And to think that when I joined back in 07 we had less than 2,000 members is quite a shocking memory.
Congrats EB!

Thanks for the slide show, it's very interesting reading for the newer members such as me! Long live Eurobricks!
What I would wish for if there are any still existing, would be some screen captures from previous incarnations of EB, back to the very start? Are forum boards ever archived somewhere (like the Wayback Machine or such?)
*checking*
I can find one archive, but it's so very slow loading... http://web.archive.o....eurobricks.com
I'm not sure if any images will ever load.

It is always a milestone to reach 10,000. To be honest, I learned some stuff from that very well put together presentation. Now as we look into the future of Eurobricks, we can now wonder 'Will the number of members reach 20,000?'

I assume that there will only be 3 slides.
1) Eurobricks is founded.
2) Zepher joins.
3) Today.
Bwahahahaha! Congrats to ourlittle site, and of course congrats to the EB staff for helping us get here! When I think of the monster Lego discussion board, I think of EB, and I think these numers prove my thoughts correct.

Oh was I getting sentimental? Congrats, Eurobricks! I enjoyed the slide show, especially the map that visually showed where all of the staff members were located.
And, I know we all contributed to the 10K, but I'm curious to know who the last one was.

Who would've thought that Eurobricks would become one of the most popular LEGO forums out there? This is definitely a momentous achievement.
Great presentation, too! It's nice to see all of the things about and of Eurobricks over the years, especially the Brickset article screencap of how perfect Clone O' Patra's review was.
This is definitely the best forum I've seen, and I'm happy to take part in this celebration. The admin/moderator team is both funny and omnipotent, and there are many interesting features all over the site, like the Reviewer's Academy and mafia games.
Looking forward to the years to come!
You never were, with all of your outstanding reviews.

Wow, I was just about to post this too, but I forgot about it 
When I joined there were only 425 members, and I only knew about 15-20 of them, and now there are over 10,000?!?!

Well done to all and a special big WELL DONE to the founders and the Staff of Eurobricks who set the base for this evolution.
You have to have good and strong foundations in order to build a beautiful and stable building and effective maintenace services in order to expand it.
Nothing more but thanks to all!
P.S
Great presentation Bonaparte! This was one of the things I had asked in the past, a Eurobricks "History Guide". Excellent job!
