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.

Blimey. I see that I joined 9 years, 2 months and 18 days ago.Thanks to a cartoon (Coo?) by somebody whose name I can't recall, like so much else, which was linked on Cix (a bulletin board - younger readers may wish to consult a glossary).
Lots of fun, lots of nice people, some intense transatlantic messaging (hello, Cheryl), crowded bashes - I remember going to the something Celeste with great trepidation for my first one, and immediately meeting the wonderful Freshlegs, and realising that B3tans are OK. Also Rob trying to deter me from going into a bash, because he thought I was some lost dotard in the wrong place, looking obviously far too old to have anything to do with his young hip board ...

B3tans may not be immediately recognisable but as soon as you usee the secret codeword of woo you can suss them out. I remember you from some of the early bashes too.
