20th Anniversary of the Celica-GTS.com forums
« on: Dec 21, 2021, 12:06:13 pm »
Yep, it has been twenty years as of today since I launched the old BBS-style forums. Though it has only 17 years to the day since I officially closed the old forums and forced everyone to transition to these "new" forums.

Not a lot to say, just thought I'd mark the occasion with a post.

Merry Christmas!

Wow! And I’ve been in here since 02/04/07. I have personally met and made good friends with so many awesome Celica owners over the years. As Zoomy said, thank you for starting this forum, and for maintaining it over the years. Plus the crazy April fools shenanigans.
