25th Anniversary Coming Up

bgs-jrp-anpat16-110-sq.jpgTime flies when you are having fun! We are turning 25 years young, yeah!

April 30th 2000 is the official launch of Nikonians, making us 25 years now in 2025 and the team is planning several things. We have created a forum thread in the About Nikonians forum where we will post updates as the planning progress.

If you are interested in helping out on a project/idea, or you have an idea yourself what we should do this year to celebrate this feat of turning 25, say so in that specific forum thread.

A big, heartfelt thanks to all of you who have supported the community in all kinds of ways these first 25 years, both financially through paid memberships and via fundraising campaigns, by helping out in the forums as moderators, by being helpers in the spirit of Nikonians supporting other photographers, by writing articles, managing meetups and events, and by creating ingenious podcasts and webinars.

In January 2000 we launched the first or "alpha" version of the site, not being public. By the end of February 2000 we started to invite beta users to the closed site. Around this time we also decided to change the main domain to nikonians.com, after its members - who are Nikonians - and stressing the concept of being a community. Exceptional guys like Alan Clifton, Doug Dever and Victor F. Newman (Victor has been interviewed in two of our Nikonians webinars) are the very first Beta users.
