As a member since 2004 I have not contributed directly through comments or forum posts but have enjoyed articles and discussions published here. IIRC the original reason for joining was to be able to get update notices for certain software titles. I think I still get one for foobar 2000.

Good luck on the future. I hope your birthday celebration is enjoyable.

All the best

PP,
Thanks for sharing Afterdawn's history with us (visitors, former colleagues, friends). While I was aware of the ups, I had not realised there had been also plenty of downs along the Afterdawn route.

Best of luck for the next 20 years.

Happy Birthday, Petteri and team. It's been good to read the story of the site as I had no idea who was behind it. I went looking through my profile and found I joined up in 2006, so I've been appreciating your work for many years. I hope the future is good for you.
