This week, the OMD forums celebrate their 1 year bday. Thank you all for being here over the year and making this place a really wonderful, accessible, diverse community of folks that like to talk about knitting, dogs, cats, plants and…sometimes finances.
I am so grateful to:
literally every single person who makes this a ~nice~ place on the internet to talk openly about finances
@aaronpk for fixing the servers whenever things go wonky
The Purrsonal Finance Society members that pay all our server costs and keep us going (and make it so I don’t need to put gross spammy video ads up)
Forums I’m so grateful for this place. Thank you for making this place, @anomalily, and for everything that you do to keep it running. It’s made my life immeasurably better over the past year.
Have really enjoyed journaling in this space and interacting with many other folks here since coming back to the Internet after a hiatus! Glad I decided to check it out when someone mentioned on my return to MMM that this place had started up a few months prior. I like the vibe you’re creating here versus MMM though I do still interact over there some.
I’ve almost exclusively lurked on the internet for the past 15 years, and am so pleased with this community. You all (and your adorable kittens and pups) are awesome.
I’m really glad to have moved here from The Other Place. I’m so glad to have found a safe, supportive, and more anonymous (except for now-RL friends) here! Was always a little nervous about someone I know recognizing me over there.
You guys are the ones who are gonna be with me as I FIRE!
I just like being here in general, so many good people and ideas all flying around. Also pets, and tony victors, and just all of it. Happy birthday OMD forum!
My favourite thing about OMD is the community, so my favourite memory is all the times I thought to myself, “this site is so easy to use” or “this interface is so user-friendly”. The forum software makes it easier for us to connect with each other, to give support and share information.
