In just under an hour, JetNation.com will be seven years old. Just wanted to thank everyone here for all the support over the years. You have a ton of choices when it comes to talking about the Jets, it is definitely appreciated that so many people call JetNation home.

When you think back to the day JN launched on a shared server for $20 per month it actually seems funny. John M (Greenbeans) now handles a multiple server\cloud environment, oh my how things have changed.

Really want to thank the moderators. It remains a thankless job, and they are who I turn to whenever I need help!

We also have a brand new writing staff, some of the writers you have seen but we will be doing a formal announcement and providing their bios soon. I am really happy to have them on board and expand our Jets coverage this year!

The site has grown so much over the years, we have over 10,000 Facebook and Twitter followers now. The front page gets so many visits it seems hard to believe at times. But the forums are, and always have been, the heart and soul of JetNation. So thank you to the most passionate group of Jets fans I have ever met. Your passion and knowledge amazes me more and more every day.

On a personal note, it is really cool to be able to call so many of you friends. Thanks for making JetNation the great site it is and here is to the next seven years (and a few Super Bowl victories) mixed in!

Thanks everyone.

Great forum. Thanks for being a fun place to shoot the sh1t without running into a gestapo like mod team.

To think the site was started because we are essentially flunkies. Just took someone to point that out to us to get us started, :)

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Lyrics were good for post count. Not sure if they were ever anointed king though.

You ran this place. Now you run twitter and you are missed here every single day. Seriously.

I mentioned earlier how great it has been getting to know so many Jets fans. None bigger than gg -- driving hours to go to the games. And is the first one in the stadium...that's a diehard!
