I didn't get a "harrumph" from that guy.

Hip hip! Wim MoPo List User Op 24 feb 2015, om 20:09 heeft Scott Burns het volgende geschreven: Well we made it to 20 after all! Today marks MoPo's 20th Anniversary. For the last couple of years, our anniversary has been preceded by a discussion about how little we actually discuss posters on this forum. This year it was John Reid's February 12th post, "How MoPo has Changed," pointing out the lack of discussion or comment on movie posters. In 2014, in time for our 19thbirthday, Helmut posted an analysis of MoPo posts (84% were either auction or for sale posts) and former member Bruce H. mentioned how 2 other poster forums are pretty dead. I find it just an interesting coincidence that this seems to happen just about every February 24th! But no matter.MoPo is still chugging along. We've survived longer than I ever dreamed (much longer than the majority of Hollywood marriages). On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was distributed via American University's listserv. There were 11 members at the start, and as is my annual custom, I recognize these MoPo pioneers: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (we lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a member), Jeff Static (AOL'er Static555), Adam Ehrlich and myself. In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Last year I wondered whether MoPo would make it to 20, or if it even should. Well, here we are and I guess we'll soldier on.at least until American University decides to shut down their listserv! I do hate to see longtime members leave, (Poster seller Bruce Hershenson and the prolific Tom Martin are 2 examples of people who exited this past year), but that's the way of Internet forums. Thanks to all of you for keeping this relic of the 20th century alive for yet another year!
