Hello TBTers! December 20th marks our 10th birthday. That's right, 43 days from now The Bell Tree will be a decade old! Since this is a particularly special milestone, we will be celebrating over the next couple of months.
Today, November 7th, also has some significance, although it was never given a name until now. From now on, November 7th will be known as The Bell Tree Founder's Day. This was the day that I (Jeremy) started working on TBT in 2004. The other staff members back then joined me in early December. And on December 20th, the board was opened to the public, which is why we celebrate our birthday on that day.
You've probably seen the banner: "Celebrating 10 Years of TBT", or maybe "Celebrating 10 Years of Community." Most of us haven't been here for that long, but we've all gained something special from this forum. So what are you celebrating after 10 years of The Bell Tree? Friendships? AC villagers? Collectibles? Mayhem? Post your celebrations in this thread and the best ones will be put in the banner!
November 7th: The Bell Tree Founder's Day
November 7th celebrates the day that work on the forum began (based on Jeremy's join date).
November 29th - December 30th: The Bell Tree Fair
The Fair itself was created to celebrate TBT's birthday. There will be many contests, events, and prizes during this period. This year's Fair is even more important because it marks a decade since the site's launch in 2004. The fair will start on November 29th, which was pushed back a week from the date announced in the last Bell Tree Direct. This was done because the original date was a day after the launch of Smash Bros. for Wii U and it would also be starting in the middle of American Thanksgiving. We also wanted to condense the period in which the Fair will take place.
December 20th: The Bell Tree's Birthday
During TBT Fair, we will be celebrating The Bell Tree's tenth birthday on December 20th.
