A big THANK YOU as well to all those who makes LAF what it is: A very special place where people show their work no matter how weird the subject is and talk freely about it. This is a most ispiring place.
Many happy returns!!!

Post by: redzed on July 02, 2012, 11:45:23 PM: well done Alex :D

By keeping to a simple formula and strict but fair rules you've made the LAF one of the webs most successful forums :-*
Title: Re: LAF is six years old
Post by: Captain Blood on July 03, 2012, 12:01:56 AM: Really? It feels a lot longer! lol

Met a lot of great people and some good friends through this forum, from all around the world, both virtually and probably at least 100 in the flesh. It's a fantastic testament that something so essentially ephemeral can bring people together in real life to meet, enjoy good company (and green beer) and share an inspiring interest across mere national boundaries.

It's a shame that many of us in the UK still believe the Prof is actually just a fiendishly clever computer programme, not a real person, but still... ;)

Congratulations to us. We've come quite a long way in 6 short years when you think about it :)
Title: Re: LAF is six years old
Post by: Helen on July 03, 2012, 12:24:10 AM: Happy Birthday Lead Adventure Forum (LAF) and to Alex for its creation. I'm so happy in meeting so many lovely folk from all over the world who share the same passion with gaming, painting and collecting.

Thank you LAF and lets celebrate the next six years together in our miniature adventures.

Post by: oldskoolrebel on July 03, 2012, 01:20:56 AM: Happy Birthday LAF!

And thank you again Prof for running the site (and the other mods too).

We're really lucky to have such a great and supportive community. Everyone of every skill level is made to feel welcome her; this along with the diversity of projects makes The LAF an amazing place. And thats before the various LAM events!

I'm looking forward to the continued success of a website which has become part of my daily web routine!

Cheers

Great site, major inspiration, and wonderful folks. I'm staying!
Title: Re: LAF is six years old
Post by: HerbyF on July 03, 2012, 02:42:34 AM: I cetainly thought this forum was older. When I joined in Jan. 09 it was already a well developed & mature site. It has been of great inspiration to me over these last few years, and got me back to working on more projects. Catching up on the back log as best I can. The only down side is I see so many new ideas here, the list keeps getting bigger. Here's to many more years.

Title: Re: LAF is six years old
Post by: magokiron on July 03, 2012, 06:39:10 AM: Amazing that the site ONLY has 6 years!

This is without doubt THE BEST miniature-gaming-modeling-painting community of the www, and their members are the friendliest pals one can ask for.

Thanks a lot for all the hard work, and for tolerating us Proffessor.

Long live to LAF!

Best wishes.

Post by: Sinewgrab on July 04, 2012, 04:19:54 PM: Geez, it is only that old? Well, happy birthday to the single biggest influence in the changing landscape of my gaming habits. Without the people here, I would not have converted Megabloks ships, met the historical gamers that I game with regularly, go to Enfilade in Washington, built the Norwegian First of Mars, garnered my expansive Fallout collection, or even conceived of playing a non-GW game on a regular basis.

Post by: The_Beast on July 05, 2012, 03:36:02 PM: I know I've only been registered for two and a half of it, but feels like both such a short time, and comfortably forever.

And I KEEP finding new things to thrill.

Thanks, Alex, for letting us all join you in this sandbox. Such fun!
