Tomorrow marks the fourth anniversary of my signing up on this site.

From the early days when it was known as Just Say Hi, to the brief interlude of One + You, and the two weeks at the end of 2007 when it was called Banjos For Less, to today's high-tech, ultra-modern Mingle2, this site has become an essential part of my everyday existence.

That's another way to say "addiction."

And I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who made this day necessary. To the Admin crew, to my fellow mods, to the people on my friends list, to the literally hundreds I've interacted with in the forums, to everyone who has offered support for, and encouragement to, my writing (and some pretty nifty book reviews!), to everyone on the site who has e-mailed or IMed me over the years, to the ones who were here and left but still made an impact (I miss you, Nus!), to the people who sent me stuff on my birthday out of the sheer kindness of their hearts....to all of you, thank you.

Thank you for making this site what it was, and is, and will be.

Thank you for showing me that there are still some damn good people in this world. It amazes me that you've all found your way here. but I'm not complaining.

Looking forward to the next four....

I would gladly sign on for 4 more years now that I know your going to be here.

Love ya hun

Congrats, Lex!!! This place wouldn't be the same without you!!!

Congrats


6 more months and i be doing the same

I am so happy to have met you here Lex.
I enjoy reading your posts here.
You make mingle a better place to be.
Congrats on the 4 year mark!

Congratulations to another "old timer." I hit my 4-year anniversary in August (I think). Boy time flies, as they say.

You are one of the people who keep me coming back. I enjoy your posts and enjoy talking to you.

Raising my Diet Pepsi to toast to another 4 years -- take care, Lex!!!!

As the "freakin new guy", I am glad to see you make it and earn valuable friendships and meet a lot of good people.I can only hope to have as much a positive effect on others as you have.Just a really cool guy to know and understand. Human kindness and goodwill among men should not be a saying, but raher a call to action.Many more years to you!!!

Happy Four Years, sexy lexy!

You brought out my love for llamas. Thank you.


Love you ((((((((Lex)))))))

and ya haven't been traded once (not that they didn't try )

woo hoo goat boy

I just realized I'm coming up on my 3 yrs

I was reading the forums on a (much smaller) "alternative" site, and I noticed that several of the threads are just the same two guys tossing third-grade insults back and forth at each other. Pages and pages of this stuff.

And I don't want to get down on that site, because it has some positives, and the guy who runs it is doing a pretty good job overall, but the forums -- well, let's just say that sort of thing would have been quashed WAY before now on Mingle2.

When you've seen as many seriously-flawed dating sites as I have, it makes you appreciate the good one. I suppose it works the same way with relationship partners! Well, if I ever find a good one of THOSE, I can see if the comparison is valid....!

Even though it has been four years it has been a good four years..... It is kind of like once you check in it is really hard to check out.. Either that or they lock all the doors once you get here.... I arrived here only a few short months before you did Lex... and still remember one of those that threw rocks at the welcome wagon.....

Thanks to Mike & Van back then for picking those rocks up and throwing them back with precise aim.....

May your next four years be even better then the first four.....

congratulations!

Goodness, I have not even been here a month yet and you are rubbing off on me Mr.Lex. Good to know people like you exist and make the world a better place as well as Mingles too. Many more to you!!!

I don't think you're going to have any problems here....!

I've read a lot of your posts, and I just want to say you've already become a valuable asset to these forums. Just keep doing what you're doing and we will ALL benefit....!

Luv ya too, FP....now go do something about them chilly feet!

Yeah, the average profile length would drop by about 40 million characters....!

Curlers, yup....!

Where does the time go, anyway?



What will the world be like when I've been here 80 years....?
