How did IPF start?

The lead seems to start with iDan, but I haven't gotten any further

Who is iDan? What year would this be, last or year before last?

iPadForums.net was originally started as iSlateForums.net when Apple Tablet rumors were first going around. Being huge technology nerds, we were very excited about the next wave of tablets (Android and Apple) that were coming out and wanted to develop a good resource for Apple Tablet owners. During the first announcement of the Apple iPad we quickly changed the name and iPadForums.net was born.

As you can see with this post, I was one of the first to pre-order the iPad 1:

We have a lot of fun running the site and have since expanded with the recent addition of iPhoneForums.net. We have developed many good friends on the forum and look forward to the future!

Wow, thanks iDan! That was interesting reading! I missed out on the initial rush because the price sort of put me off! I'd just bought an iPhone 3GS in February.

Besides, you two are such spoilsports! Why didn't you just say, instead of making me guess or go back onto the website again and get all confused!!! Has Colin got back with any information yet?

Over a 1000 posts ~ does not constitute a newbie.:D

To be fair, Colin already posted the almost same response about a week ago, with Hayley having the last word in that thread, as usual. :)

And this has what to do with my response to her newbie post? Who is talking about Colin's post, here^^?

Okay, I'm home now, who is having last say? I still consider myself a newbie with technical stuff but not with friendly banter though, you know, chatting with and making new friends! Isn't that what we do on here! Damn! Why didn't you tell me that! No wonder I get grief. Hiya, Marie! How is your day going? I'm relieved it's Friday. Oh yes, I must post in your Friday drinking thread, what happened last week? I don't you doing it, or was I so drunk, I can't remember? I love you all, don't forget that. Of course, Marie is my BFF.
