Happy Belated 2nd Birthday YGG

Written by: Travis  |  Category: Happenings

Creepy Elmo

Wow, time sure flies. August 1st was the exact two year marker since Young Go Getter was first created by Eric. I’ve been a member since that day and a partner for a little over a year.

What began as just a phpBB forum, then morphed into a horror-show of iframes (I already apologized, back off!), finally became the Wordpress/Vanilla mashup you’ve come to love.

It’ll be interesting to look back on YGG a year from today as we reach triple digits (inside Flight of the Conchords joke). I know it won’t look anything like it does today, but I haven’t the slightest clue what it will look like. Let’s worry about that when the time comes.

So to all of the unbelievable readers, members, and supporters of YGG, two cheers to helping us stay above water for over 700 days and motivating us to keep at it.

That’s right creepy Elmo. Yahoo. We’re 2.

    Happy Birthday!
    Let the terrible two’s begin!
    As a mother of 5, I actually liked the two year old stage. They get bored with “baby” stuff and are ready to do “big kid” stuff. Lots of learning of new skills. We always had fun introducing and teaching new things to do.
