That's awesome news guys. As I sit here with a beer in my hand (and a few empties close by), I wish you all the best in the year to come. It's awesome to see SFF becoming ever more mainstream. Rock on dudes!

It's all exponential. Have faith in the snowball effect...

Indeed. We're just building on what LOSIAS and SFFr started..

Indeed, and I'm so happy to see it head in a positve direction. It crazy to think about how much things have progressed since my first foray into SFF. Back then it was all about barebones. Lots of cool cases but they were all part of proprietary systems. Ah, the memories.

Shuttles were the only way back then. In saying that, 2016 was the 15th (!!) birthday of M-ITX!

Oh darn, we forgot to do a article about it. Hurry John, there's still one day left!

 

[confusis]

No there isn't, it's 1637 on the 31st here

I believe what you are looking for is the Network Effect.

Speaking of Shuttle, that was my first SFF love. The SN25P occupied my dreams. I bought one and the rest is history.

Congrats guys, it seems like only yesterday you set up the site and forum. Now it's easily the premier place on the net for original SFF content. Good job!

Let's not forget about Biostar, Aopen, or even MSI. No doubt that Shuttle remained on the cutting edge for much longer. After 2006 or so you really didn't see much advancement from the others.

Very good point. Alas, nowadays we aren't seeing very much innovation from shuttle :|

Anybody remember IWill's dual Opteron SFF? Now that was a crazy bit of kit.

It was that box that got me into server hardware early on!

Thanks! And time sure does fly, I remember being excited when we hit 20 whole registered users.

And I was joking with @Phuncz the other day that now, if it wasn't for the M1, A4-SFX, and Sentry threads, the [H] sub would look something like this:

It's a great community and has been a big service to SFF but it's nice having a place now where half empty ATX builds go in the off-topic section

Awesome milestone ! Also very efficient with 25,000 posts and 1,001 members

Insane to think that ever made it to market !
