A little late here, but I've had problems with my video card. It kicked the bucket. After doing a complete reinstall of the O/S and having to get a replacement video card (thank goodness I had a 2 year warranty on my computer), things are finally back in order for me.

So I'll join in that group hug and say thanks to everyone here for making it such a great community. I'm glad that we still have a place to meet online after the official boards closed down.

I was originally on the Vivendi site for another game and decided to check out the Quest for Glory and Gabriel Knight boards, since those were my favourite series. I found that both had great community members and I enjoyed my time there over the years.

As DPX mentioned, we met on those boards and that itself is a great reason to be happy they existed.

And not to mention you met me. I mean, I add sunshine into everyone's life!

This post has been made in an attempt to make myself feel better. Please continue to the next post.

Happy Birthday, SHP!

Post by Collector »

Today is the 2nd anniversary of The Sierra Help Pages on its own domain. Our little group seems to be thriving, as is suggested by the fact that we did manage to break the 20,000 post mark before the 2 year mark was reached. Andrea, where is that cake? Rath, where is the haggis?

Happy Birthday SHP! I remember all the way back to when I registered second, the forum had a meltdown, and then Tawmis beat me to number 2 again.

Good times.

You're not a noob! 59 posts is a good amount! You should keep an eye on the title beneath your name ... it changes depending on your post count!
