Where are we going for the celebration? Actually, on second thoughts, I might stay in.

Do the first "threads" or topics as they may have been on Manilla, exist?

How many people have been posting since the very beginning? The Ken Barlows and Ian Beales, if you will

I think I first started in 1998 or 1999 so a reasonably early adopter but certainly not the full 23 years. There must be a core of posters who've  been here since the beginning?

"Do you sleep with Prostitutes?" that episode will live long in the memory.

I remember posting on the manilla site.  Risso was around then too.  Pete Bland as well.  Whatever happened to him?

A celebration tinged with sadness given today's statement.

Think I joined in late 2000/early 2001. First Villa website I was on was run by a Danish guy, Christian something or other, whilst I was still getting the paper H&Vs by airmail.

I was there in the Manila days. Not sure exactly when, though.
