HPC:Factor Handheld PC Community Forums: 2 Years and Counting

On the 18th of September 2004 the first public post in the HPC:Factor Handheld PC Community Forums was made. Since that time another 56,600 posts by over 2,500 registered users have been made as well as countless posts by welcome guests to the site.

In the last two years we have seen users come and go. We have experienced some trials at the hands some very persistent Spammers along with some tribulations; who could forget the time-out of death that plagued the late HPC:Factor v1 and early v2 forums. Through it all - and with the help of some creative programming - the forum has continued to grow inexorably, just as has HPC:Factor itself, demonstrating conclusively that the Handheld PC community, and its collective, caring spirit is anything but dead.

So as the clock ticks over and we begin our third year, we urge you all to keep on doing what you do; keep on making the Handheld PC community great!

Congratulations, HPC:Factor! .. It's been great being a member of this forum for over a year .. To many more!

I've already forgotten what life was like before HPC:Factor.

LOL, me too..

Yet another major milestone reached because of all of you, the faithful visitors and posters in this forum! Without you we wouldn't exist!

Thanks to all of you!

You make a good point, because before HPC:Factor it could not have been possible for us to exist as an entity.

Therefore one must conclude that Clinton, John and myself are a creation of this website. Which is - as acknowledged - the creation and sum of its users. Which would mean that you all created us. disturbing.

You mis-spelled inexplicably

I can't believe that the forums have been up for 2 years - blimey oh riley! Congratulations

LOL, yes, that was my first second choice.

Thanks again for all of your hard work keeping this site up. Great job!

I hate to be a downer, but as far as I'm concerned the forums are both a blessing and a curse. There are many people who use the forums and don't ever bother checking out all of the other great things that this website has to offer and that's a shame, because so much time and effort has been poured into the complete package.

Anyway - congratulations on 2 great and glorious years at the forum!

Wow!!! 2 years already? :-o
People come and go, sadly life, but some of us like to hang about from time to time!
(Wish I had more time! )

Wes! Nice to see you, thanks for stopping by. How's life?

Yeah, while we're talking about coming and going . . . .

oh my... it's been that long already huh?
it's still almost two weeks from my first post's 2nd anniversary (i think)

But i guess i'll celebrate in advance! woohoo!

As for John's concern... well I always try to dig up the site's articles (reviews, cesd) and reference to them when replying to support threads. I'd suggest everyone do the same. Hopefully more readers would access the main site's many features.
