The forum has been through quite a few changes over the past 5 years and a lot of people have come and gone. I have to say (although I am biased) that this has to be one of the friendliest forums I have been involved with. Although we have been around 5 years now I think we can count on one hand the amount of people (excluding spammers and spam-bots) that we have had to ban. That is almost entirely due to you guys!
That said, the forum would be in a complete mess if it wasn't for the moderators. We have a "spam pit" in the moderators section where spam posts go once they are reported (thanks to those who report rather than comment, much appreciated!) and it is quite apparent that as well as keeping threads on track and looking after day to day matters that the mods are doing a fine job of spam-killing too.
Anyway, this was supposed to be a quick "Happy Birthday" post, not an Oscars speech, so thanks to all and Happy Birthday!
congrats and thanks. A great place made by all involved
