Happy 10th Anniversary, TCH!

[Image: 10thanniversary.png]

Over the years, we've experienced a lot of memorable moments as a community: some happy, some stressful, some proud, and some frankly a bit embarrassing. However, today marks probably the proudest occasion of all - as The Coffee House officially turns 10 years old. It's quite a stunning milestone - and it's hard to know what to say that would do it justice. The 19-year-old university student version of me from December 2009 certainly wouldn't have known what to say - but then, he didn't have ten whole years to prepare for this, whereas I have :lol: . So, all I'll say is that this is not something I could ever have done alone: it is the result of the hard work of a great many people over the years. This includes everyone who's posted and contributed on the forums over the years - our including long-time members who have been loyal for years; our early members who have long since moved on; and also our new faces which have emerged more recently. So, whether you've been along for the whole ride, or you've only been here for the past month or two, I'd like to thank you all for your part in making this possible :D .

Now, by way of celebration, I have already handed out gifts of 1,000 Coffee Credits to everybody who has signed in over the past five days. I understand that this is a lot; however, it's not every day that the community turns a decade old :lol: . It'll be followed up with series of exciting additions and announcements over the following week - so, stay tuned for more!

Thanks again to everyone who has been a part of the Imperial Forum (and, subsequently, The Coffee House) over the past ten years :D !

Happy 10th year anniversary. Now TCH is old enough to be sent out on it's own Pokemon journey. :P

Congrads, you started the forum during the death of forums and kept it going on though at lease one move (and a merge IIRC), that is no easy feat even in the golden era of forums, and for a decade no less.
“The American press is a shame and a reproach to a civilized people. When a man is too lazy to work and too cowardly to steal, he becomes an editor and manufactures public opinion.”
General Sherman

As someone who has been on here for what seems like forever, it's been a real privilege to watch this forum grow and change over the years. I really can't believe how far the community has come, how we've stood up to so many difficulties and just kept going on and on. And not only that, but the forum is in such a great place now, perhaps better than it's ever been. You're all a great community to be a part of - I love how we're all so eclectic but it works!

I'm sure we all know this, but I wanted to say it anyway - one of the main reasons I believe that TCH works is because of its owners. Kyng has put so much into this place over the last 10 years, and has made every effort to welcome each and every person who has made a post on here. I also want to give Nilla a shout-out for all she's done in supporting Kyng and also for her awesome artistic contributions to the board. You guys are awesome!! Enjoy the 10 year celebrations!:D
