Two hours from now will mark the one year anniversary of MTG Salvation as we have come to know it today. Several well known individuals among the Magic community, including our beloved Rancored_Elf, annouced he and other were looking for a new Magic forum community to call home. Like a cascading effect, links to MTGSalvation were popping up everywhere. MTG Salvation grew from a small phpBB community housed on private servers to a the open vB community we have today. As the Magic community realised MTGSalvation, our numbers swelled as did our content.
Let us celebrate MTGSalvation and how our community has endured growing pains to become the site it is today. In a short year, MTGSalvation has become one of the largest, and in my opinion, one of the best on-line Magic communities. So as we celebrate 2006, be thankful and proud to be a part of MTG Salvation.
Cheers to the new year and may 2006 prove to be another great year for MTGSalvation!
Huzzzah! We have a site, we have beer ... an odd lack of girls. Darn. We even have a fledgeling relgion. Its only been a year? Feels like 4ever.

We went from a IPB board on private servers to a whole-fleged servered, domained, vB boards with daily content and so much more.
In the great words of R_E:
bamaf4n: Quick question (maybe you can answer it, or not), but before MTGS went to vB, it was on phpBB, correct? Also, Happy New Year.
RancoredElf: MTGS was always on vB
RancoredElf: starting Jan 2 2005
RancoredElf: it was never on anything else
bamaf4n: What about when Xenphire hosted it?
bamaf4n: Before people moved.
RancoredElf: it wasn't MTGS then
But, when it was on Xen's server (or host), it was phpBB, I am pretty sure it wasn't IPB.
I fail to see where such opinions contribute to the thread. *shrug*
At any rate, the site's first true year has passed and we've seen a lot of comings and goings. Among them has been the loss/retirement of a handful of wonderful former staff members throughout the course of the year, such as Wolfwood, sneakyhomunculus (who eventually came back), Qwerty, and Belgareth. Any staffer can back me up on this one - it's been a long year, but in the end, I'd like to thank all the hard work the staff has put in throughout the year has been worth it in the long haul.
EDIT -
For the record:
-original forums were on a server Wolfwood paid for. He just let Xen use it.
-original forums were indeed phpBB
-RE is quite right; MTGS simply was NOT MTGS until Jan 2 (when we moved onto Hannes' server and went to vB)
Happy new year, all! May Ravnica block finish off with a bang instead of a whimper, and look forward to an additional spoiler this year (Coldsnap). Here's hoping for a great conclusion to the Ice Age block after 11 years!
Wow what a year 2005 was, I joined salvation in january (started 2005 off well), went to NZ nationals and played in the vintage tournament winning some italian legends boosters and a DCI gemstone mine. I completed my last year of education and i'm hoping for my exam results to come in this month so i can start my first year of university in march.
Happy new years everyone, the party I went to was awesome.
