Maxman Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 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.

Maxman Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dirtbag flunkies. To think the site was started because we are essentially flunkies. Just took someone to point that out to us to get us started, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Great forum. Thanks for being a fun place to shoot the sh1t without running into a gestapo like mod team. It's bad mod juju to ban someone who only has about 16 months left. Make the most of it brave little soldier.

Popular Post Panzer Division Marduk Posted February 16, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. 7 years. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun. Back in those days, Herm Edwards was getting ready to lead the Jets to a glorious 4-12, most of us were on another site that was rapidly losing its sense of humor and some might say, the plot. Then some of of us started getting PMs from a few nefarious individuals, who got banned for their trouble. (Weren't Private Messages supposed to be private?), with a mention we might want to check out another site, and see what we thought. We clicked the link and got this: And so it began. Wasn't always plain sailing, for what seemed like eons, there was promises the site would be more than just a board, complete with front page. When the front page arrived, it was a bit underwhelming. Whatever happened to the Wee McCabe Techno Creature? And did he ever get out of Shane's dungeon? Then the rot set in. The popularity of the place plummeted. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence, but it happened round the time the watersports forum had been replaced by a hockey forum along with a new mod: Then war broke out after TomShane abused his moderator powers by attempting to ban Max, and filling the Hockey forum with monkey pictures. GOB hasn't been able to look at a banana without thinking of the abuse his beloved Steve Yzerman suffered, the PatsNation sh*tstorm with the TX Modship, finally Mr Shane left, confusing the hell out of loads of people. Others came and went, but the AsteriskNation went from strength to strength. Penningtology, 7 foot tall Latvian brides, spammers, fights over Curtis Martin compiler, years of Schitty, rep wars, BoomBoom, Bollywood to mention but a few. But just when we were all set to live happily ever after, Shane came back and the place went to hell. Hasn't really recovered since. Happy Birthday JetNation, here's to many more. And thanks to all the gang who keep the place up and running, and to the posters who've made this the best Jets board on the net. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
