Welcome, members and friends, to . . .
The Obidala Fan Forum's Tenth Anniversary Celebration!
In an era where fansites are born, grow stagnant, and are dismantled in a matter of years, the fact that we are celebrating a decade online this year is a pretty fricken huge deal!
We are honored to be one of the last specialized fansites left dedicated to the safe shipping of Obidala and on behalf of myself and the other mods I would like to thank you all for joining us this weekend. We are overjoyed to have you and hope you have fun seeing all the new fan-created Obidala works that we have in store for you. Traditional gifts for a tenth anniversary is the theme of our brand new layout -- daffodils in the picture and metal (representing aluminum) as our background.
Apart from a welcome, this thread also serves as our guestbook to commemorate the celebration and all the people that stopped by. If you would please sign it in a reply below, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you!
May the Force be with You All!

I'm super happy to be here again this year! I just want to give a big thank you to anyone who contributed in any shape or form, and especially to the awesome moderators for organizing everything again. Thank you so much, and I'm sure we'll all have a great weekend.

We are so happy you're here! And thank you for the lovely compliment. Now that I've opened the floodgates, I'll be heading to bed. But I'll be back soon!

Congrats on your graduation, enjoy your party.
Congrats too to the Forums celebrating 10 years of Obidala glory. I'll be here for most of the day, looking through all the gorgeous stuff that's been posted.
Thanks to everyone who sent us mods pieces of their work for celebration, we really appreciate it. And thanks to everyone who visits throughout the weekend, for making this site so wonderful and long living.

Glad to see everyone!! It's a time to celebrate fandom awesomeness and this is about the best site around. Be back after breakfast! It's scones, in honor of a Scottish you-know-who.

I'm finally here! Pretty much everything I want to say has already been said but, I want to thank everyone who contributed to this wonderful event and to my incredible fellow mods, without you, this wouldn't be much of a success at all. The fact that it is, is all down to you. And to all our wonderful members, old and new, who have made up the community of this forum, it is an honour to be a part of this with you. And it truly is incredible that we are one of the last remaining Obidala sites out there, so many have ended and it's so sad, but it feels pretty triumphant that we're still here. So, congrats everyone for the last amazing 10 years, and to the next 10 years! (And many more).
