Yes that´s right men, we make a party for everything, just see our national caendar, I´m sure there is no other country with so many "Fiestas" on it

Let´s wait to hear from Mods & Admin to know the date of the celebration!

Maybe this will help you in your quest for XDA Anniversary.

If you decide to throw a party don't forget to have Jameson or Jack Daniels in the house, before you send your invitation to me.

Found a nice little sentence that still holds up on that old XDA page:
"We prefer unsupported chunks of information over no information any day"

So unless anyone comes up with the correct earlier date.

You can trace the last edit of that page, January 28, 2003.

But it can probably be traced even further.

If you take a look at:
http://web.archive.org/web/20031229083505/http://xda-developers.com/
You'll see that back in the day n@k3d Pictures weren't an issue. (drop down selection box About the Hardware >> N@k3d Pictures of XDA)
As the site has matured, less and less of these are posted. But Mike's still got a nice collection of these on his own site.

So it's a party every day here at XDA.

Where does the server is?

Who is the very first admin that creates the forum?

It may be around the third week in January 2003. BUT that's not confirmed yet - we're waiting a reply from Admin on the precise date.

The server is in Holland.

Peter Poelman (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=218065) one of the founders and still around today as is Itsme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=218387) (with the coveted Developer / Moderator rank), albeit that they are not active on a day to day basis, but still responsible for the site. I believe, but I stand to be corrected, that FLAR our current Admin, was brought in by the likes of Peter to take over day to day Admin when he and others took a back seat and had to spend more time running the parent company.


Whatever the date, the Membership will be required to donate towards bottles of Bubbly for the Mods. (If you like, you can also donate to the Psychiatric fund that takes care of Admin staff when they retire in a state of utter mental breakdown)
