MikeyMonster Posted October 1, 2024 Report Share Posted October 1, 2024 Got my five year badge today, and what a pleasurable five years it has been. I love this site and the memories of yesteryear it contains and would just like to say a huge thank you to all who contribute, be it layout releasers, video releasers or just those (like me) who comment on the more fun and informative posts we have had down the year. Keep up the awesome work 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted October 1, 2024 Report Share Posted October 1, 2024 Nice post mate! I open MFME and play a random layout most days. It's a wonderful piece of community work spanning the last 24 years. It's very niche, many people I speak to about it just don't get it at all! It's great to have been part of the understanding people that do get it. For me it's always been about the memories, the places, people, and times it sends you back to. My memories are fading now, I'm getting on a bit!, but a dose of MFME always reminds me of those times and the people I shared them with. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotsmagic Posted October 1, 2024 Report Share Posted October 1, 2024 I've been a member here nearly 8 years?! Doesn't feel like that at all. Mind you I got a reminder from eBay recently that I've been a member for 21 years, and I immediately felt old. Honestly had to think about the maths for a minute as was convinced they'd made a mistake. 1 3 Attempting to quit gambling since January 1st 2025. **Lapse on Wednesday 12th November 2025** Dusting myself off and carrying on.

wearecity Posted October 2, 2024 Report Share Posted October 2, 2024 8 for me, discovered FME on the 14th August 2001, always been wearecity, I'd just turned 31 then. Just wished I'd learnt how to do a layout, much earlier than I did. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oldest I've ever felt was in the pub with @woodsy, and one of his mates was also there with his 18 year old girlfriend. So basically I'm in the pub with someone young enough to be my granddaughter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
