Happy birthday to Western Civ Forum

The forum turns 9 years old today.  While she's looking a bit worse for the wear these days, she's still chugging along.

Congrats! 9 years old is still infancy, the best is still ahead

In dog years, though, it's around middle age (I think).

Do we measure internet websites in dog-years?

[Phidippides]

Lol, I guess we should.  Or at least something similar to dog years.  Web sites often don't stick around forever unless they're run by some large corporation (Amazon, Yahoo, etc.).I took a look at this dog-human age charts:http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/how-to-calculate-your-dogs-ageAnd I saw that small and large breeds age differently (relative to human years).  We had a small dog growing up that I think died at age 17, which would have put him in his mid-80s.

OUr dog is now 10 and weighs right at 50 pounds.  She is getting a little grey around the muzzle and sedentary but still very healthy and will even chase the ball around although she tires faster now.  She is also not a purebred.

Well, looks like we’re 19 years old today.  It’s a ghost town here, but the compendium of knowledge is still in tact.
