The History of CBn

Today marks CBn's 5th Anniversary. It was 5 years ago today, that I registered the domain "commanderbond.net".

This week, we have some great new features and additions to the site to help celebrate this. To start off with, there's 'The History of CBn'.[/ibox]

Beautiful! What a story, Dave.

I'd like to congratulate the CBn Team on this anniversary - you guys are the best!

Three cheers for CBn!

[Seannery]

Congrats guys! Maybe Bond #6 will be announced on your auspicious date.

[Athena007]

Wouldn't THAT be a dream, Seannery!

[Atticus17F]

Your hard graft has paid off, chaps. Congrats!

[Buck]

Congrats to all of you fine folks. Thanks for making and maintaining this awesome site. Your hard work is most appreciated. You are the goods! Many happy returns.

Dave et al,

The site is so good that it is easy to forget the tremendous amount of (unpaid) work that goes into it. Thanks a lot for everything.

Here's hoping that one day one of the Bond crew (actors, writers and producers) will recognise just what a boon CBn is to Bond fans and give us an exclusive interview. Spread the word, Mr Higson!

Nobody does it better.

I'm proud to be a part of CBn, its team and the forum members.

Happy 5th Anniversary CBn!!!.

Like the lovely Joyce, I really did have a lump in my throat reading your enthusiastic yet noble words, Dave.

CBn has definitely become a second home to me ( I'd better move my dirty laundry from Mister Astrix's desk ) and has helped me get through some very awkward and upsetting stages of my life. ( whilst chatting about Bond as well, of course ).

I cannot believe that I've been a member since August 2001, so I'll be celebrating 4 years of CBn next month ( together with JB&B's first anniversary ).

You can certainly be proud of how far CBn has come, and the hard work has certainly paid off. What with a solid foundation ( yourself, Mister Asterix and Greg ) a stellar and committed moderating team ( too many to list ) and loyal and intelligent regular posters, CBn is a online community that will always stay at the top of it's league.

All the best,

Cheers,


Ian

Happy Anniversary to CBn. I just finished to read the story written by Dave and I'm really impressed by the work and the dedication of the Team. Keep up the wonderful job

[doublenoughtspy]

Great story Dave. I'm glad no steel toothed giant, bowler throwing Korean, pool full of sharks, or pack of MGM lawyers can keep CBn down.

[Seannery]

Congrats guys!  Maybe Bond #6 will be announced on your auspicious date.

Good grief! Don't tell me I was correct with that Croation radio supposedly leaking out that Goran is the next Bond! Please anyone but Goran. I don't want that news to be connected with Cbn's anniversity.

[stromberg]

Great story Dave.  I'm glad no steel toothed giant, bowler throwing Korean, pool full of sharks, or pack of MGM lawyers can keep CBn down.

Maybe if the sharks were the kind with frickin' lasers on their heads...? (Ssshhhhh, don't give them stupid ideas )

Great story, Dave.

To qoute Jaws in MR: "Here's to us."

[Johnboy007]

Happy Anniversary to CBn. We are indeed the best!

[thuffner]

Happy anniversary CBn!

Great article!

[Icephoenix]

CBn has gone through hell many times, and each time it's come out stronger and for the better! I'm proud to been with CBn, and god bless everyone behind the scenes!

Here's to you! Good job, Dave

[1q2w3e4r]

Congrat's to the entire team. Past and present, the work you do is what makes this the best Bond site. Period.

[Loomis]

Congratulations to all involved in creating the best fansite ever. Happy anniversary.

[zencat]

Great story, Dave. Looking forward to the new features and to many more years of CBning. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride.

Oh, and thanks to Dave's Mum and Dad!

[Tarl_Cabot]

Happy Anniversary CBN.

I discovered this site in the spring 2001 and stopped by daily for news but I didn't join the forums till 2003.I can't imagine going anywhere else for Bond chat. Yay, CBN.

[Jim]

Happy anniversay, CBn

Although it is the combination of each member's effort to have made it what it has become, to a greater or lesser extent but an extent nonetheless, particular recognition to Dave who has put up with - and continues to put up with - an extraordinary amount.

Dave's Mum's bank seem worth thanking, too. Hooray for bank managers!

[Mister Asterix]

[mra]Thanks to all of the other CBn Team members

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Five Years of CBn, and I'm proud to have been here for four of them.

Here's to ya, guys (including the Team members past and present, Forum members, and Dave's Mum and Dad).

God, those pictures of the former designs sure bring back memories. Now I feel old.

[Righty007]

Happy Anniversary, CBn!

I'm proud to be a part of this great site!

[Genrewriter]

Happy Anniversary, CBn.

[Abdel]

Happy Birthday CommanderBond.net

And a big thanks to all the team members for their incredible job.

I first came to the site in early 2001 and since I can't help myself visiting it .

[DLibrasnow]

I joined right before CBn closed down due to legal troubles. Seemed like a nice crowd so I stuck around.

[trumanlodge89]

congrats to everyone involved. this is easily the best bond site on the web, and i am not ashamed to say that i check here before i check my email on a daily basis.

[Donovan]

Congratulations!

In the grand scheme of things, 5 years may not seem like a lot, but in cyberspace it is a monumental milestone.

The one thing that surprised me was the relative lack of donors. Years ago I made a donation after receiving an email from CBn. I figured, yeah, I use the site and I want it to continue, so I made a donation. I believe anyone who is at least a regular on the boards might consider ponying up something. I'm sure every bit helps. These things do cost money.

But I'll admit this much, after seeing there has only been 22 donors all this time, I don't feel quite as guilty for not donating lately.

Congratulations David and the team for a wonderful achievement.

Here's to the next 5!
