HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IAP !!!
I just realized that as of yesterday, I've been a member for 3 years and have really enjoyed being a part of it all.

Actually, Jeff Brown has a join date of 12-5-03.

This would be the "official" kick off of IAP. But the bash is in February, because SOME people might think Christmas would overshadow the IAP celebration---I have no idea WHO or WHY, but that was the rationale as I understand it!

The Bash involves a truly immense amount of planning, and as we're all volunteers, it made more sense to move it to February rather than going over the Christmas break, which is busy enough as it is.

Christmas is a rather slow time on the forum, so moving it to February lets everyone who is away during the holidays participate in the Bash. There's more participation in February, and with the extra planning time, that's allowed it to grow to the big Bash that we all know and love.

As well, since we all love/expect prizes, coordinating prize delivery with businesses that close over Christmas and New Years can get tricky when your contacts take vacations.

So there you go - you can blame me if you like! :biggrin:
