POI Factory Two Year Anniversary ?????

To celebrate the upcoming anniversary, how about a cake decorating contest?

I got the idea when I was searching for a picture of a GPS cake. Came across this site
http://www.gisday.com/showcase/cakes-2007.html

People could submit a photo of their cake and then everyone could vote on their favorite. The winner would get a special "cake" badge or something!

FYI - sadly, I would be unable to enter the contest, since I have absolutely no cake decorating skills. Although I am quite talented at eating cake.

Yes, I agree, congratulations and Happy Birthday in order for the site.

That said - I'd like to see a "Member Since..." line in the account status.

My Account shows me to have been a member for 1 year and 22 weeks.

Funny - I was at a year and 26 weeks a few weeks ago. I'm getting younger.

And as posted for Miss POI - "second week in a row showing 1 year, 50 weeks..."

Yikes, I've been here exactly one and a half years. Times flies when your having fun at a great site. Congrats Miss POI and keep on POI'ing!

Here is an idea for a new badge set. A birthday cake with the number on it to match the years you have been a member.

Anyway... For whenever it is "Happy Birthday" to the best POI site around.

Sure happy I found this site. It is definitely a great forum for GPSR advocates and owners.

for 1 year 22 weeks. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.

To have a site with souch good info and most of the time everyone getting along with each other. I say congradulation to the site and both JM and Miss POI.

best wishes.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday to both JM and Miss POI. Thank you, for all you do

Yes congratulations on your 2 yr anniversary. I must say this is my favorite GPS site. I can't believe I have been a member since this site was only 3 months old! I didn't know that until now.

u have done a great job

ditto

Thanks for putting up this site.

Hearing about this anniversary reminds me that POI is in it's infancy. GPSr are too.

Many of us have been disgruntled for one irritation or another. But aren't those irritations simply growing pains of an area of interest experiencing hyper-growth?

Once upon a time I met the legendary Grace Hopper of blessed memory (The grandmother of Cobol, her staff coined the term debug, and Admiral USN among her many accolades). She spoke of computing being in it's infancy or it's Model-T age. As the Model-T grew up and as computers grew up reliability improved. So too will GPS and POI grow in reliability and consistency. Just as roads were paved, so to will maps better reflect reality.

So, to the folks at POI-Factory, and the members here online, Thank you so much for your pioneering efforts. Thank you for making our journeys more delightful. And thank you for challenging us and the hardware, software, map, poi, and FM connectivity providers to do more! In aviation we call that "pushing the envelope."

Thanks!

Have been a member of many chat rooms and forums over the years.
POI Factory has been the highlight for me. Miss POI and JM have done an excellent job of monitoring and maintaining control of the site and it's 6 figure membership.
So all I have to say more is:

Happy 2nd Birthday from a 1 1/2 year member !

Regards.
