Happy Birthday, Me old mucker

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Wed Dec 14, 2011 1:32 am

:smt113 Happy Birthday RiderSite v4.
(RS itself has been going much much much longer..)

This day back in 2006, RiderSite version 4 was born. unlocked in secret squirrel mode on the 14th Dec 2006, it spent 4 days in confinement checking and cross loading various bits and bobs (avatar gallery for a quick example) before being unleashed upon the masses on the 17th Dec 2006.


First person in after the new version opened to the membership?

Ligloo!!:smt079

followed closely by the rest of the crew. Click memberlist and you'll see who the pioneers of v4 were :smt001


Anyway, Happy Birthday RS v4. It's been an emotional 5 years :smt004


I'll have a jack and best save one for Sam too. Make 'em doubles :smt040

creme de menthe frappe for me - I am getting in touch with my feminine side....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Even a World Champion has to raise a glass to that.

I'll drink to RS V4 - and to any future incarnations!

But then I'll drink to anything!
