Hi Everyone,
Today, September 17, 2008 marks the forums 6th year anniversary.
On this day back in 2002, (seems like a long time ago now) we officially started up operations. We actually started up on an old EZboard message board and a few months later, we moved to our own server and our current domain Checkmate-Boats.com, and also switched to new message board software.
For any of you who haven't, but would like to read a little bio on the history of the forums, you can get the background on the forums by reading the little story I posted in the wiki or you can also click here!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the forums over the past six years, those contributions have made the forums into what they are today. So without each and all of you, we wouldn't have the vibrant community and Checkmate resource that we now have collectively built today.
So I'd like to send out a few thank you's to Gus & JW, Coop, Kip, Alan & the rest of the factory people thanks guys! But most importantly, I'd especially like to thank all of our rank and file members, from some of our very first founding members like SCT, right down to our newest member and everyone else in-between. Also, I'd like to send out a special thanks to all of our supporting members and supporting vendors from over the years, we couldn't have "done it" nor could we continue on without all of your very kind and important financial support and contributions.
Thanks for a great six years gang, and I look forward to many more down the line!
-Chris
