I registered yesterday purely out of loyalty to the founders of Fluther, Ben and Andrew. It’s a new venture for them and after keeping this unprofitable site alive for so many years purely for our enjoyment, I feel deeply indebted to them.
As of ten years today, they have carried us. In doing so, we have matured as individuals and as a community that has over the years become extremely close. We have experienced together our individual growth, the births of babies, many real-life tête-à-têtes, couplings, marriages, divorces, disease, the loss of loved ones in our lives, and the passing of some of our most cherished members…
We, this diverse group of disembodied personalities that stretch across the spectrum of culture, economic status, life experience and educational backgrounds, geography, race and nationalities over the years, have grown tolerant and intimate with each other.
I thank you for that, BenDrew, and I wish you all the success in the world toward this new venture.
