Hello guys,
Everyone loves a birthday, right? Of course they do! We are extremely happy to announce that today the O2 Community turns 5 years old!!!!! 04/04/12 to 04/04/17
It's been a fantastic 5 years with the community continuing to grow and go from strength to strength. We've put together a few numbers which really show how hard you lot have worked to help others and generally make the O2 community one of the best out there!!!!
There have also been over 60 guides on a multitude of subjects created for the O2 Community Knowledge Base and 1000 + product reviews posted since the creation of the community!
None of this would be possible without you
We wanted to say a big thank you to all of you whether you're a full-time regular or an occasional poster. You all help make the O2 community a fantastic place to be and a great source of help, news and reviews!
We would also like to invite you to participate in some fun activities that will be taking place over the week to celebrate this significant milestone.
So, keep an eye on the latest discussions for more information to come! :smileyhappy:
The community team
@MercedesS , @Martin-O2 and @Marjo

Looking back over the 5 years, my God we have had some characters on here. They have all given hours of debate, amusement and anger equally.
Some known instantly, some remembered but not forgotten.
Browse through these...
Richard Thomas, Ancient Ferguson, Bob, Ian, perksie, wanty herself, numerous members who have left for their own reasons, many who were not given choice or reason, prking, Spencer, papadug, piperdog123, bambino, Damien.
All left their mark. Sadly some no longer post because of health problems or they have ACTUALLY found a life.
There was also the
slightly temperamental Gerry whose name I have forgotten but I always loved reading those people who spoke honestly and with sincerity even though it stepped on a few toes.
Anyway, who knows what the next 5 years will see developing, we will lose a few but gain an equal number. Not sure where I will be but recent events have taught me not to make plans too long term. Five years ago my life was defined into splendid old age with my dear Jude, married 42 years. Who saw that coming?
10 years or more of health problems have you looking at the world differently.
Far better to think, Well I tried rather than What if?
So anyone whose name belongs on our old members list from a personal point of view?

Yes @jonsie as @Glory1 has said above ^ ^ ^
aldaweb, keen photographer I recollect, remember he saw the Argentine Tango danced by Argentinian people on stage in London
miss those you mention ... most I remember ... the forum is definitely the poorer without them for whatever reason(s) they have 'moved on'
My 1st ever post was a thread called = IT Definitions ... oh what a glorious 'tease' it was on me ... perksie + bambino + damien1 + BoB, bless him = he of 'hardware of the cable' fame ... some of the posts were deleted by the posters themselves afterwards ... it was fun att
