vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted February 25, 2016 I've been trying to track down the exact date, but all I know is LGW is 20 years old this year, so it will be a 10-month long party. Thanks, Matt, for creating LetsGoWings and for all the hard work you put into it. The modern "traditional" gift for a 20th anniversary is platinum. The closest we have here to that is silver, so one lucky person is going to become a silver Booster. They will be randomly chosen. Since Gordie is the most awesome player of all time, the 9th person to PM me expressing their interest will be the one boosted. If I don't get 9, I'll eeny meeny miny mo 'cheese the ones I do receive by 9pm on March 4th, 9 days from now. 12 Matt, Gordie Howe hat trick, TheXym and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted February 26, 2016 I can't believe it took me until 08 to find this place (even though I was a lurker for about a year). And now I can't believe I've been on the same message board since 08 lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper84 333 Report post Posted February 26, 2016 20 Years, thats absolutely ridiculous in an awesome way. I pulled up the website as far back as I could go, which is in year 2000 and including some screen shots here. Matt has done a tremendous job and this site has come a long way. I wish I could have pulled up something from it's first year, but this will have to do. 5 amato, derblaueClaus, e_prime and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
