One year already . It is still hard to believe that we've actually got a board. I feel like I've spent a large percentage of my time on campaigning to have a board here to discuss SVU or the franchise as a whole. So it is hard to believe that it is actually a reality & here we are celebrating our first anniversary . Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible & keeps this board going. It is wonderful to have this place to discuss all of these amazing characters & shows, rewatch some favourites, & even discover parts of the franchise I haven't yet experienced. Happy anniversary to the board!

Happy one year anniversary! I grew up watching L&O and SVU and I'm so glad both shows are still around and doing well. I love having this place to discuss all things L&O, our monthly rewatches and catching up on each other's lives. Congrats everyone on this amazing milestone and here's to many more to come!

Happy first anniversary to this wonderful board. Law and Order is a wonderful franchise which has managed to take us on many a journey as it explores different aspects of crime, motives, and justice. It has incredible characters who fans keep coming back to, myself included, to guide them on that journey through many unexpected twists and turns. This board is a great place to discuss those characters and cases with fellow fans, and relive memories from some of the earlier seasons. I hope this board is here for many more anniversaries.

Great work on the OP Chelle. Seeing it all together I don't hate my last minute rushed banner so much now. It wasn't what I wanted to do but it was easy with limited time and to me it flows quite nicely with the rest of the OP.
