Post by ADMIN Wed 25 Jan 2012, 1:39 pm

The site is now a year old!
Looking back a year when the Beeb announced they were to close 606 and I thought that no I didn't want to suddenly lose touch with all the people I'd chatted away for hours with, I never quite thought that this would be the result.
Thank you, each and everyone of you.

It's not been a smooth ride, there's been fallings out, tears and tantrums (mainly from Adam). But in just 365 days we're coming upto 1 million posts on the site, we've got just shy of 4,000 members and we've grown beyond our wildest dreams.
We've had Q&A sessions with several sporting stars, we've got Twitter accounts for most sections, prizes on offer from companies and we want it to continue. If you have any ideas in how to continue to grow v2 please let us know and feel free to spread the word!

I also want to give a HUGE thanks to the other Admin and Mods. These guys don't get paid for these roles, nor do they do it for power trips etc. They do it because they want this place to succeed and make it welcoming and kept in the right spirit that you all deserve. They all deserve a big pat on the back!

Thank you and Happy Birthday v2!

Many congratulations to you, Macclads.

Your vision has grown into something of which you can be genuinely proud, in my opinion.

I'll be honest that I'd only just discovered this forum today (how fitting!), and will be spreading the word to those who miss 606.

Look forward to contributing here. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone involved in the creation and maintance of 606v2! It's a great place to chat, voice opinion and debate on the issues that are important to you. There's a great mixture of banter, well informed posters and varied opinions that create some interesting debates across the differing topic boards. One major difference that I have noticed from the old bbc site and other incarnations of 606 is the community atmosphere and the respect feel across the forum, on so may other sites posters are quick to slate articles, posts and opinions just for the sake of it or in the interests of 'wumming'! The apparent lack of this on v2 is the reason I joined and stayed!

Keep up the good work and long may it last.

Great site - well run and some superb topics and posters.

One of the vast improvements from BBC 606 is not seeing the word "nuthugger" in every other sentence.

Happy Birthday 606v2!

Thanks to the lot of ye for handling it - and us.
