Well, vF and 2 years. All I can say is bloody hell what a change. I remember when I first joined here, I got talking to Marc and unfortunately, haven't heard from the old pigeon (some of you will get the pun!) for ages now. Also, got talking to Ross, and from previous places, Graham.
At that time vF was a small nice community, with the support board being less active due to the actual service working and not trying to kill all the various admins.
I remember when Ross but the forum into Maintenance Mode very early on when I joined, and Marc and I were speculating about what had happened. Rumour had it, Ross had created a new bug (later called the Cr0wbug I think! [there's a thread somewhere!] - Speaking of which, I called dibs on the next bug!). However, it was an update (in those old days the forum had to be offline for it to be updated!), and with that update came two new staff, myself & Marc. However, we didn't know entirely who was promoted first, and numerous times we argued (jokingly of course!) about it, I still stand by my thoughts that I was first!
Aside from that, it was just a matter of whoring a post count. Wait no, I mean helping out here & there. I coded many of the codes in the index now, including the actual index too! What would be next was when the server died and Ross was away temporarily (not on holiday, just away from computer)... so I had to deal with that. Rather fun, but got it fixed, and got me some shiny +rep from Ross!
Then came Ross' holiday - that was going to be fun .... he broke it in a way of... "I'm off guys, don't break anything!". Well kindof, all 3 of the staff (Graham had joined us at this point) were given suitable access to make the place run (and so we could steal it from Ross - but that never happened!
). And it did go smoothly, I think, although Ross did love to make it so that his logs would fill up the server. But that's a thing of the past.
I guess I owe an apology to Ross in the way things in the past were handled, and I know for a fact that they removed all chances of further workings with vF, but what do they say, you don't know the full picture at the time, or your blinded by the light or something like that.
So, I guess Ross knows, but anyway, sorry Ross!
Graham, jeese what a guy. Moving slowly from the guy who was made a mod (in a rather unique way if I remember correctly), to who is now (I believe, although don't see it from his unique coloured name) a support admin. So congrats.
I don't know what came of Marc, but if he returns ever, he knows I think he's a
To those of you who are new staff, keep active (hard to say now that 3 of them are inactive! >.>), and work!
Finally to vF, and my first 2 years... which were eventful, and filled with one huge mistake, but that mistake (hopefully) is in the past. So yea, bloody hell 2 years ... I need a beer!
PS: I still owe Graham a pint from a bet! >.>
and I swear I was the first one to join this forum! The only one that I saw in the new member was Ross (Obviously) and I was the second one after that. I strongly believe that I really did. because I bookmarked the site for later as the forum was in MM. So I wasn't able to join. The next day I took a chance, and clicked on the bookmark, and the forum was open, and right away I clicked Register, and was the first one to join, but wasn't the first to make a post. 
Because you're speshul!
