The Greenhouse - 10 years strong

Image

January 6 marks the tenth birthday of The Greenhouse, and we now enter our 11th season as still the biggest and best Canberra Raiders supporters site on the net!

We say it every year, but it's true... it's been another huge year for The Greenhouse. We have 2,700 members of the forum, over 20,000 followers on Facebook and over 3,500 on twitter. On all our social media platforms, including Instagram and Pinterest, we have more than 32,000 followers.

Whenever big news breaks, it is The Greenhouse the supporters come to. And whenever people want to know what Raiders fans are thinking, it is The Greenhouse they come to.

It's all thanks to you, the members and followers of the site.

But two people, Nick and Ed, deserve singling out, as the founders of the site. Without them, none of it would have been possible. Thanks to them both.

We promise to get bigger and better in 2015. Hopefully it's a premiership winning season!

Who could have imagined what this site would turn into when it started off a breakaway group on Proboards.

Well done to all.

Tremendous site fellas huge congrats to all involved in keeping it together. May be slightly over moderated but I guess that keeps the flame wars low key. Thumbs up for another 10 years.

There's one reason and one reason alone that TheGH has grown to be such a substantial supporter site as it is now, and that is the hard work and vision of our GE.

While as users we don't see very much of the time and money he has invested in this site, both are very substantial. While it's obviously a labour of love, that in no way diminishes the amount that GE has contributed to getting this awesome little community to where it is today. Certainly, my life would be infinitely more productive without the hours spent trolling around here, but God knows I'd miss the place.

So while I will be back to making his life difficult with inappropriate posting by this time tomorrow, on the occasion of our 10th birthday I think it's worth to pause and on behalf of everyone say a big thank you to the man himself, Greeneyed.

I love you, GE. Looking forward to catching up at the Auckland 9s and shouting you a light beer or two.

Keep up the good job.

This site has grown into the best Raiders site. If I want to know whats happening this is the place I come to.

Thanks to the founders R69 and ED who got it off the ground and to GE who has grown this site into what it is today and continues to grow it. The amount of time and effort he puts in can not be underestimated.

Thank you

To everyone who contributes , thank you also , we all have our opinions and they vary over the full scale , but we are what make this site interesting.

Nickman, you were not the first person on The GH to post often and about nothing. The Chat thread: http://www.thegh.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2218

In those days, they did it only in The Lime Lounge. Or so we hoped.

I used to pretty much stay out of the Chat thread.

I thought 'I'm here to talk footy' :doubt:

Great work from GE and anyone else responsible for keeping the GH running.

I'm still waiting for GE to drop by for that beer btw.

Are you there friend ?
