Four Years Old: Happy Birthday REO!

**Ryouko**

Today, four years ago on September 24th, the doors to a very small and unknown Rockman.exe Online were opened. At the time, I had only watched about 13 episodes of EXE, and it was only perhaps into the second season over in Japan. Little did I know what I was getting myself into when I began this site.

....and I don't regret a single moment of it. This site has brought me so much love and countless unforgettable friends! Thank you all so much for the compassion you have shown me, and for the years of laughter and bonding. You guys are great!

Here's to another great year! Also, huge special thanks to Tabby for the gifty art on the main page. XD It's AWESOME and CRAZY. XD

Yay, anniversary! \o/

I've only been here for around three years (although I only officially joined last year), and this place has been very good to me. I'm very happy that I found this forum and new friends.

Here's to next year, and years after that!

Four years. Seems like so much less in retrospect though, isn't it?

But yes, from obscurity to perhaps the foremost site for Rockman.EXE in fewer years is no trivial task--this site is just as much Ryo's as it is the userbase that calls this site a home on the Internet.

To four years, REO, and hopefully more to come. Cheers!

Ah memories! Seems like yesterday when the site was still brand-new. And was the only place to get any manga info at all. <3

Congrats Ryou! You deserve the praise; this website is really a work of art. Incredible that one person could do it all. (You'll probably say something like, "well, lots of people helped me with summaries, translations, graphics, etc etc etc, but you're the one who put it all together!)

We may be seeing a new era of Rockman now, and EXE will fade a little bit if the new series become favoured, but I know the website will keep going strong. :)

But, yes! *o* Happy 4 years to Ryo and REO! Pass out the booze and cake!

....maybe. He could be dodging down into the hole, but he could have been flattened too.
Yay for open interpertations! :D
