Gearing up for #10
on: June 12, 2016, 03:29:29 PM
I just posted this over on Facebook but I know a lot of you don't go there so I thought I'd share here too.  Besides which, it's nice to talk about the forum elsewhere, but without discussion here the talk elsewhere is worthless.

Quote
A little over ten years ago I started a website which, on the surface, was a place to discuss and review the merits, advantages and disadvantages of folding plier tools.  Along the way we added a little bit here and a little bit there, and it grew into more than that- yes we have a forum, an encyclopedia, the longest list of honest tools reviews in the world, a gallery.... but I think the greatest component of that site is the community that has developed.

July marks our tenth year of being open to the public, and we will, as every year, celebrate throughout the entire month.   I encourage any and all manufacturers, designers, dealers etc to contact me and help us really make our Tenth Anniversary one to remember. 

Some of the notable people that I would like to publicly thank are (and this list is not in any specific order or complete, and I apologies if I forgot you):

David Bowen
Micah Johnson
Esteban Soler
Chris Oster
Nikola Pongrac
Mike Smithson
Duncan Moore
Bob Lessard
Gareth Hunt
Allan Bjørn
Ray Kirk
Tim Meeker
Tom Meeker

Let's face it, in ten years there have been a lot more people than that, but it's early and I haven't had breakfast yet.

If you are a fan of the outdoors, being prepared, being active,  getting things done, or collecting knives, guns, tools (multi, power or traditional!), in a friendly, casual and respectable atmosphere, maybe it's time you had a closer look at www.Multitool.org.  Just be sure you stick around next month when the party gets started, because you won't want to miss it!

Usually I drop a couple of hints as to the anniversary stuff, but mostly keep it quit until it happens.  This year it seems everyone is already primed and ready, so why not channel that into making it bigger and even more exciting?  After all, this is a hell of a milestone.  There are very few things in my life that have lasted ten years, so having Multitool.org still going is huge for me.

And besides, we still have a few surprises in store, so I doubt anyone is going to be disappointed!

Thanks man- but it's not MY anniversary, it's OUR anniversary.  It is a milestone for everyone here.

This would be a really boring place if it was a one man show.  Everyone here is just as much a part of this place as I am.

So are internet years something like dog years  :think:.  On paper we're 10 but because of the speed of information and all the times zones we cross, we're really like 100  :D

There is something in it...

From what I remember, technology advanced more in the past 100 years, than in the past 1000, and more in the past 10. than in the past 100... thing exponentially, in mathematical terms

this place deserves to live forever,  humanity at its best is captured in this forum on a regular basis

I have been here about 38 days shy of 3 years,  but it seems like home, and I feel like my friendships are as strong as longer duration ones.
If I can help, let me know

Yes the info on tools, sak, and other stuff is great, but it's the people and friends that make it the BEST!! :tu:

I'm glad you think so man.  I tend to feel that way too, but some folks might argue that I'm a bit biased!   :P
