Happy Birthday! Can't believe it's been this long.

Cheers to the black and the many dances of joy it has created over the years!

Zannadoo | June 29, 09:41 CET

And I thought I was a latecomer in 2006!
Cheers & thanks for being the first place I ever hung out online.

Gefeliciteerd!

I don't comment much but I still receive all the news from here on my RSS and it's great that this site has lasted so long, here's to the next 15 years!

Yeah, "Buffys" Emmy-performance - or, to put it more accurately, the Emmys' "Buffy"-performance - was a joke back then and is still a joke, today. "OMWF" should've won something (especially that Hugo*, which is a much kewler award than those Emmys, anyway) and the entire show deserved much more (Emmy-)recognition back in the day.

Anyway. I think it's nice that in the day and age of Facebook-plugins, Twitter-plugins, Disqus, and all that other crap there's still room for an old-school platform that doesn't need all those gimmicks but instead focuses on the very essence of internet discussion - the written word. No pics, no emoticons - not even cat-GIFs (though I'd actually consider that one a flaw). There's also not really any spam, which is something that tends to make the rest of the internet almost unbearable at times. I like that. This is one of maybe three places where I still occasionally post something. Though I'll probably stop in a couple of years. I'm barely interested in discussions anymore.
...
Thinking about it, this is probably the best comment section on the internet, that I know of.


*Which went to "The Fellowship of the Ring" - a flic I don't really care for. "Monsters, Inc." was also amongst the nominees. Could've lived with that - even over "OMWF". I loved that movie.

Back in 2002, jossisahottie.com had a fairly comprehensive archive of Joss-related news. But it was quite a lot of effort to keep up with it all. Thank you, Whedonesque, for 15 years of leveraging the collective hive mind for this purpose.

Kiba | June 29, 14:55 CET

Well done, friends.

Stupendous | June 29, 15:26 CET

Congratulations. Still the best site on the internet.

The Do That Girl | June 29, 16:22 CET

Happy Birthday! So happy to have been a member since 2004 (and a lurker prior to that). I am continually amazed at what I've learned from people on this site.

Many thanks to Caroline and Simon, and to all the mods who have come and gone. I miss some of the "regulars" from years ago, and the lively and sometimes memorable discussions of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse, but I am so delighted that this community continues to thrive (as does the career of the man for whom the site is named).

Best wishes to all for many more years.

Congratulations

As an active member in a bit over 14 of those, happy that, even if the news have slowed down a bit compared to a few years ago, we are still going strong.

Numfar PTB | June 29, 18:09 CET

Thank you so much for all your hard work Simon and Caroline - many happy returns of the day. What a wonderful community. Proud to be a member since July 2006!!

Happy Anniversary, Whedonesque! Thanks for keeping us informed.

Maybe for the 20th we'll all celebrate in person! :P

Congratulations. I've been here for 13 of those 15 years and this is still my favourite site - can't say that about any other site that I was looking at 13 years ago.

I still vaguely remember when Whedonesque was new. At the time there were so many Buffy-related websites on the Internet, and now almost all of them are defunct. This is the only website from back in the days when BtVS was still airing that is still going strong. It's nice to have that continuity. Happy birthday Whedonesque, and thanks to Simon and everyone else over the years who've kept it running.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU WHEDONESQUE! THank you to all the administrators. I'm sorry I was late. I was U2ing in NJ, which I know some of you understand.

hann23 | July 01, 19:45 CET

Whedonesque is the homepage on all of my Net surfing devices, and reading it daily brings me so many feelings. Happy Birthday!

BlueEyedBrigadier | July 02, 13:44 CET

Happy Birthday!!! I'm so glad to have this site to come to for well-moderated conversations about all things Whedon. Where people do not resort to name calling, etc., when there is a disagreement. And many people know way more than I do, so I get to learn stuff.

As many of you have said, thanks to Simon, Caroline, and any other moderators who have helped keep us on The Path! ;-)
