AF-org is nearly 5 years old. How is everyone doing?

RE: AF-org is nearly 5 years old. How is everyone doing?
it felt nuts when I joined. it took a while to get accepted. I enjoyed it though and feel it's developed nicely, in favour of opening up to theists, obviously something in my interest. Tiberius has been a rock. We've had our dramas and falling outs. miraculously it seems we're still together. I feel I've made some great friends. I've learned some, and continue to learn, and that's the best bit.
I think we should plan a 5 year event. Tibs and the staff digging up some memorable moments etc. That'd be great.

Some highlights from me

Some awesome theists. Well Christians. Big Grin Arcanus > Ryft a fantastic example. John Paul his precursor who blinded us with technical speak at the tender age of 17, and went on to fake his own death on another form. And the multitude of short stay theists solid as a rock in their awesome theology
The tenacious void and tavarish, fervent, verbose atheists who delved deeper than anyone IMO. void who went on to study philosophy and tav who created a blog stalking Ryft.
Our existentialist period with young Violet and purple rabbit that confusingly annoyed dutch man.
The great schism caused I think by our first queen eilonnwy, who first, in my opinion, let her new admin powers lead to bunny boiler tendancies and upset people badly, so much so that Tibs was on the verge of closing down. After that, in some people's opinion, turned militant feminist and left in a huff.
We had a nemesis forum created by members that the hurt and wounded fled to. Slowly wounds healed and most people returned and we pretty much continued as we were before.
Then we hit the modern incarnation you all know and love.
