Happy Birthday to Us!
Several people have sent me messages recently - sending their congratulations on UKB's birthday! I wasn't quite sure what was going on, but have now figured it out - although the website was started in 2002 (if memory serves), the forum took a few more years to get up and running and, looking back, my very first post was at:
Tue Jan 17, 2006 6:10 pm
So - today is the forum's 4th anniversary! Thanks to all contributors for making this the most lively and relevant forum for British butterflies on the planet! Here's to 4 more years!
Cheers,
- Pete

Re: Happy Birthday to Us!
Pete
I seem to have joined 2 weeks after your first post.
I must say you have created something rather remarkable here.
Not only is this site the most comprehensive and accessible resource for enthusiasts of British Butterflies, but you have also created a lovely little community.
I know that many friendships have been formed through this website, and I, for one, have made some really close friendships with assorted members over the years.
So - yes, It is Happy Birthday to the site - but more importantly a huge thank you to you, Pete, for all your hard work, and aso to the people beavering away behind the scenes - Gary, Lisa, Guy and Piers (Have I missed anyone?).
Cheers

Re: Happy Birthday to Us!
Thanks all - much appreciated!
Roger - I don't even know how I'd start "naming names" since there are so many contributors that go beyond simple membership! In which case, you forgot to add yourself to the list
Cheers,
