Today 17th April 2017 Andalucia.com is celebrating its 21st anniversary.
We have compiled a page messages from some of the team, well wishers and our steadfast forum moderators, El Cid and Beachcomber, not forgetting Benidorm.
The page can be viewed here http://www.andalucia.com/21st-Anniversary-2017

This forum was founded in 1997 slightly after the main Andalucia.com website with “The Basic Bulletin Board Script” using perl scripts from the legendry ‘Selena Sol Public Domain Script Archive’. Each of the half a dozen sections was a separate installation and they became was very popular.
The current software dates back to May 2004 and was chosen by Edward Chaudhry who was Andalucia.com’s first placement student (Computer Science at Loughborough University) and is now a British Airways Line training Captain. Edward chose phpBBS software, set up the forum and in early June 2004 invited about a dozen members to beta test. One of the original testers; ‘avellana’ is still an active member today.
Incidentally much has been debated about the rationale behind the naming convention of the Andalucia.com forum ranks. (Newbie, Tourist, Andalucia.com Amigo, Resident, Andalucia Guru). The truth is there was little rationale, just some names that Edward came up at the time, and the name have never been changed.
A big thanks to all the forum members from all the team at Andalucia.com.
Happy 21st Birthday!

Re: Andalucia.com - Happy 21st Birthday!
It's great to see that Andalucia.com is still alive and well after 21 years so I really have to say 'Well Done' to all involved and that has to include the many forum members who have given their time freely to pass on advice and information, quite often without thanks from the recipients...I have to add...
Also may I ask the 'quiet' members and potential members to join in and add their experiences and advice, everyone has something of interest to share..
Congratulations A.Com from Gordon and Pauline.
