What are your plans for the 10th anniversary of TPF?
This year is special for TPF members: the site turns 10 years old. :party: :party:
I think it would be worth celebrating. I don't know what to do and Im clumsy organising ceremonies or celebrations, yet I already feel nervous because I have a weird attraction to anniversaries.
I am here if help is needed.
What do you up to the 10th anniversary of TPF?
:chin:
Although the anniversary is in October, you know that preparation for major things takes time. :cool:

What do you up to the 10th anniversary of TPF?
- A group call on Discord?
- An online cheers with champagne glasses?
- A big pan of paella to everyone?

Well, I did not know that.

Yes, indeed.

Erm...I celebrate each and every day. With a big YAY! to @Jamal, team and members.

What date in October? I'll put it in my diary.

Excellent. @Jamal are you listening? It's your party! :party:
I could be mistaken because my guesses are based on pure investigation. I think it is on October 20th. Jamal started a thread about testing the site on that date. If not, I believe it is closer to the end of October.

I really like your attitude towards life, Amity. Always seeing the positive part! :sparkle:
Thanks, it ain't always easy, as you know.
Why be a misery guts? Yer a lang time deid!
¡A la vida! :cool:
Some ideas:
Great! New York City is a lovely city. :smile:

The Shoutbox is already chaotic. We can go there just in case we don't depose the mods!

Oh, nada. My favourite.

I agree. Jamal deserves it; either with British pounds or Russian rubles.

I don't know what double-secret probation is but I think @Hanover will be one of the special guests in the 10th anniversary ceremony.
October 20th, 2015: I remember it well. At my desk in the chateau perched on a mountaintop just inland from Nice, one arm broken (mountain bike accident) and struggling to type with one hand. The weather was clear and fresh.
2 * 0 = 0 :grin:
¡Viva! :party: :party: :grin:
Just over a month to go pals... :cool:
I think we might celebrate doing something. and all.
Gracias, señor.
De nada, tío Proof. :cool:
Quoting javi2541997But nothing!!! That's a crime!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TPF!!!
Over the weekend, almost seven million people in several thousand communities here in the US got together to celebrate our anniversary...among other things.
Oh! I was wondering why some of those gatherings were called "No AI Philosopher King Protests!"
Yes, we Americans are a philosophical bunch.
I knew you would not disappoint me. :cool:
Huh, what? Oh, wow! :party: :heart:
Ten years already! Although I am not one of the Emeritus Fathers-founders of TPF, nor have I been here since the beginning, I embrace your feelings about the ten-year milestone. :smile: :party:
Regardless of when you joined, you embody the indomitable, ineffable spirit of TFP, javi, which is what's most important. :strong:
Joining here and becoming a contributor to The Shoutbox was one of the greatest decisions I made in the last few years.
The intensity of the Shoutbox's black box potential (its complete "virtual past" as pure undercurrent) has reached levels where I daren't reenter without superhuman levels of creative power.
But you are already super creative, Baden!
How can't you dare to re-enter? What would Wolfgang say in your absence? What about the short-story activity? You have always shown a tremendous skill in creativity there.
I kind of need Susan Sarandon's permission. It's a long story but my theory is she invented the thing channelling energy through @jamal and his predecessors. My mission is to get her crowned President of the Earth in order to be worthy of her creation. :pray:
Wow! This sounds incredibly magical and worthy to pursue. I don't know how to help you with Susan Sarandon's permission (perhaps @Jamal does), but don't doubt for a second that I will be by your side, friend. :cool:
Thank goodness. :starstruck:
I'd like to thank those who now for a decade have given their time to this forum, and hence given me this wonderful forum to discuss interesting topics with smart interesting people. Thank you for keeping it as it has been (thanks for all the mods and admins) and not letting this wither away.
Thanks especially to @Baden. I don't know how many "old-timers" there are (a few I have noticed) that were even on the old earlier Philosophy forum. When that came to an end, it's thanks to you that the forum transformed it to a new one and far more better one.
Looking forward to the next 10 years! :grin: :hearts: :up:

Happy anniversary everyone! When we started we were worried about getting new members. Now, we're worried about having too many. That is progress of a sort.
It's been a wild ride. Well, maybe "wild" is putting it too strongly. How about...mostly enjoyable. It's been a mostly enjoyable ride, during which I've learned a lot. I still think this is one of the best places for discussion on the web. Thanks to loyal members old and new.
:lol: You're welcome. :party:
