Happy 10th Birthday B3taTen years ago today we launched B3ta (well the version of it you'd recognise). Happy birthday B3ta! As a special one off please add your memories of B3ta here. E.g. How you found the site, or an early thing you saw on the site, maybe the people you've met or how the community is/was part of your life.

10 years is pretty scary.And your messageboard engine is still the same. Laudable!
I've been here since around the time of the legendary hemale/shemale quizzes, the No Hands Meme, Bulbmeister's light-based surrealism and Mofoha's still-funny 'Aptils and Gravy' kitteh storys. I remember a time when I'd actually spend all night on the threads creating new pics till the early hours. Happy days.
I paid (once - proud to have my original furtive icon), got a few front pages (thanks Magic Donkey!) and though my posts are rarer that unicorn poo these days, I still lurk now and then, and avidly devour the newsletter on a Sat'd morning in bed.
Big thanks to Rob for linking to my 'cover version' book/records mashups in the newsletter a few years ago which lead to lots of coverage (Guardian, Wired) and lots of unpaid work from the freeloading music industry! Yay to the idea of working for free for the 'prestige of it'. Nobs.
PS: All my WYH images from way back...
Long may you continue B3ta!
[EDIT] Just looked at my profile - I've been registered for 9 years AND A DAY. So B3ta was 364 days old when I joined.
