Our Forum is (over) 2 years old!

If you read nothing else, read the bolded below at the bottom of the post.

Holly fuzzballs!

On May 1st, 2014, I downloaded the forum software and got everything set up. Then on the second day, I sent an invite to a few users via PM on vgchertz for them to come beta test. Only a few days later we opened to the public.


This has been a wild 2 years for me. I mean it feels like just yesterday that we celebrated VizionEck LLC's 2 year anniversary. All of you have just been incredible and I truly love every interaction we've shared.

To celebrate, I'd like to look forward to the future. VizionEck Forum 3.0 is not finished but in the coming days I will be doing serious work on getting it ready. 3.0 brings a myriad of features but it's primarily focused on being easy to use. Mobile friendly, rich text editor(you don't need to mess around typing code anymore), automatic saving of posts as you write, personal assistants, etc. I will also be redoing the front page for VizionEck.com so that it meshes with the forum design and brings more people this direction.



At 200k posts I'll do the usual stat update, but here's an additional one for this special occasion.

Primary Disclaimer:

I, Pi copied and pasted what was originally posted in the 1 year thread.  I changed a couple words to be a little more accurate. There may or may not be a 3.0, but it will (probably) not contain any of the features that were listed. 

Secondary Disclaimer:  the "I" in the above story is being used as the royal "I" meaning not I, but someone else. 

Primary Disclaimer for the Primary Disclaimer:  I know nothing about a 3.0! Don't ask!  And then I won't have to tell you. 

Secondary Disclaimer for the Primary Disclaimer: Though I did not write most of the words, except for the ones that I changed; it is absolutely important for everyone here to know that Legend meant every word, and I am right behind him on it. 

It's been such a grand pleasure to be able to have you all part of the forum.  We really have a great little group going on here.  Though we are small, we have a ridiculously kind and wonderful group.  I am glad to be a part of it.  I legitimately consider all of you to be great friends, and thank you all for being part of my life (and Legend's).

Thank you EVERYONE!

I forgot I posted it on the first last year. I was planning to post the public opening anniversary on the 9th. 

Guess we're already 2 years old though!

Sorry.
You still can, I won't stop you.
