Well two years to us anyway.  Back then we were just quietly working out of public view.  It'd be awhile before we'd announce AH and about another 6 months before it would go beta.  The startup phase was pretty fun but it was also worrisome.  That first summer I went on a stress diet and loss 19% of my body weight to become absolutely skeletal.  I've since fixed that through a strict diet of heavy drinking.

Thank you all for the time and effort that has brought forth such an entertaining product for so many to enjoy.

....and thanks for keeping your cool <I don't know how you do it> when so many deliberately try to make you lose it.

Looking back on what this was in the later stages of Alpha testing it never ceases to amaze me what you guys bring to the table (so to speak). This is really an Awsome sim and I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed it or the countless hours of relaxation is has provided me.

Happy 2nd birthday guys, WTG!
