One Year Down

Written by Scrivs on May 2, 2006

Today is our anniversary. Cooler and prettier entries are coming today, but we needed to start off the anniversary with an Anniversary Video by the Oreo CEO himself. Lots of big things happening in May and we expected to make it one year so even though it’s a big deal to make it this far what we have planned coming is an even bigger deal to us.

Thanks to our members and readers because communities only work when people are participating.

Thanks to Mike, Colin, Matthew and Tyme for dealing with my idiotic ideas and work ethic.

And a special thanks to the haters out there.

    Nice job man, the Network wouldn’t be the same without your fearless leadership and videotaped ridiculousness. Cheers! *rolls and sparks*….. err…. *cling!!!*

  2. Ben Gray Says:

    Baby makin’ music eh? Nice man, nice. Congratulations on one year though, that’s truly something to be proud of!

  3. Eddie Sowden Says:

    Happy Birthday. Man I can remember when this site was only whitespace. It has been fun watching the network grow, and if you have achieved this much in one year, God only knows where the network will be in one year. Web domination is just over the horizon.

    Happy birthday. 9rules is like some godzilla domination force but a good godzilla, maybe a dancing one.

  5. cavemonkey50 Says:

    Happy Birthday 9rules! Here’s to another year.

  6. Armando Says:

    Congrats on the one year anniversary. One can only imagine where 9rules will go next.

  7. Darren Says:

    great video Scrivs and happy birthday.

    I can’t believe it’s been a year.

    I remember back to when we first ‘met’ online. It’s been great to watch your progress - you’re truly building something worthwhile and I genuinely look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.

    Enjoy your anniversary!

  8. Bryan Veloso Says:

    Happy birthday 9rules. :D

    To imagine how much we’ve done in one year, and to imagine the things that are to come.

  9. Ken Says:

    I don’t know why but your videos just make me proud to be in the industry we are. I am glad that you are just doing whatever you feel whenever you feel it. Good luck with everything.

  10. Mike Papageorge Says:

    Congrats to the team! Well done guys, looking forward to the next years…

  12. Mike Stickel Says:

    Happy birthday kids. Make sure you blow out all the candles — except for you Scrivs, gotta keep one going for whomever you’ve got going ;^)

  13. David Krug Says:

    Happy Birthday. And yes the haters helped fuel it too. I’m proud to be a 9rules hater. God damn I need a haters badge.

  14. Volkher Hofmann Says:

    My new redesign which will go live in 2008 or 2011 has a much bigger 9rules badge.

    Much bigger.

    Happy birthday to us!

    Cheers!

    P.S.: Scrivs, time to go to Europe and get a real (!!!) beer. You’re invited (for the beer, that is).

  15. Gerard McGarry Says:

    Congratulations guys! I remember it like it was a year ago (sort of a vague memory of reading something…)

    Seriously though, you’ve done a fantastic job of building a blog network, I’ve often had to remind myself to expand my reading material - at one point it was all 9rules blogs!

    Good luck for the next 12 months
