Yes, that's right. Today is the 8th year of TFP's existence!

I would say that's downright amazing for an internet forum.

Over the years the TFP has changed but its essence has always remained the same.

So, Congratulations to the TFP and to us all for making this place so great that we stuck around this long!

Let's hope we can continue to make this place the home for mature, intelligent discussion on the internet that it has always tried to be (with a little silliness added in the mix).

I know for me it's still somewhere I consider a safe haven and a great place to meet interesting, like-minded people.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TFP!!!

::::::::::::::::::::::::

Stay tuned, later in the day we have a birthday surprise for you

However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Thanks for the years of discussion and friendship... happy birthday TFP!

Only 8? Seriously? I thought I'd been wasting my time here much longer than that.

Congratulations to Halx, the admins, the moderators, and the rest of us for keeping this place a pleasant place to live.

I knew this place existed, but I had forgotten its name, and of course its address. Then I got an eMail reminder that today is the 8th birthday. I have a forum I speak at that has 200 registered users, maybe 50 or so active. I could use an additional place for discussions, although I do not know how well the Tilted Forum will match what I am looking for. I favor astronomy and science in general, although the sexual expression here caught my eye.

Happy Tilted Birthday!

TFP, you're an inanimate object. You have no date of birth. I celebrate nothing.

That's one of the biggest and oldest geek jokes. It's like messing up a knock-knock joke. It just shouldn't happen.

Also I realized, I went all dyslexic in the post. Had to edit that shit.

Happy birthday, TFP!

In two years TFP will be a decade old...

and the world will end. Coincidence? I think not...

My favorite reply to:

is "go away". And I usually mean it!


But here's wishing TFP another 8 good years of catering to the tilted set...as well as some normal folks, too.

Happy birthday TFP.

TFP, you've come a long way in just 8 short years!

Cheers!

Sweet! Today's also my niece's birthday. She's 12, though.
At only 8, I will say TFP shows a bit more maturity than she does.

Happy crazy 8, TFPers!

Happy B-Day.

Thanks to all involved. I have been enjoying this place since 2003 (though mostly on the Titty Board). Every once and a while I stray in politics and get my ass kicked. That sends me back to the titty's every time.

I'm glad to be a part of this group.

I sent out an email to all the registered members here.... and a few old ones came back to say hello and celebrate the birthday with us. Awesome!

Or it could be
Yes, it could be
Yes, you're right it surely could be

Somethin' very, very special now
Just for me!
