I suppose it's only to be expected...but I didn't really notice it until just now.
Over the past 487 days, 14 hours, 31 minutes, and 28 seconds since
NZB came online, I have poured a damned large portion of my time, not to mention my soul into this place.
In the early days of the kallboards on kallisti.co.
nz...a forum I started as an alternative to the moral wasteland that was
www.nzdating.com, we were a phpBB forum. We were bitter. We had fun. We decided bitterness was not the Way. We still had fun. I registered nzboards.com and moved everything here.
A brief flutter with Invision Power Board proved uninspiring, so one magical day about a year ago I leased
vBulletin for 12 months.
In the beginning, things were, shall we say...changable. There's a quote lying around here from Bluey & Aquila that goes a little like "One week, the whole site changed 3 times!".
I was also very Hack-happy for a while there...installing little things, big things, useless and pointless things...until one day it all kinda got tangled up into a big ball and I had to start again. I lost all of your Points. I gave back a whole heap more than you had to begin with.
The past 3 or 4 months however, have been nice and stable..with only 3 new Default styles.
...but you have to admit, they are pretty cool.
So, we have gone from being a phpBB board "with the ability to post in colour!!!" to a fully-fledged Forum, listed on DMOZ in the Computers|Messageboards category (quite an achievement for such a young board), with a Photo Gallery, Games Arcade, Webmail Service, Blogs and a heap more, including some very entertaining members.
I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts thus far, and in continuing to make
NZB THE Fun Online Kiwi Community!
