WWE Forums Turns Two Years Old!

[Crayo]

(fuck you Olivia)​

Well, technically, tomorrow is our two day anniversary, but I'm not completely sure I'll be here tomorrow so you're stuck with it a day early. It's pretty amazing that this site has been open for two years as I genuinely remember pitching the idea to this forum to Xanth & Coon (not going to bore you with that story again). It genuinely is a massive achievement as success with forums is becoming harder and harder in today's world with the emergence of social media and all that jazz. The fact this community is still thriving and growing sometimes shocks me even though I predicted that this is a niche I felt I could find a hole in.

Without sounding like a complete soppy dribbler, the reason we are successful is because of the community itself. I look at the other wrestling forums out there and their community doesn't even come close to ours. The games, the discussions, the atmosphere, there is just few dull moments on this forum. The wrestling sections remain high quality and interesting to read, while the community/group sections remain hilarious. Believe it or not, the statistics of the site aren't what impress me the most, it's the vibe. I struggle to believe that we have created a platform where members on this forum can become more than online acquaintances, but we have. I shouldn't struggle to believe that as I spend most of my days hanging out with online friends - most of whom have come from this very forum - gaming and whatnot. But I hear stories of members Skyping at night having all sorts of fun, while other times there are members that converse with each other privately regarding very personal issues. The satisfaction I get from knowing that people make friends here and can help people here with their personal shit is very rewarding, so I thank you for that.

I know currently there is drama here with a couple arguments here and there, but I'm incredibly happy with how little there is over the course of a calender year. Even when there is drama it doesn't seem to last for very long. For those who are currently going through the drama, whatever has pissed you off, I advise you to forget about it. No one is perfect and the internet is a very unforgiving place. I've had numerous encounters myself with members I consider real close friends now, and if we remembered the things we may have said then those friendships simply wouldn't have been made. I mean for example, I argue with Jonathan on a daily basis, yet ten minutes later after I insult him and his entire Sunderland family I'm FIFA'ing with him. Let the drama go people, and move on with your day . ly shadow

Lots of members have been going on at me to get this thread done because they want to post their anniversary posts, which is where they're going to tag members they want to write a little bit about and essentially be thankful for them. If you want to also do that, then go ahead! We're in the Christmas season so everybody should be pretty buzzed. I would do that myself but I would genuinely be here all day and won't be around tomorrow to apologise to the inevitable members I'd unintentionally leave out. Please know though that I am very appreciative with what all of you members offer this forum.

I'll stop boring you with this crappy announcement now, so I hope TLC is good tonight and that you enjoy your holidays. Happy two years to WWE Forums and I hope I'll be making another thread 10 years in the future (where Jono still won't be staff).

Love you all.

It's strange but this place has gone beyond wrestling, a few people don't even watch it yet still post and visit pretty often. It's become less of a forum and more of a platform. Essentially you've created a wrestling hookup site for men, well done.

Also congratulation on the anniversary.

I literally skip 99% of WWE, hardly ever post about it or post at all in general bar IWT. All I do is read now 1:

2 forum years is about 65 human years I believe. Happy Birthday Grandpa.

I've only been here a week and I must say this forums looks pretty awesome. I didn't know how a wrestling forum would be, but you guys have been very welcoming.

I just have one question... When can we eat the cake? xD

Oddly enough I'm the same, I think the last show I watched fully was Payback from the WWE and BFG from TNA. I still watch the odd bits but not as much as I used to, the sport section is cool especially D'Z and his MMA threads, the footie ones and general shit in the LR.

Agreed completely. I remember the first discussion thread where it was just me and you like it was yesterday baby. Commenting on Nash/HHH at TLC from two years ago. Fitting that it's TLC tonight .
