You forgot the end of MSSQL life too. The pain of converting MSSQL to MySQL was akin to that of watching the exit poll last month.  I still have my NDAs for Nexus and something else I can’t even remember what it’s called. They’re in my drawer at work along with a copy of Windows Longhorn Beta 1 on DVD. Maybe. Probably.   3 months before I stop travels, will I have more time to tinker or just break things..  here’s to the next 10 - keep up the good work as always 

They also get a nice dollop of publicity for doing so.

A good read! I originally used to hang out/post on some old car forums back in 2000/2001 and eventually got involved helping out as mod/admin. Back then it was Ikonboard 2.x and then the jump to 3.x. I then remember the excitement of IPB starting up and the first build of the forum back in early feb 02 I guess? I used to love the pre beta 1.0 skin. At the time I was working as an electronic engineer but good friends with the boss of a local IT/Software company who hosted the football forums for both clubs in the area. I eventually convinced him to take the leap from an old text file threaded board to IPB in 2003 as there were MSSQL drivers available back then  (big up the Wilzor!) - by 2004 I was working for the software company and have done ever since. So that's the job of the last 14 years thanks in part to IPB and then also I met my now wife through that very forum around the same time and we'll have our second child in July.  I probably owe @Matt a meal at Frankie & Benny s sometime.. its' been a while!
