A significant milestone is upon this site. The 100,000th picture to be posted on NN is at hand. NN, the man, stated long ago "It is our goal to become the leading Amatuer Photo repository on the web". Perhaps that has come to pass. From a humble beginning in Oct. of 2002 to the place with so much community that I see today, is no small feat. I had the good fortune to find this place while it was still a flyspeck on the Web. Many features and upgrades have been added since then. Two of these (the chatroom and the free membership offering) have done more to foster the sense of community I enjoy so much here. There are a few members that have become friends to me. This will be my attempt to thank those people. I have no doubt that I will screw this up, but its my blog, so THERE...LOL
Clint: I have know you the longest here. Although I see little of you anymore, you were the very first member and the most prolific commentor of all, with never a bad word for any who posted here.
Zman: The orignial Trooper and Champion for all the things that are NewbieNudes. No one member has given or done more for this site my friend. May you always be well.
Mr far2shy: I met this man through the lovely Far2shy's postings. Her fiery spirit and the Mr.'s sense of right and wrong lead me to know the true nature of this unique Gentleman.
LazyGirl: What can be said about this Lady that has not already be said many times over. What may not be known about her is the beauty that lies inside her. To any that know her, this is old news. I consider myself very lucky to call her my friend.
Devilboots: Nothing earth moving about our friendship. We are a bit alike and that has developed into a mutual trust and respect between us. I hope that the special woman is headed your way now, as I wish the same for myself as well.
Hotmomto3: A sweeter, kinder more loving person I have never met. I seriously doubt I will ever meet another that has your genteel qualities. To nurture and cherish as you do is one of the few hopes I hold out for this world. You are WOMAN
Incubator: The chatroom king has the quickest wit and thickest skin of any I have met here. I doubt any man has given so much in chat or recieved as much shit. Yet, Inc seldom (if ever) strikes back at those blind souls. You are a better man than I friend.
