I've also only been around for half that time, but I can't imagine not having this community around! In August 2005 I stumbled across a Legion fan site and never dreamed that the people I met there virtually would truly become friends. Ten thousand one hundred fifty-two inane and non-inane posts, an incredible trip to San Diego and countless memorable moments later, here I am and remain.
Thank you all!

Thank you, Rocky, for helping make this one of the most pleasant places on the web, and for helping keep the great comic strip Peanuts alive in our collective consciousness. I'm very proud to be part of the same Class of 2005 as you, Caliente, and Tamper Lad.

Congratulations, everyone (especially Nighty!). Who would have thought that this would last that long...
I don't necessarily post all that much, but I've been around since the beginning and read a lot of what is here. Always a pleasure hearing about old friends.

I've only been around for about two years but, in that time, this place has become my favorite online spot. The passion and creativity of the members makes it easy to see why a decade after it's humble beginnings the LMBP is still going strong.
Here's to another 10!

Back when I was a kid who was hooked on the Legion of Superheroes, I never imagined that I'd be part of a thriving community that actually "got it".

That's one of the things I love about LW, the diversity of opinion. I honestly believe that I didn't really "get it" until I joined LW. Before that, I was a casual fan and my real passions were L.E.G.I.O.N. and the Marvel Universe. I'm very grateful that you've all helped me gain a greater appreciation of LSH and the DC Universe.
I was there on Day One and though I was missing for a few brief spells in the earliest years, I’ve basically been around ever since. I really can’t express what the LMB means to me after all these years—I know I’ve tried on past anniversaries. I’m not much of a computer person, and certainly not an online social-networking person. But I’ve continually loved coming online to interact with the LMB steadily for a long time. Its become a part of my lifestyle—it’s a hobby in addition to my comic book collecting hobby (and at times, infinitely more enjoyable). My brother, my Dad, my wife…they all know that I come on to “…that website you always visit”.
When I first joined/co-founded the LMB, I was 18 years old. I was a freshman in college with no idea what I was going to do in life. I had never been on an airplane, I had barely ever spent any time online, I lived in my parents house when I wasn’t at school and I had never been in love. Now its 10 years later and the LMB has seen my grow up, graduate, struggle in relationships, fall in love, get married, get ready to have a baby, get a dog, buy a condo, get a job and now stay at it for several years so I’ve been promoted as a young executive, travel all over the country and so much more.
I’ve literally known Lash, Lardy, Cru, Far, Dev and so many others for 10 whole years. Stu & Pov for 9. EDE for 7. Kent for 7. Stealth and Rocky for 5. And many others in between and since. When you know someone that long you can recall conversations from years earlier. Friendship is an ambiguous indefinable thing that is unique for every two people and I’m thrilled I’ve got some great friendships through the LMB.
A huge amount of love has to go to for creating Legion World and giving this group a home and really holding us together ever since. Also, gets as much love as possible for always being the “spiritual leader” of the LMB since just about its earliest days.
There’s been a lot of laughs and a lot of great friendships. Some real intellectual conversations and some really light-hearted fun. Even the weird, awkward and annoying things we dealt with are kind of funny years later.
And I can’t wait for 10 more years of it.

Glad you mentioned Spellbinder. I miss him and his wonderfully flamboyant Princess persona. He does turn up now and again in the oddest places (the Snuggies thread??) but I'm sure I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say I'd like to see him a lot more.

I was just thinking that 10 years ago at this point I was Married, about to turn 30, and had just found out we were going to have a baby.
10 years later...I'm about to turn 40, still married, and we have two beautiful kids, who share my love for comics characters. My daughter (soon to be 10 herself) has read through all my Legion Archives and said that she cannot wait to join this group someday. My son is 2, and loves Spiderman, jumps up and down when daddy puts on his Flash t-shirt...of which he has the same one. Pictures as soon as possible on that one.
I cannot wait to see whee we all go from here.
