What a full and fast year this has been! I was thinking of Hatrack today and of all the events that showed up on our forum. There were events that truly were "Hatrackian" like KamaCon...and then there are personal events that became Hatrack events, like Sophie. There were unpleasant events, touchy events *coughelectioncough* and truly sad events. I've been thinking about quite a few actually.
So here's the beginning of my look back. Please add events that stand out in your mind and all the many that I've forgotten.
OSC asks for help on the latest in the Shadow series. It's coming out in March. YAY!!
December Jamie and Nathan are getting married! Now!
So what do you guys remember on Hatrack this year? Help me fill in the calendar.

My family's a Hatrack event?
I feel so loved!
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Well, I just remember you sharing everything about your pregnancy with us, your thoughts and everything leading up to the birth...
I guess that personal and family events become Hatrack events when you share them with us. Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :

One of my threads is worthy of note? Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :
Don't forget the "good cod OSC" dobie.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
November: One of our favorite hatrackers spent some time in the hospital ( ), but then we witnessed Elizabeth's miraculous recovery! (And we were all incredibly happy to see her back!)
December: The lovely Katharina hosts the second annual Hatrack Gift Exchange!

October The first time we find out about a Hatracker's death. Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

I won't.
Tony and I were engaged in April, but as we both knew each other before Hatrack it wasn't really a Hatrack event. I guess the same goes for Dagonee's wedding and Anna's wedding. (Phrased carefully so as not to suggest Dagonee and Anna married each other ).
This was my first full Jan-Dec year of Hatrack and I enjoyed it. Thanks y'all! Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
2004 was the debut year of the Pun Smackdown. (don't know how to do that fancy link thing)

Some Hatrack moments not previously mentioned that were important to me:
On a very selfish note, my landmark in September. Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

I need to say that seeing Farmgirl's "Best Wishes" thread before my wedding meant a lot to me. Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
Elizabeth, should you want to make links, it's pretty easy. (Of course, you don't have to! )
I'll write it so you can see it. I substituted "[" and "]" for "<" and ">" in the example below.
quote:To link to TinyUrl.com, put brackets around "url=" followed by the address. Then type in the words you want to be underlined as the link, e.g., "Here is TinyUrl." Follow with closing brackets around "/url."

Yay! This is fun!
I can't believe I didn't put Elizabeth on there...she was one of the first things to enter my mind too. I'm glad someone else picked up the slack as IMO, that was a HUGE Hatrack event this year. Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
Where's that 'Rackademy Awards thread?
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Also in December, something happened that was so huge I'm surprised to see that it hasn't been mentioned yet. Perhaps it's still very close and real to us all. Tsunami strikes after strong earthquake. Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
You know, I'm stunned at how many people in that picture I could name; there were only a handfull I was unsure of.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Kama, I missed your awesome calendar before. That is really nice! Thanks for taking the time to add the pictures! Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
Me, too. It's gorgeous!
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
That's SO cool!
(though, names to go with the group pictures might be a nice addition for those of us not cool enough to know everyone...)
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
ditto.
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
Nice one, Kama Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Man, that swollen bicep. Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
I loved the page on Centaurion. It made me realize anew how much I missed him. I can't believe it when people like that die. I don't see how the world can let go of them.
Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
*cough* Kama, I noticed that the April page of your calendar was blank. Quite frankly I'm shocked at this. I expected to open the page and find a huge picture of myself (how hideous would that be!) since that's the month I came to Hatrack.

Who's the girl on the far right in the wenchcon pic?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Don't forget the WMASS HAtrack Picnic....
And here I thought it meant something to you, Kama... \ ::weeps::
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Names added.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Glad you all like it.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Great thread! Kama, great calendar!!!
and I think Jamie and Nathan look so wonderful in that December photo! Awwwwwwwww....
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Oh, I forgot Zevlag's mission call and departure...wasn't that October or thereabouts?
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Space Opera, you only joined in April?
Crazy, I feel like you've been here for muuuch longer than that! Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Huh, I put the names under the wenchcon pic, too, but I can't see them now that I'm at work.
Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :
Speaking of looking back, today's my 4 year anniversary on Hatrack. I guess I really don't post all that much, do I?
Posted by BelladonnaOrchid (Member # 188) on :
Nato-obviously more than I do, although I've been around a lot more recently.
