It is! Twenty years ago today, I first became the PPC Board!

Look - over here you can see the announcement my old friend Philosopher@Large made back in 2002. "And a PPC posting board has been added, for suggesting potential targets and recruiting the Assassins," she said - that's me! She means me!

And here's how people found me, the old PPC Home Page on Oddlots. It went through lots of changes over the years, but that little grey box at the top was always my home.

And! I don't have any pics from my first day, but this one was taken a month later. Look how small my header was! Check out all those names - we've got P@L (that's what we called her, hee), Architeuthis, the Andy and Saphie halves, Miss Cam and Meir Brin... and of course Otik and Acacia, my absolute faves. Love you ladies, still miss you!

Of course things have changed over the years. I've moved house a few times - from Server to YourWebApps and now to PlotProtectors. I've picked up new features, like marking updated threads, and tagging. I've lost my archives (oh no!), then regained most of them (phew!). I've faced down ad-bots and spam-bots and trolls (and multiversal invasions and blackouts), but I'm still here!

None of my friends from those very first days are still around, but that's okay! I've made so many new friends over the years - some of them just popped in briefly, some of them hung out for aaaages, and right now there's all of you! I'm so glad to have you all here with me to celebrate my 20th Boardiversary. Love you all!

-The PPC Posting Board
