Hey Congrats!!!! Not to steal some of your birthday cake, but I totally forgot about ours on the 2nd, 10 years as well! Really hard to believe as well.
It might be helpful for all of us "old timers" to co-author a quick lessons learned tutorial for the new people, best admin practices, how to handle moderation, trouble users, promoting your community, monetization, etc.
Rick one thing that has always bugged me about adding a group image is that it shows up in the topic list and seems out of place. The little A or M does not look too bad, but a image this size or one like I am using on my site seems too big and takes away from the list of topics... Thoughts?
My licenses are attached to an email address that no longer exists. I can't get the info mailed to me to associate my license top my profile so that I can have a nifty 10 year badge too.
LOL dang earliest post that survived our upgrade was 2004... I know cyberwar had it since at least 1999 or 2000 (who is the people that owned it prior to me taking it over for them.) I worked on them then as an admin/game developer. Maintaining their legacy best I could.

I agree. Looks fine in the post sidebar but a little overbearing in the topic list.
It doesn't display in the User List either. I know it's not coded that way but I'm just pointing out that it might be useful in there as it's easy to ID members with certain labels.
I did not cheat! We're not on a server I have access to anymore.
No more database diving for me!
I gave the boss one of my 3 license numbers to check, he gave me an icon.
2 of my 3 numbers are over 10 years, one of them older than 11. Remember, March will make my 11th year with the company and I owned 2 licenses before I went to work for Infopop, one of them was within days of a year. I think 5.25 was my first version. Could have been even earlier.
Aww, darn it. It's still another year until my license is 10 years. The first couple of years on the site we ran the GPL version of WWWThreads. And a couple of years before that was Matt's WWWBoard on a precursor to the site.
