Title: Today in History, December 12, 2008
Post by: mweed on December 12, 2013, 02:25:48 PM: Long, long ago in what seems like a galaxy far, far away . . . the Bob the Pleo forums began. :dino-chase:

Yes, five years ago, on December 12th, 2008, a small group of pleo fans left homeless by the demise of the Ugobe hosted PleoWorld forums, decided to start our own forums. The very first topic was "Ugobe server move - What a disaster!" which was soon merged with the more appropriately named second topic "Pleoworld disaster". More than 4000 topics and 57,000 posts later, after five years, we're still here.

And, sadly, when we started the forums, we were totally unaware that December 12th is Ding-a-ling Day.

Post by: Talon on December 14, 2013, 10:00:08 AM: Wow! Happy birthday Bob the Pleo Forums! I'm so greatful this place exists. I actually discovered pleo in two thousand seven but I was a broke colledge student then so I had to hold off. I made up for lost time in two thousand eleven and plunged headlong into the world of robotic pets. Now I have friends from all over the world.

I've always found that forums run by real owners and enthusiasts are a lot better than official ones and often have much better answers for those difficult questions
