Happy 10th Birthday B3ta
Ten 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.

I joined seven and a half years ago.
Back then one of my favorite sites was Memepool. (It still exists, but has been inactive for about three years now.) They had a link that said something like "Punk kittens ROCK!" that took me to rathergood.com and kittens playing "Fell In Love With A Girl". I explored Joel's site and found references to b3ta, so I looked it up.
Over the past seven years I've gotten to be quite familiar with British culture and slang, far more so than people I know who have lived over there or even gone so far as to marry someone from there. I get called an Anglophile, which amuses me greatly as it's really not accurate- I only know about British things because I want to understand the jokes made on this site, not because I wish I were British myself. But what the hell...
Through this site I've made a number of friendships, told some cathartic tales of myself, met some amazing people and had drinks with them. And of course I have to admit that I had a relationship that was a bit public that ended on a bad note. I still apologize for that.
For good or bad, b3ta has been a pretty important chunk of my life online and offline. I've written a lot of tales in here, laughed like hell at the tales of others, frequented the main board a bit even though I have no Photoshop skills, and generally wasted a lot of time in here. Just one question...
Where are teh upload codez?
