I'd like to give my thanks particularly to Chris and Rolf for keeping the forum on the straight and narrow path over the years. Not forgetting our other Admins who have had to work hard in keeping the forum running smoothly (or even running at all occasionally )

Also my fellow Mods of course in trying to keep the site clean and legal!

Echoing the previous posters, here's to many more years enjoyment of a brilliant Forum

Well having just this hour got back from France and suffered with no internet access for most of the twelve days I was there, I realise how much I miss the place when not logging in.

Congratulations to everyone for making Satellites.co.uk the great place it is, love the Mouse Mat design.

It's been a pleasure belonging to this forum. I know I've been honoured to get to mod and later Admin but I would have still been a member whatever grade.

Thanks is due to Chris and Rolf for their hard work in not only keeping this place running but constantly keeping ahead of the game by making interesting changes.

Congratulations to all members mods and fellow Admin, 10 years is quite an accolade in terms of web presence however I am confident that we will only get better over the next 10 years.
It is all really down to the hard work of the long term founder members such as Chris and Rolfw who have laid the foundation stones of this wonderful on-line facility.

Yes, well done to all those who have contributed to the legend that is Satellites.co.uk. Every day I'm on this board, and that is because of the friendly, social atmosphere which as been propagated and maintained by those both at the beginning and those that have joined along the path.

I am in no doubt that the path will continue, and that new followers will join our merry parade.
