Vinyl Engine 2nd Anniversary
Posted February 12th, 2004 by Jas
The sites exactly 2 years old today and despite numerous outages, server hacks and the odd dissenter we are still here. The library has expanded to include over 350 files, the turntable gallery is possibly the largest on the net at over 1500 images and the forum has about 15000 visitors a month. All this with no advertising, sponsership or external funding. Id like to thank (again) all those who have helped along the way, especially those who have contributed to the content on the site and given their time freely - please check out the about page for the complete roll call.
