This is a few days late, but Happy Anniversary BFA! The first front page post here was by Zephyr Teachout,  03/15/03 @ 05:07 pm

The blog has changed a little since then, but it's still "home" to me. Use this thread to discuss what you love about BFA and how it could be improved. Please stay positive so HQ can use this thread as a list of what they are doing right and suggestions for what they could do to make BFA even better.
