Hippo-birdies-two ewes PTO!

Sorry, a silly birthday greeting a friend introduced me to that seems some how apprpropriate! Except maybe the hippo but hey who knows what the year will bring!

Thanks to all who have made this such a wonderful place to come!

Happy birthday PTO!!! Many many thanks to poultry_admin and thegawd!!!
And KB and OC!!! And Troy (modern17)!!!
And to all of you!!! You guys-all the folks that make this forum what it is-are wonderful! PTO has turned out better than we admins could have dreamed because all of you make it simply amazing!!!

Look at what we did all in the first year! We have a wonderful informative forum. We have had our first online show! We have picture of the month contests! Poultry_admin posted stats somewhere earlier-we have 650 members! We have 650xmany chickens!!! We have not had to ban anyone for behaviour! We also have managed to avoid spam somehow too!!!! Tons of amazing threads and tons of amazing advice and conversations!!!

Thank you everyone for a wonderful first year of PTO!!!!

One year...:PTO: :party:

What have we done?
I think we have successfully transitioned from PSO to PTO. Thanks Erin!
The community is GREAT. Open minded for other opinions, not afraid to say their piece and everyone is super friendly! You guys are:

And don't forget our great admins Al and WLLady!!

The year in stats

32,600 posts! :banana:

650 members

99,500 sessions (first yellow area is when the weather got nicer people spend more time with the chickens; spike was a company in the US trying to "sell" their product; bump at the end is our online show :sSig_number1: )
sessions.PNG1956414365.png
930,000 page views (bump at the end is our online show)
