Happy Fifth Anniversary, Samgaran Sanctuary!

Yes, it has been five years since Sanctuary went online. There have been a lot of changes in that time -- changes in staff, changes in content and even a change of name but one thing has remained the same. That one thing is my commitment to this site and to making it a place that people want to come to and enjoy being a part of.  

Keeping a website going, even a small one, takes commitment. You have to be willing to put in the time it takes to keep it running smoothly.  You have to be willing to deal with people who you would perhaps prefer to ignore and, sometimes, you have to make hard decisions that will make you passionate enemies as outrageous as that sounds. So anyone that tells you that keeping one of these things going is easy is lying. It’s work, sometimes heartbreaking work, and cyberspace is littered with deserted forums long abandoned by their creators.  Keeping one operating for a year is an achievement, making it to the five year mark is a minor miracle but here we are at our fifth anniversary.

Sanctuary’s birth wasn’t easy and the years since have produced a lot bumps in the road, not to mention chuckholes that would swallow a tank, but Sanctuary is still here and so am I in defiance of those who hoped that it would fail. It is my hope that this year will see the last of those major bumps and chuckholes and the beginning of Sanctuary’s becoming what I’ve always hoped it would be. Sanctuary’s my baby and I hope that you will consider it your online home. In return, you have my promise that Sanctuary will be here as long as I’m around to pay the bills.


And for the record, I ain’t going anywhere!  Wink

Happy Birthday Samgaran Sanctuary!!

This little forum IS my home now and I hope it's become "home" to others out there... It's a great place to hang out, put one's feet up, chat with others and just have fun!! Yeah, we do get a tad serious by times but at least there is no mud slinging, that's NOT allowed... Cheesy

I feel very privileged to be a moderator in here and so glad I am around to celebrate Samgaran Sanctuary's birthday this year with Penth, Moonie and the rest of our awesome members... This is a new beginning for this forum... A new name, more members, more activity and hopefully, a pure gold reputation of being THE place to be online!!

CHEERS and KUDOS to you Penth, for Sanctuary... If it wasn't for you, this little site would not be around and a lot of us would be without an online home. I can't scream your praises loud enough, THANK YOU FOR SANCTUARY!!

Smiley


Happy 5th Birthday Samgaran Sanctuary... Wishing you many many more years of being the best place online!!
