IceInSpace Milestones!

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all

This week is going to see a couple of milestones for IceInSpace:

- We're going to pass 8000 registered members (this happened last night!)
- We're going to celebrate our 6th Birthday on the 13th September 2010.

The milestones themselves aren't the most important factor to Terry or I or our community, but we like to acknowledge them and see them as a great opportunity to celebrate and recognise our fantastic community. We wouldn't be here without you and it's only thanks to you that we have a place that's worth coming back to, day after day, week after week, and the enormous wealth of information on the site and in the forums is thanks to your contributions.

It's also rewarding to continue to see the site go from strength to strength, to continue growing and know that every day we're helping newcomers into the hobby and helping people discover the wonders of our fabulous hobby of Astronomy.

Here's to the next 1,000 members and the next year of IceInSpace!

Thanks again for all of your support. This community is just one big extended family to me!

It's been a pleasure to be part of the IIS community, and good to see so many of the original conscripts still here.

It's been a great pleasure to be part of IIS.
Can't believe where the time has gone, but it's been great to participate and to see IIS grow like this.

All the best !

Congratulations Mike and Terry and the whole IIS Community...

I well remember when I first stumbled across IIS...I think I was number 50 to join...hard to believe that it has grown so big so fast.

Well Done All for making thsi a good place to get Astro Information and Advice!

I also must add, it's been a pleasure being part of the IIS community.

I can't believe it's been 6 years already, boy how time flies when you're having fun!

Congratulations IIS, here's to the next 6.
