Time flies eh?

...the great Misam created the CPIgloo Forums at 8:46pm GMT.

Ten years have passed since the inception of this great forum, and what do we have to show for it? 53000+ posts spread over at least 2700 topics, with the old guard occasionally coming on to see if anything has miraculously changed, or to just check in on old friends that they spuriously know from a 10 year old Club Penguin forum.

I joined this forum about a week after it was created, when I would have been 10 years old (and a lot of our members would have been similar ages), in primary school with nothing better to do but play Club Penguin and talk to like-minded weirdos on the internet.

Hello everyone,

Once again, it is time for me to do my annual announcement that yet another (SEVENTH!!) anniversary has been and passed, and has not been celebrated in as meaningful and prosperous manner as it deserves(!). Last time, I wrote a list of events that have taken place since the initiation of the forum, so I thought I'd update the list slightly since the forum's anniversary overshadows a lot of them...

Here goes;
