If I'm correct in my reckoning, it's three years today that poor old Domebo began its cursed life.
Well, things could have gone better, but what the heck. I've made friends here, which I never did at the Dope, and to my friends I say "Happy Domebo Day!"
Well Happy Domebo Day indeed. Nice little place, much quieter then the other bar I hang out at. I followed I think CIAS & Malacandra over here pretty early. It helped that Silenus, RickJay, Cluricaun, WhyNot and Danceswithcats were here too. Elendil's Heir and I exchanged some PM's about the place but I think he came over later. I still hope some others will either wander back or some new people will wander in. It was good to see members I already knew and liked from the dope.
I feel closer to the regulars here then I do those only on the Dope. It is a small community we have at this point. I'm trying to remember if I invited Sarahfeena & OneCentStamp about DoMeBo or not. I think I did but they may have already known. I'm really happy I got to know the rest of you a lot better.
Happy Day! Yes, it was you, What Exit?, who invited me, and at the time you did, I had not posted to the SDMB in months. It's been nice to get to know some of you much better.
I like what we've settled into: no flames, no drama, just the quiet neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name.
:dumbo::dumbo::dumbo::dumbo:
I don't think anyone ever invited me, I just wandered over ...
I'm sure I just gatecrashed :)

I was forced here by Zuul. Very much against my will.
Were you ever over at the other board?Quote:

That might sound ungrateful of me but really it was one PM that made me come and a communal effort that made me stay.
Less-than-three to you all.
Yup, 26th Feb is the date and it has been three years.
I kinda like it here. I think I'll stick around for the next three at least. :D
Nope!Quote:

Quite a few people filtered themselves out. Some of them are actually people I keep contact with elsewhere; others are not. But uniformly, the atmosphere here is cool in their absence.Quote:

Three years? It seems like only yesterday. Yesterday with more people around, of course, but still only yesterday.
Happy Domebo Day!
And artifex and I actually got to meet you in person, which thing would never have happened if not for our little board! :DQuote:

Happy birthday, Domebo! :dumbo:
That was fun! Even if I had to endure lectures from my mother about the dangers of meeting people from the internet in order to do it. I think she may have been mildly disappointed that you didn't turn out to be murderous lunatics who committed a heinous crime against me, just so she could say, "I told you so."Quote:

I think the only active Mellos I have met is Elendil's Heir. Maybe someday I'll have an excuse to meet more of you. The last Dopefest I hosted had some DoMeBo members attend but they have since drifted off.
I'm pretty sure I spent our third anniversary curled up on Marsilia's couch and mumbling about beagles eating my feet. The days got a little fuzzy there while I was sick. I kind of feel like Sleeping Beauty trying to figure out what century it is now. Alas, I'd hoped to actually celebrate this anniversary with you guys.
There have been some ups and downs, but I am absurdly grateful for the existence of Mello. I've met some wonderful people here, several of whom have actually changed my life. Where I was three years ago is so absurdly different from where I am today and this place has been here through it all. It's been a wild and crazy ride all around.
Thanks, Mellos, for being awesome. :dumbo:
That people on a tiny little tardboard can change someone's life (for the better, right? right?) says something about the power of our actions, even in the twilight reality of cyberspace.
We all ought to try to be good to each other, even when we're hitting the keys on a keyboard.
Quite so. I shall always do my best.
That tickles my quote-appreciation bone.Quote:
