Happy birthday to us!

[gstark]

Welcome

Welcome to all of our members coming to Sydney for our Anniversary Weekend.

We all hope that you have an enjoyable, and a safe time here, getting lots of photos, and meeting up with your friends and colleagues.

Nnnnsic's edit:
For those of you not coming but would still like to see and hear the speeches, the drunken slurs, the laughter and whatever else will probably happen throughout the night, you can use the DSLR Users.com Video Broadcast Chat facility to chat in real-time with other users while you watch and listen to the event.

You won't need a password so just type your login name and... well... login!

Mozilla-based browsers: you may get an error saying you should restart the browser... ignore it.

Minimum of Flash 7 required.

It's very likely that we'll be streaming at various points throughout the day, testing from locations like our home, Birddog's place, and Mancini's... so if you're at work or bored or bored at work or whatever... log in and see what we're testing... tell us if the audio feed has problems, if the video feed has problems, etc.

For the event, we'll probably start streaming from 6.30, but it's doubtful any of the main events won't happen until around 7.00 - 7.30 at the earliest. I'll update this thread as I find out more.

[Oneputt]

Enjoy the weekend guys, I am a little envious

Will try and get down soon for a mini meet.

[the foto fanatic]

Yes, Happy Birthday everyone!

To those attending AW functions, have fun (and take plenty of pix to show us unfortunate non-attendees what's going on).

[Greg B]

And the weather in Sydney today is magnificent - it could almost be Melbourne.

Happy Birthday to All!!!!!!
Welcome Poon + Jean (his wife) same as PW (Dean) to Sydney for the AW.
Hope you'll enjoy your stay.

Being something of a Johnnie-come-lately I am only too sorry that I did not learn of the this D70Users site earlier.

The strength of the site, I feel, rests not only upon the shoulders of the many contributors/participants who generate the volume but also fairly and squarely on the foresight and wisdom of those who first initiated and subsequently sustained it.

There have been many wonderful pictures shared and a wealth of information and fun. It is like a birthday party every day.

I sincerely hope everyone attending the AW has a safe, enjoyable and fruitful time. I expect that lots of photos will be taken and that many new friendships will be made.

Congrats.....  PS...well done Gary (& the MODS) for all your hard work ! We appreciate what you do, and without you guys - this place would not be the fantastic forum that it is

Happy Birthday to D70Users.com! Congratulations and thanks to all those involved in the conception, moderation and contribution for creating and sustaining an excellent place where members from all walks of life and skill can come together and commune.

[Nnnnsic]

Yay! Happy Birthday to us!
(I'll just stay out of the limelight as I'm one of the people who thought this site would never work...)

Maybe I'll get a day off today (to fix the code)!

[Raydar]

Happy Bday to all

I remember around this time last year when the seed had been planted.
A little farther down the track we were getting excited about the forum getting its 100th member, Boy has it come along way from then!!!!!!
I hope all that go over the week end have the best time ever!!!

Cheers
Ray

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y !!

to all, and a special thankyou to all those that had the forsight and motivation to get this great forum kicked off ..... and patience required to maintain it as the best forum of its type.

They know who that are.

Also a special thank you to all the contributing forum members who have taught me so much over the last year.

Sorry I can't make it down to Sydney this weekend - would love to be there and share in the fun times and festivities. Hope to make if for the second birthday bash.

Cheers,

[Onyx]

I can't believe how much this forum has grown and changed over such a short space of time. It's only been 1 year!

Thank you admin(s) for the foresight to setup such a forum, thanks to our patron and guru for the help and support of members in their times of lust needs, and thanks to all members for joining in and participating and ultimately making this place what it is.

It's fantastic to be able to interact and socialise with people regularly at meets and mini-meets; and I look forward to meeting folks travelling from afar in these coming days - at our first maxi-meet.

[Killakoala]

Congratulations everyone who has contributed to making this forum what it is today.

Also thank you to all those who have made this place my first destination whenever i get on the 'net.'

Have a great weekend, enjoy yourselves, don't do anything silly.

I'll be thinking of you all, now and then.

[Marvin]

Hee hee. Happy birthday!
I remember the first post I read which was something along the lines of "which photography magazines do you read?". I joined up thinking that it was Aussie and I would be supportive but wondering if it would really go anywhere. It's grown so much and many people find it a fantastic resource. Well done everyone! Have a great time at the anniversary meet. I wish I could be there!

[christiand]

Den allerherzlichsten Glueckwunsch zum Geburtstag.
(the whole hartedly very happy birthday)

[Geoff]

Well - happy bday to us!! May I say very briefly that night 1 of the AW week end was fantastic!! Everyone enjoyed!! Great to see so many new faces there and there will be nearly double that tomorrow night...amazing stuff

[birddog114]

Great to see many fans from all corner of Australia at last night dinner.
More faces will come out the closet tonight and wish all of you from Local & Interstate enjoying your day in Sydney with all other activities around.

Congrats to all people who make this forum happen! It's a great achievement and it couldn't be celebrated in a better way than this big AW meeting. Like the mini-meets, it embodies the spirit of the forum - camaraderie beyond the virtual Web. Being currently overseas I won't attend but send my best wishes for everybody to have great fun at the AW celebrations!

[sirhc55]

It is always nice to put a face to a name and last night was a wonderful example of the friendship that exists within this community.

Roll on tonight - more members plus the highlight of the evening - the challenge results.

I would also like to add, that this forum is not just Australian but encompasses the whole world and it would be wonderful to see some, if not all, members from O/S at future functions.

[ozimax]

Congrats to D70users, great idea and vision, thanks to the founders and worker, well done from NSW nth coast.

Before I visited this forum I thought a camera was an accessory for your neck, now i feel like the camera is so much more.

It may seem young but this forum seems like it has stood the test of time, the information and wisdom i have recieved from this forum is nothing short of amazing! I think it's safe to say this is the best DSLR resource on the face of the planet!
The community has been very accepting and I find the people here from different walks of life all wonderful.

Big thanks goes to Gary for the conception of a great idea and following it through, the exceptional Mods, The only Sponsor: the legendary Birddog and all the great people who make this forum what it is

all the best for the future!

[MHD]

Great fun out around Lavender bay this morning... some great shots and perfect weather!

[Frankenstein]

I can only echo the sentiments expressed by others - well done and thanks to everyone involved in this forum and everyone who contributes to it. I'm sorry that I couldn't participate in this weekend's events, but I'm sure everyone will have a great time and burn lots of film, umm, pixels.

Frank
