Title: JediDefender Turns 3!
Post by: Chris on November 15, 2005, 11:46 AM

I would like to take a moment to mention that 3 years ago today JediDefender was released to the public. Wow have we come a long way since then. Thanks for making these last 3 years of defending you from the scum of the universe incredible, and here's to many more!

Chris, thank you so much for giving us a place to discuss things with intelligent people!

A respectable environment where mature Star Wars collectors can share their thoughts (and views) on all things Star Wars....as well as 'hot' women, favorite cuss words, stupid **** from the internet and the like).

Thanks Chris for giving us a great home to discuss SW.  And thanks to all the JD members for making it such a great place to hang out. :)

Love this place.  Thank the maker it is around, and there are so many great people who work hard to make it available to the rest of us.

Yeah, Happy Birthday JD, and thanks for setting up shop here on the WWW, Chris.  Don't know what I'd do if you hadn't!

Big thanks to all the readers and members of the site as well.  You've all made this the best Star Wars collecting community around, and a wonderful place to call "home".  Always fun and enlightening to kick my feet up here, relax, and hang out with my buddies, as we pick eachother's brains about Star Wars and otherwise.  Looking forward to many more years!  8)

I'd just like to say it's been a blast being a part of JD!  Besides having to put up with that grumpy Morgbug guy :P, things are damn cool here.  Everyone involved with JD have a lot to be proud of.

Here's a round of beers on me!

Congrats, guys!  You run a great site, here.  You'd think after 3 years you'd start letting some nudity slide in the hotties thread, but nobody's perfect.

Nah, you'll notice the lack of one line replies, rampant and flagrant misspellings, and people aren't fighting with the local trolls.  Oh yeah and GNT didn't come in and add a bug-eye smiley to the thread's title or anything like that.  Those are the tell-tale signs I'd say.

Post by: Jesse James on November 15, 2005, 10:35 PM

Dammit, I'm god and I say to knock that stuff off.  :)

But also I forgot to mention replies that go like this:

 ;D :D ;) :o :( >:( :-[ :P ::) ??? :'( :-* :-\

I think the use of multiple smiley faces as a reply is just to hide the fact that they don't know the answer to what was asked or discussed.  That way expressing every "emotion" visibly means you were bound to appear like you understood what was said, even though you haven't got a clue.

Even though I missed most of the first year, the last 2 years here for me have been some pretty good times. Who knows how much work I would have gotten done over the past two years if this place hadn't been around to keep me from it. Thanks for everything guys and gals, and here's hoping that this place never goes down for good. Or turns into some gay "Firefly" site. Not that it was a bad show... but c'mon.

Man I remember when it used to be JediChris.net over at Angelfire.

Happy Birthday , Who would have thought this place would have come so far.

Title: Re: JediDefender Turns 3!
Post by: Jesse James on November 15, 2005, 11:46 PM

I'm glad everyone's enjoyed the site.  Chris deserves all the credit for having JD up and running...  The staff all applaud "boss" for his work.

I think honorable mentions for JD staffer who rocks should go to Jeff and Jared too...  They do a TON that many don't realize.  All the guys are great, and I'm thankful I accepted a spot on here a while back.  I couldn't have realized how fortunate I was at the time to be asked to jump ship.

Post by: TheBlackDog65 on November 15, 2005, 11:52 PM

A semi site for sanity if there is such a thing among Star Wars fans, where intelligence is appreciated (so why am I here?).  Defender rises above the fog of mediocrity and is a bright beacon of hope for maturing collectors!  Happy Birthday and thank you for all who do so much to make it happen.

YAY!!!  When JD was launched I was a miserable single guy consuming alcholic drinks at the pubs.  Now I'm married and have a kid and never drink (at least not around the wife) and I owe it all the JD!!!

No, no, no, here's how that goes:

1969, Man lands on the moon.
1970, Man plays golf on the moon.
Then nothing happened for a very long time....

Wow.  Great work Chris and his gang.  I had the pleasure (?) of being around these guys at C3 and while it may seem like there isn't that much to do, they actually put in a ton of effort and time and work very hard, often late into the night. 

Oddly I've been here nearly from the start and aside from one brief banning, they've let me stick around.  Thanks. :)

Um...you forgot 1974, when I was born!    ;D

BTW...November 15th, 2002 was also when Xbox Live debuted (if you're into the whole video game thing).  I really liked that the Xbox and all of it's momentus occasions debuted on my birthday.   Now I know that JD shares it as well, which makes this site even a little cooler.  ;D
