20th Anniversary Happy 20th Anniversary, Baby!

Happy 20th Birthday Bluelight!​

Did you know

We started life as the MDMA Clearinghouse, running off the back of a server for a business called Bluelight? That's how we got our name, for those that were unaware.​

Did you know

We ran ubb threads on that old MDMA Clearinghouse, but made the jump to vBulletin and rebranded our site as Bluelight.nl when we relaunched in those early days?​

Here's something

Most don't know that the site, as we know it today, first properly came alive in October of 1999. Specifically, if you go to the 'Member' pull down up top and select the OG Accounts option from the left side, you can see who joined starting earliest to most recent. There are a few oddities, but you'll see the wave of registrations began October 21, 1999. That was the day the site was opened up, and the internet was changed forever...​

With this in mind, we'd like to do something special for our 20th Anniversary. The staff are checking into a few ideas, but more minds makes better ideas, more hands make quicker work. So, what thoughts might y'all have, our dearly beloved members? What things should we do to properly celebrate this historic milestone for our forum? Chuck them at us, no matter how outrageous or unrealistic, and we'll eventually get some do-able ones ​

I will say

To my knowledge, we've only ever used the software's email blast once, in around 2007, when we had to reset everyone's passwords. So we are looking at sending a message out to ALL accounts leading up to this special date. Obviously, many will be defunct or abandoned, but we're hoping some are still active and that we can bring back a few of our OG members for the occasion.​

We should also

Have a steady build up via our FB and twitter accounts - though this requires some brainstorming on what to send out on social media that builds up to this. I'll be honest, the other item I'd like to look into is a proper dark theme for the site. It would give us a sweet alternative to the standard blues, which we know not everyone likes, and being dark can kinda lend itself to Halloween shortly thereafter, right?!​

But those are just a few of our ideas....what you got, our amazing members from all across the world??​

 

Hi Bluelight! It's been a long time since I've posted. I used to practically used to live on this forum - good times!
Happy 20th Birthday!
Love and best wishes. xxx

 

Woahhh this dark theme is fucking slick.

Are you teasing me TLB? Or is it that CFC character.

What a website, this place changed my life, really. I'd have never found the beauty of alternative hedonism and the fucking cool people that come with it.

Big up BL

Edit. Jesus christ, how the fuck are people meant to know that I had a 2003 start date? I could be taken for a noob!

Oh shit I thought that was just my phone. Oh my god how are people going to see my 18k posts and my ‘05 start date.

 

Wow this theme is really slick. BL has come far in just the past year, perfect way to ring in 20 years May you all stay in good health and wealth!

*scrawls Kilroy Was Here on the wall*

We will just have to keep slipping our start dates in to random conversation.

Play it cool; I certainly don't want everybody figuring out why I'm saying I joined up here in the year 2003, sixteen years ago.

 

Good golly, I haven't posted since 2011 lol

Still recognize some names though, crazy.

Bon Anniversaire!

 

I say, this theme's better but I think @TheLoveBandit will add another theme to the main forum somewhere in the future. So y'all can chill for now and dunno if knew but there's an extension on Opera browser dunno bout others because I don't use them, but in Opera there's this shit called ''Stylus' which basically changes everything you want about a specific site, if you have some progamming knowledge you can make something out of it.

 

Hi Bluelight, I got your email. Haven't seen you for a loooooong time :D

 

Well done guys. Lot of lives saved and improved as well as countless friendships and even some weddings along the way. Good times!

 

20 years seems so crazy to me but joining 17 years ago seems even more unbelievable!

 

I’m thinking to keep this dark theme for the forum From here on out

 

Anyone disagree?

 

Happy 20th Birthday Bluelight!​

Yes happy birthday bluelight cant say it enough

 

Happy Birthday Bluelight
Thank you to everyone who makes this resource possible.

 

I love this site and am glad to see it still running stronger than ever

Not to go off topic, but yeah, this is a full and dedicated dark theme we bought (didn't patch together ourselves). However, it has a lot of things that need tweaking before we can roll this out as an option for users across the site. We figured to at least get it out for the 20th Anniversary celebration period in here to give folks a taste, but it will roll out fully in a month or two after we finish cleaning it up (like all the join dates and such).

 

Happy 20th anniversary BL

 

Today's the day -- viz 23. October 1999? So that means I started lurking about two months later after doing research on MDMA and MDA as potentiators for morphine, dihydromorphine, hydromorphone and the like . . . then it became more impressive, the only site for a long time with an actual mention of dimethylthiambutene.

That night was the occasion of a giant sex and hydrocodone/morphine/oxycodone party as well, with C-Jam as well . . .

 

Not sure where the years have gone, but Happy Birthday Bluelight.
