How old is the forum? I was browsing around and noticed that the oldest registered member on file joined in 2001. March. Does that mean 10 year anniversary or something? Just curious.

Current incarnation is April, 2005. It was on ezboard before that. Lazybaby is the original founder (her reg date is July 2001). I think there were some posts that got transferred wonky and without user info, which resulted in the march 2001 posts.

We should do something in celebration. Maybe: rankings based on post count.

Like Legal Scholar, clerk, associate, partner, senior partner, etc. Moderators could be listed as judges. I dunno. I know it's dorky and stuff but something dorky or fun to celebrate. Maybe Lighten the mood with all the stress that goes on here with apps and the off-topic fights that some of us partake in. *shifty eyes*

Lawbuzz used to do this. It created problems because forum newbies would actually think that they were talking to articling students, associates, etc when they were really just talking to fellow applicants.

OK well we could pick something that ... wasn't so ... confusing.

We did it too. I got rid of it because it was kind of lame and because I didn't want to reward quantity of posts over quality.

That makes sense. I was just trying to be all celebratoryish since it gets pretty high stress around here. Only thing I could think of.
