Or should I say from the start of the new board? I would just like to take a moment to thank, and chuckle a bit. I have been, for the last 4 months, reading in my spare time all the WIX posts in the WIX hanger. Also selected threads from the archives. So far I'm "only" ~4000 (out of ~32000!) threads in! Right now I'm in October 2005. Many of the links are long broken and many photos no longer show, although as I get to more recent times I'm seeing more working links. It's amazing how interesting and relevant the old threads remain. What a huge amount of great content this message board contains! Well anyway, it's quite a journey. As we round the corner towards 2012, I'd just like to thank all of the long-time contributors that I've been reading "in the past" who are still here. As well as some significant contributors who are no longer with us. Your contributions have been lasting. Cheers!

Ah,the nostalgia! As you say, some wonderful posts and contributors in the archives - some big names amongst them. Sadly a number of them, especially the European contingent, have moved on.
There are still a few of us 'old timers' about and I know a couple still lurk....

I've pondered doing the same thing...how many hours do you think you have into it so far to get where you are?

I did the same thing when I first discovered WIX. I think it took a good month + of reading during the slow days at work.
