    Let’s not turn this into a feature request thread

    Party Pooper 😉
    But seriously…have made a lot of progress since that first beta. It’s pretty amazing actually.

    those were general directions i would be looking forward to, not to much concrete requests… maybe in the coming three years 😊

    At some point this year we will launch our 100th site built with EE.

    We love EE and we love the people behind it, both in the virtual offices of EllisLab, and here in the community. We’re building a great business around implementing this software for nonprofit organizations and schools and can’t thank all of you enough for your support over the last few years.

    The combination of the EllisLab team and this community is helping us do some really great work in the world and we’re very proud to be an active member here. Please keep up the great work you’re doing and keep celebrating these mile-stones in the endless road of technology development.

    Now I’ve got to get back to work myself and stop hanging around reading blogs all day.

    😉

    Happy birthday to your neet codez, you bunch of geeks, and congratulations on escaping the Terrible Twos—which one can only assume applies to both CMSes and small children.

    Just don’t go and sell EE to someone that doesn’t care about your community like you do! One of the things that makes EE so good is that family feeling. I can’t tell you how important that is to EE’s success, IMHO.

    I’m thinking Microsoft might be a good candidate for a buyout.  :coolsmirk:

    *sigh* Microsoft, eh?  Then I shall have to go to Joomla/Drupal/Typo3/tearing out my hair.

    But just to make life interesting, before the buyout, why not transfer the IP rights to, say, the weblog module to me?  Then we can do a nice *taste of their own medicine* thing to Microsoft.  :cheese:

    Seriously, congrats on year three!  EE and CI are great!

    Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you, Rick, and the entire EllisLab team.

    If you’d asked me some 18 months ago if I ever would want to have my own company, I’d most assuredly say something like “nah, I’m perfectly happy working for The Man.” Back then, I was already working with EE at my previous employer and was digging it more and more. Sometimes a small side-project would come up. And another. And another…

    Right now, I’ve quit my job and am running my own one-man company, mainly because of what EE can do, and what I can do with EE. In essence, EllisLab has enabled me to make—what is turning out to be—the best career move I’ve made so far. And for that, I’m truly grateful.

    Here’s to you: cheers!

    I’ll second that one. Google is eating the world!

    In fact, I have this theory that the 2012 TEOTWAWKI/Jumptime/God-Mind Returns to Men Or Men Are Wiped Out, Either Or phenomenon isn’t that hard to figure out. We don’t know what’s coming next, right, because the Mayan calendar is finishing and they haven’t left us with any details on the end of this particular cycle, or what comes after it? Well, that just means that we go back to the beginning! And what did we meet at the end of the first cycle last time? A giant jaguar that ate the world.

    Ladies and gentleman, Google = that jaguar.

    Are you not making any sense or is my lack of sleep to blame?

    TEOTWAWKI

    Or maybe it’s TEOTTAWKI… the end of this thread as we know it.  😏

    TEOTWAWKI…Looks like you have to be a survivalist or god or something.
