards and overseeing the success of this forum. Fanforum wouldn’t be where we are now if it isn’t for all of the dedication of everyone here.

Thanks also to Fanforum for giving me the opportunity to meet my online (and now real-life) friends for 14 years now. You all know who you are and I thank each one of you that I’ve met. Here’s to more anniversaries to come and cheers everyone!

From the administrators to the members you are what makes this site the special place that it is; an amazing community full of friends . This is a wonderful place to discuss your interests, loves, hates, and everything in between with people who share your opinion. Thank you to the administrators, management team, moderator support team, moderators, communication team, graphics team, and members!

Without all of you this site would not be as amazing as it is. Thank you to Goldenboy, Jerry, and the Management Team for all that you do to keep this site running; to our Moderator Managers, Moderator Support Team, and Moderators for being there to help whenever needed; to our Communication Team for spreading the word about how wonderful the site is and keeping us updated on all the amazing things going on around the site; and to our Graphics Team for all of your hard work designing amazing headers for all the boards and awards for the MVAs and Holiday Fan Art Comp.

This place has been a home for me for over a decade and I want to say how much I appreciate the work of the administrators, my fellow managers of the Moderator Management Team, the management team in general, the MST members, moderators, CT members, GT members, and members of the board. I hope we have many more years to celebrate this amazing community we’ve created, and that stays a place we can all come to when we want to discuss our favourite things and make friends.

That’s absolutely everyone from those who own the site, to the managers who work tirelessly behind the scenes, the moderators who create fun and vibrant boards, and of course to every single poster that brings interesting obsessions and discussions here every single day.
