We are now Bettermost, WY!  There should be a State of the Town message posted later on today from Phillip, our town founder, in the Town Hall.  All of our chats today are there for celebrating and answering questions.  If you're confused about anything specifically, PM any mod (red names at the bottom)!

This is one anniversary for which I'm not late! Very happy anniversary, BetterMost (Wyoming!), and I wish all our members and guests the very, very best--I'm so glad to be here, and have you all here with me.

Thanks again to Phillip, for having the foresight and initiative to create this online home for us. I can't imagine a finer memorial for our beloved Ennis and Jack, and the beautiful works of literature and cinema that enshrine them.

Let us continue to grow, with courage and love. Let's do it for our boys!

With love and gratitude,
Scott

Wow, this topic is a real treat for me--some of my most favorite people in the world--and BetterMost, Wyoming, is getting to be my world these days!! Thank you, luigi, for starting this topic. In about four hours we're going to meet in the beta chat room for a little birthday party, and later on tonite too. Please join us there, or add to this topic, whatever is your pleasure!!

Congratulations Phillip and John... and Ellemeno too!
Thank you so much for making this a place where bluebirds sing and there's always a whiskey spring!

Happy Birthday Bettermost!

Thanks to Phillip and John for creating this place, and for rescuing us (I am a Tremblayan) from the troll wars. I landed here on March 30, 2006. To think that Bettermost was just a toddler at that time! Boy, have we grown up fast...

As another Tremblayan, I echo that thanks for rescuing us from the trolls at IMDb. We had quite some time of it, and my ignore list on IMDb still reads like a NY phone book. Thanks again!

Happy Birthday Bettermost!!!!!!


I'm also a Trembleyan and I have to say Bettermost has becomed much more than just a forum. I know some of the original members has gone on with their lives, but I'm sure they will remember this place as second home. Thank you Phillip for opening the doors to us when the troll wars, and allowed us to continue to grow and learn from BBM, the reason for all this.

I wish to thank everyone for their good wishes, but more importantly for making a home here and coming back day after day.  So many changes are in the works that John and I have been jumping from one thing to another on our lists, and it's been more work than we thought, so we hope to spread things out over this anniversary week.  I am still working on the State of the Town address which will recap 2006 and help explain what we're aiming to do in 2007.

I especially recognize that this home must never be a one trick pony, and that even as people have managed to deal with the film, there can still be reasons to spend time here, and giving people fun things to do and ways to explore and share their own creativity are key.
You're a part of our family - BetterMost, Wyoming

Happy 1st Anniversary Bettermost! This is actually the first anniversary of the day I joined (Feb 14th) so even though I'm late to say Happy Birthday, it's also a year marker today for me. Phillip and John, you've done so much for so many people with this site. Thank you for making it a continually friendly, positive, and full-hearted place for hundreds of people to come together and share a little of our lives and our love for Brokeback Mountain. It's been high-class entertainment and so much more.

Big Birthday Blessings on you and long live Bettermost!
