Took me a little while, but I finally noticed this thread and stopped in to say congratulations! Passed my five year anniversary in June; never knew when the site was first formed. Hard to believe that much time has gone by.

You said it all for me, Scott, it doesn't get much better than this. I'm ashamed to say I used to be part of that toxic silliness myself, but proud to find that hanging around here has polished me up a bit.

The internet makes you stupid, but DVI brings you right back.

Thanks a ton for all of the wonderful sentiments, folks... the idea behind the site was (and still is) simply to give the internet a good name. The subject matter didn't have to be digital video; it could have been lawn mowers, sewing machines or garden care -- the concept of how this place operates would have remained the same. Much appreciation and respect to all those who get what we're all about here: that it's not at all the "typical" internet experience. Thanks again,

I have to chime in, there is nothing quite like this site, I depend totally on it. Thank you so much, Chris.

Though still a child in DVi terms, I have to say this place is like a calm oasis in comparison to most forums and I'm incredibly grateful for the help I've had over the last year (it took me a while to start posting).

Belated congrats
 

Err, a bit late, but nevertheless,

Happy 5th!

Nice place you've got here.

Cheers!
