Now, we're officially 2 years old today!!!
How time flies as it was only a moment ago when we first came online and quickly established ourselves with the support of many members, many kind advertisers and a team of hardworking Moderators!!! 
Despite some critics who thinks that there could only be one site for this reefing community, we now have the best support of most the local players in the marine fish/coral industry, with some more to come!!
We've also managed to keep Spam Bots (a problem with many poorly managed online sites today) at bay with almost a zero incident record after an initial infiltration!
We've opt to keep the forum clean for everyone without spam and thrash instead of allowing such bots to artificially inflating the true members count! 
We don't need large numbers to gain support! 
We've also fostered strong bonds and friendship with reefers from all over the world including Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, USA, Philippines, Australia and even Canada!!!
We've done all these this with the help of everyone, especially so with the help of a dedicated the team of Moderators, both past and present as they are the true unsung heros, in dedicating their precious time and and rendering their kind assistance to make this online forum a truly magnificent one!
Would also like to take this opportunity to thank every one of the Moderators for their help and time during this period when I'm up to the neck with work!!
As we move into our 3rd year, we hope to provide and share even more reliable and accurate information on all reefing experiences and help all our members to improve and become fine marine aquarists!
It is only when we have a strong base of fine marine hobbyists, would this truly become a great marine online site!! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABSOLUTE REEF ONLINE!!
