Flames Happy Birthday CalgaryPuck!!!

CalgaryPuck is 10 years old!! What an awesome, awesome site!! I can't tell you how much i've appreciated reading, writing, arguing, bitching, being polled, and on a personal note, contributing on the "behind the scenes" side a little bit here and there.

Cheers to CalgaryPuck!! Cheers to Bingo, Photon, JiriHrdina, ken0042, Sylvanfan, and KevanGuy!!! Cheers to all the writers and contributors!! Your hard work and dedication has made this the greatest online community on teh internetz!!

Long Live CP!!

Edit: Maybe as a tribute you can name a fond moment you had on CP over the last few years.

My favorite poster had to be The President for sure. "It not necessary to call Mr. Slick" is one of the greatest quotes of all CP time IMO. Although I only joined in 06 I checked the site out pretty often before that.

It's actually a little older than that, but I won't be picky.

Some celebratory fireworks are probably in order and would be reminiscent of a calgarypuck that predates that birthday you so gleefully cheer in this post.

May I direct you to the CP anniversary banner? I realize there were a few incarnations before it was officially CP, but this is the anniversary of the site in it's current state.

Yeah, I'm well aware.

LOL

It is funny, I had assumed the board was a lot older then that. There were other incarnations before CP? I would have to check out the wayback machine....

Congratulations you guys! I don't know what alltherage has done, but he is really sucking up!

My favorite poster is Wolven, and http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...36#post2022736 has to be one of the greatest post of CP.

There has been a lot of negativity on CP lately but even still there are so many reasons to cone back everyday. Things like HDs GDT/GTD's and Bingos post game write-ups are always well done and very appreciated. Scattered in the mess of most of the threads in the FOI forum there are still quite a few intellegent posters who I always look forward to hearing from.

I was/am a big fan of the RTT started by Girly and the Confessional when it first started. I love the Funny Picture/Video thread. I am having fun with the CPDL(3rd place!) and participating in all the contests/trivia games are always fun. I love that there are so many other Broncos fans on the site, I am always intrested in what Dis and others have to say.

There are so many things to love CP for, if i had to choose 1 favorite memory it would probably be playing NHL 09 with a drunk KG and dominating, haha. I only joined a year ago an have already had so many great moments on CP, I can't wait for the next 10 years!

Happy Birthday CalgaryPuck!

I don't know what I did before CP. I was never such a huge internet nerd before, but now when I'm home I feel like I have to refresh every minute.

Bang on. I spend most of my time on CP. I couldn't imagine what life would be without CP. So many good times here.

Happy Birthday CP!!!

Best moment had to be the Wolven post. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Just revisiting that post today, still as funny as when it happened.

Happy Birthday CP!!

The Wolven post would be my personal favorite, I read it recently again as well.

Nice. I'm very curious as to the results of the poll in the middle of the page. I vote for Fata.

I have to admit, every once in a while I wonder where Chris Lindberg ever went. Perhaps creating line combinations on the street, or in heaven.

My career would be a lot more successful and I'd be making a lot more money, if it wasn't for this infernal time and attention eating machine. It's like heroin, it ruins your life and makes you it's prison bitch. And yet I keep coming back for more every day.
