Happy Birthday to All of Us: 8-Year WCF Anniversary Party

It's party time at Weber County Forum!

Strap on your party hats and crank up the music folks...

(56 in "Dog" Years)

We're happy to announce that Weber County Forum celebrates its Eighth Birthday today, O Gentle Ones. And upon reaching that mind-boggling milestone, we'd like to reach out to our entire WCF community to thank everyone for their support and contributions over the years.  Without your unflagging online participation since our initial post in 2005, we couldn't have become what we are today... the most robust community blog in the whole danged blogosphere!

During the course of our existence we've definitely made our mark.  We've spoken truth to power. We've knocked down harebrained schemes and budget-busting projects one after another.  We've covered local and state elections at a depth, pace and level of irreverence un-exceeded by anyone. We've deeply dissected issues and stories that even our own home-town newspaper tiptoed around, inexplicably ignored or wouldn't even touch with a ten-foot pole. Heck... we've even reunited lost dogs with their owners. And in the process we've also had plenty of fun, of course... and yet we've done so much more.  All-in-all, it's been a pretty great ride so far.

But we're certainly not yet done. As we now embark upon our ninth year of stirring the political pot,  there's still plenty of government corruption, bureaucratic malfeasance and plain old-fashioned incompetence left to be exposed and discussed. And yes; knowing more than a little bit about Utah politics, as we do, we also have a funny "sinking" feeling that there's much more to come.

So once again we'd like to offer our ever-humble thanks to each and every one of  you whose loyal support, readership and contributions of ALL kinds we've enjoyed over these past eight years. And as we look forward to the future, we'll thank you in advance for continuing to stick with us.

Time to break out the "bubbly," O Gentle Ones.

Happy birthday, every one of you.

Yes. It's party time at Weber County Forum!

Happy Birthday to Us

Thanks, Weber County Forum readers!

Why it seems like only yesterday that we were introducing Weber County Forum to the lumpencitizens of northern Utah, and whaddaya know, we celebrate WCF's seventh anniversary today.

Happy Birthday To Us!

We'll offer our heartfelt thanks to the political wonks who've given us their enthusiastic support over these past seven years.  We believe that all-in-all, our little home-town blog has proven to be a great and unique community resource.

We couldn't have reached this important milestone, and accomplished the many significant things which we've achieved without the robust contributions of all of you who've stuck with us since our initial founding on May 15, 2005.

Thanks, Weber County Forum readers!

Happy Birthday to Us

Marking the sixth anniversary of the advent of the public forum which has put the Fear of God into Utah political crooks and misdemeanants of every rotten stripe

Happy Birthday to us. Weber County Forum and her claque of hard-core Weber County political wonks can happily mark this day as the sixth anniversary of the advent of the public forum which has put the Fear of God into Utah political crooks and misdemeanants of every rotten stripe.


Time flies when you're having fun, dunnit?

And heck... we're just getting warmed up.

Happy Birthday To Us

And special thanks to our gentle readers

Weber County Forum celebrates its fifth anniversary today.

Way back on May 15, 2005 we issued a few predictions (and a subtle challenge) to the citizens of Weber County, in our very first introductory post:

Introductory post -- Welcome to Weber County Forum

In the interim, we've seen all of these predictions come to amazing fruition.

For instance, we now have a whole panel of smart guest bloggers... and we've seen our readers respond to the challenge of setting the political agenda on their own community blog.

And our readers have met the reader challenge... we've become one of the most robust and vibrant political blogs in the Utah Blogosphere.

We offer our thanks the citizens of Weber County Forum for the great response to our humble backwater blog over these past five years.

We thank you all for your support, and for your abundant and ever-savvy comments. As we've always said, our gentle readers have always been our greatest strength. As we've repeated so many times before, WCF is NOT Rudy's personal soapbox. We couldn't have accomplished what we originally set about to do -- and what we've done -- without YOU.

All-in-all, that's what's brought us to the top of the Utah political influence blog heap, i.e., YOU... OUR GENTLE READERS.

Don't mess with Weber County Forum, we say: Best danged community blog in the whole danged Blogosphere.

Happy Birthday to all of us!
