Happy Birthday PC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what I could ever do with out you. I know my status thing says I've been here for a short while, but I have changed my name a few times. I have been here for four years. I've met so many kind,caring, compassionate people, good friends, and learned how to love people no matter what shape, color, background, or ethnicity they are. And, thanks to you PC, I have made good, close friends. You have given me resources, advice, challenges, and even fun games and threads . Without you, I wouldn't be thriving at some moments like I do. You mean the world to me PC, and I am forever grateful. Sincerely Yours, Rissie

Here's what the first version of Psych Central looked like:

This was about a year old, and we had already been visited by 784,000 people! Now we're visited by over 1.1 million people each month from around the world -- over 120 countries. We've been mentioned in countless publications and in 2008 we were named one of the 50 Best Websites online by TIME.com. It doesn't get any better than this.

And our success is due in part to having a thriving, safe and reliable support community -- you, our members. You've chosen to make Psych Central your home, and for that I am eternally appreciative. Especially our most senior members who've spent years here -- first getting help, and now giving it freely to so many others who find us.

We couldn't keep this home a safe and supportive place without the efforts of dozens of volunteers over the years. My current co-administrators -- _sabby_ and Christina86 -- are my right-hand people and oversee a great group of community team members, who currently include super-mods bebop, January, wanttoheal and moderators bipolar_bear, Clyde, gimmeice, and Michah.

So my hats off to all of you, our loyal members, to our community support team, our community liasons, and our chat leaders. Thank you for making this a great 9 years of community here, and 15 years on the Web!!

Best,
DocJohn
