Hard to believe 5 years ago today we started Trekunited. Seems Like yesterday I built this forum, not knowing what would come. It sure has been one heck of a ride. There have been some good times and bad times. We would not exist if it was not for you guys! So, on this birthday, I thank each and every person that has, or is still contributing to Trekunited. There are more good times ahead, hang on and enjoy the ride!

Heh, lots of people joined during those days... I joined on February 9, 2005, too. Member #231.

I remember those days were so... unique. I've still got some of my posts from back then saved to a .txt file. Yeah, I'm weird, I know.

Happy 5th Birthday, TU! I'm so glad that I found this forum; I'm just sorry I missed most of the first 5 years.

Here's to another 5 years! :cheers:

Hmmm? I can't remember exactly...I think I was like member # 1785 or something like that. Maybe 1501? Darn....can we find out? Join date March 23, 2005. I remember Shinkai was member 7,000. I thought that was cool.
