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.

Happy 10th b3ta!
I not sure what brought me here, but my initial thought was 'hey, look other people are doing what I like to do' shortly followed by 'these people have a similarly warped sense of humour as I do'.
I think I lurked for a little while before signing up. My first post FP'd but I'd fucked up the hosting and when that went down, with it went my first FP. But I was already hooked and posting pictures gave me a rush akin to the closing seconds of an ebay auction. Anticipation of the response would have me shaking with excitement.
A month later I was recovering from having had a wisdom tooth removed when I posted this www.b3ta.com/board/1710983. The first reply made me smirk to the extent that I tore the stitches. I loved that I could make people, faceless strangers, have that reaction...instantaneously. b3ta gave me that.
b3ta also gave me my small piece of internet notoriety. My Gazza picture just kept going. I had to just stand back and watch. The comments still bring me joy.
I wish I had the time to contribute more, but the hummus is still coming from the wonderful, the talented, the creative and the fucked up.
To each and everyone of you I say 'cheers!'
and one day I might click on the link that says talk board
