Exxosforum turns 9
Posted: 12 Aug 2026 23:12
Nine years old this weekend. Born 16th August 2017 at 11:19pm, for anyone who likes their history precise. What started as a small spot to support a few hardware projects has turned into something a lot bigger than I expected, and that's down to the people who actually use the place, not me.
This past year alone has had more interesting builds, ports, fixes and daft ideas turn up than I could ever list, and that's exactly what makes a forum worth having. So thank you, genuinely, to everyone who has ever posted a question, shared a fix, shown off a build, or just hung around and kept the place interesting.
Thanks as well to the moderators and admins, quietly keeping the wheels turning, chasing spam and sorting reports while I'm off somewhere soldering something. And thank you to the sponsors who help cover the server and hardware costs behind the scenes. None of you get anywhere near enough credit for keeping the lights on.
Go on then, tell us. Favourite topic, favourite post, favourite bit of hardware you've picked up along the way, whatever it is that makes this place worth turning up to, stick it in the replies.
Nine years in and still full of people who care about old computers more than is probably healthy. Here's to the next lot.
