IIS has been the dominant, most influential driving force in the rekindling of my interest in astronomy.
I'll never forget how exciting it was to join up and to be able to share and learn from the community.
I look back in wonder at the level of achievements we all have attained in such a relatively short time.
It's truly exceeded all our expectations and to that I would like to say a very big thank you and congratulations to Mike.
To mojo, a huge thank you for all the wonderful work he's put into the site to make it the coolest site on the net.
To my fellow moderators who put in a lot of their time to help keep the site running smoothly and help maintain the site.
And of course to all the members whom I've grown to know and love over the year or so that I've been on.
To all the many new friends I have through IIS.
Without you, we would not have a community.
Thank you all for helping me raise my awareness and enjoyment of this great hobby.
Happy Birthday IIS
