It's been one year since that awful awful feeling of WHAT? happened when I went to check to see what was going on with the Peas and the hours after that trying to figure out where everyone went - or if they went anywhere. I was so surprised at the loss I felt just because a message board closed down, but as we know it wasn't just any message board and there were some real friendships created there and it was a special place (in so many ways LOL!). Thank you admin ( ) for creating this new place for us to meet and continue with the great discussions, sharing recipes and life stories and generally getting through the day together. I truly appreciate that this place exists and everyone who contributes to this new board. I'm glad to have all of you be part of my daily routine.

Happy Anniversary everyone! This is an awesome place, even better than the old board (even though I miss some of the Peas who isn't here).

Yes, many thanks Admin. and Happy Anniversary! I have over 1200 posts since joining on June 27 last year. If I had 50 after years and years of lurking on the old site, it was a lot. A kinder and gentler place!

You're a bit early Still about 8 hours until the first person should get their anniversary badge (if I've set it up right)!

I love this place! Like everyone else, I was so despondent when I figured out that the other place was kaput and I was only a long time lurker there! This board is a safe social outlet for me, a place to gather new ideas, a place to laugh and get slightly outraged. I have felt at home and comfortable here from the first day. We can't say thank you enough to our Fairy Podmother. This place will grow and thrive for years to come.

It's been a great year! Thanks to the administrator for stepping up so quickly to set up this message board, if not for that action a year ago I doubt the peas would have been able to regroup.

Wow. A year already. I didn't find out about this new forum until I contacted gar to say cheerio in the dying embers of the old forum. She tipped me the wink about this forum.
Thanks gar and thanks admin for setting the new forum up.

Early or not, well done OP. I am still not much of a thread starter but I would really miss you all if we did not have this board.
I had a bit of luck on the Birthday thread today- I reached 1000 posts. Who would have known a little mouse like me would be UnstopPeable. Can't wait to see the badges.
I will also admit I have refreshed a little more than normal today! I am in the "earlier" time zone with all of my British pals posting above. I was tipped off to the new board in an email by a Canadian Pea who regularly started a South African Pea thread on GS as she was investigating coming out here. Sadly, she has chosen a different board.

Happy Anniversary to all the Refupeas! At the old board I was a member for at least 7 years and don't think I ever hit 500 posts. In one year on this board I am over 2,000 posts. You all must be doing something right!
