Deva Chat was 7 years old yesterday having been launched on 24th April, 2000.

We've come a long way since then, from the old 'Blue Screen' Deva Chat which was far too conspicuous at work, through hosting at ibforums, the infamous eviction from ibforums due to constant excessive bandwidth usage, to where we are today on our own VPS server.

Quite a few here have been on all or much of this journey, so belated birthday wishes to us, the DC community.

Happy birthday to Deva Chat!

Happy Birthday to us

Happy Birthday, DC. I can't remember if I was there on Day 1. But I was on in the very early days, I know that. This link showing the old-style DC from Dec 2000 will take some of you back.

Deva Chat in 2000.

PS this is a great site for viewing historic websites!

Tee hee, i can see my old username on the old DC blue site.

Belated happy birthday to Deva Chat! I remember the original blue screen format and the switch to something like what we have today.

Here's to the next seven years...

Happy Birthday to all concerned who run this brilliant forum.

I remember not being too happy at all about this new forum, but you get over it!

HERE is another link to the old site, and on this one you can still post and look at messages, in fact there was a post as recently as January 2007. A few recognisable names as you look through the pages: Rix, Big Si, WYB, West Hampshire Blue, MOC, Luce and myself

That link is actually the previous incarnation of the site before we moved over to Invision. I decided to leave it up and running for old times sake. Beware of the pop-ups!
