AIM is gone, though.

Glad you enjoyed it. I found it very interesting and enjoyable. Then again, 
 
Matt (and by extension,IPS) have finally admitted to being the answer to life, the universe and everything....

Just checked back on my records and I jumped on board in January 2004 - converted from a hosted UBB.x site to IPB, with a converter I wrote myself in a Lotus Notes (Domino) database using LotusScript. I've even managed to find the database itself and have been marvelling (i.e. horrified) at the code I wrote to perform the conversion - there's even a comment in there stating
We purchased our lifetime license at the time.

Hours.
 

We have some impressive talents in the group.  
1.  I nominate that we use @Daniel F street art as the new default profile and blog headers.  
2.  Nominating @opentype for Eurovision Winner 2018.  
3.  We need to have a Guitar Hero Rockstar competition between @Ryan Ashbrook and @Adriano Faria
 

My hidden talent is hidden for a reason. 
Also, I am not Batman.

Next time anybody suggests that the Invision Community team doesn't listen, send them to this article. There's so much here that I've seen people bring up over the past year. What an amazing product. You lovely, lovely people.

I really like the articles that discuss best practices and ideas on how to use your community. Keep those coming  

One special note about the guitar, that I didn't include - it was actually passed down from my great uncle, if I recall correctly, to my Dad and then to me. It was given to me back in 2004 or so, when I first decided to learn, and was my first official guitar.

Actually, this does exist - you can configure individual member groups to require moderator approval of content before it's shown to other members, and even define a time or an "approved posts" limit for when that restriction is automatically removed. In this instance, it will only show to the user making the post, and to moderators, as you mention.

It's the same regardless of type.
 

Ultimately, it will largely depend on your sites needs and configuration of Memcached versus Redis, however we've made various improvements to Redis support in 4.2.6.
I would recommend trying both out and see which works better for your specific needs and your environment.

As of 4.2.6, Redis is the recommended cache solution.

Music is crucial to my life. Last week I was fortunate to attend an event at Capitol Studios in Hollywood. This is where Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and thousands of other artist have recorded some incredible music. I was in awe the entire time. 

My favorites are soundtrack related music aka epic music:
Hans Zimmer Steve Jablonsky Ramin Djawadi audiomachine Two Steps From Hell Position Music Brand X Music Immediate Music and good old country music:
Miranda Lambert Zac Brown Band Dierks Bentley Brett Eldredge But I listen to all kind of music, thats just my 2 favorite genres.

I’m using my phone right now!

Interestingly, I had a difficult time answering this one (which is why I didn’t actually answer), but as a musician I’m kind of ashamed I didn’t think of this lol
But yes, definitely music is a very important aspect of my life, and I can’t imagine day to day without it. It’s such an important aspect of my day to day, and something that just comes naturally, I often forget it’s there!
