Happy Birthday RAT

[Praefectusclassis]

I'm not really sure if it was January 16, 17 or 18th 2001, but it's just over two years ago now that RAT was founded. Happy Birthday everybody! <p>Greets<br>

A great and growing international forum of which I'm very pleased to be a part. I've learned an amazing amount from the wonderful people here. The only problem is distance which keeps too many of us from meeting, but then, that is something to look forward to.<br>

Jenny's first post is dated January 18, 2001, so that must be the anniversary. Interestingly, I followed her original link and it is still active at Angelfire:<br>

Well, guys, congratulations to all of you who have contributed so much devoted effort, research, humor, and creativity to this thing we affectionately call "RAT."<br>
<br>
When I started Roman Army Talk, I never expected the forum would be as enduring and well-loved as it seems to be. I was honestly wondering if we'd ever get to 10 or 20 members, let alone 600 and more! So I can't express what a joy it is to check in and see how loyal and vibrant the community has become.<br>
<br>
We have members hailing from around the world -- from America to Russia, Australia to Sweden, and even friends in Latin America too. I think we might have a member or two from South Africa, now that I think about it. Every continent is represented on RAT except Antarctica E EM and I'm betting we'll eventually recruit an ice-bound scientist there one day!<br>
<br>
I just wanted to say thank you. This place is much more your creation than mine, and I'm grateful to see it thriving like this.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Wow, 2 years...<br>
<br>
<br>
Must admit that i was surprised when i found this forum. Surprised that there were more people who liked the Roman army (most people in my family/ at work find it rather weird...).<br>
