Hello, everyone!
MOCpages turns 5 years old today! I can’t believe it...
Turn back the clock to 2003... Content sharing communities like flickr and
youtube didn’t even exist. Blogging was around, but not really mainstream
yet... Social networking was the hot new thing (remember Friendster??).
When MOCpages came on the scene, we didn’t even know what it was -- it was
sort of like blogging, sort of like “web hosting”, sort of like community...
Here’s my original announcement,
LUGNET post, “MOCpages is
here”. (OK, yes, I launched a few days early...)
Now, 53,000 LEGO creations later, MOCpages is one of the busiest LEGO
communities on the web. Almost 45,000 people visit every DAY, and that
number is always going up. I want to thank everyone out there who uses
MOCpages for making it what it is. I put the framework in place, but
MOCpages would be nothing without all the awesome creations!
It’s come a long way ... (Click to enlarge)
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years. :) (Gets me a little choked up,
actually.) :)
Feelin’ nostalgic,
Sean

Congrats, Sean!
I know the feeling too, next year LDraw.org will celebrate 10 (and I think
LUGNET celebrates 10 this year, anyone know when?).
