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.

I got me B3ta name (and indeed the name I use for all toons ect) when I was quite badly ill. I did not know it but a blood clot was travelling through me veins and ended up blocking the flow to the Greater Omentum (we all have one - except me now). Anyway it became twisted, went gangrenous and major surgery removed it (see pic at bottom of profile). Scary bit is the blood clot could easily have ended up in the heart and - well..
Anyway - Twisted Omentum was adopted. I needed a lot of time off after the surgery and Wifey (a long tuime lurker) suggested I have a lookey. First post was a cartoon of Tony Christie asking a stupid question. Never looked forward since. Ta B3ta. You saved my sanity when I was losing it then took it when I was off guard :)
