The tenth anniversary of BC is nearly upon us. It would be a good time for us to show our gratitude to the creators and caretakers of this wonderful forum. Perhaps folks could contribute as to how BC has helped their game. Or how they have made new friends, or have learned about different parts of the world through interaction with the BC community. Could the veteran members give us the story of the origins of BC? Maybe some of you have funny stories to share. At the very least, it is time to say "thanks".
Wishing Badminton Central "A Great 10th Birthday !!!" . For us in Melbourne, Australia, Badminton Central has helped so many BCers throughout the world to play with us. We, at our CCC Badminton Club, have received so many players from other countries migrating to or visiting Melbourne, that we are pleasantly and thankfully surprised. Wishing Badminton Central "A Great 10th Birthday !!!". .
Everything in Badminton Central has been free and continues to be free I'm taking just one leaf out of a great book.
happy 10th anniversary. i still think BC should make t-shirts to let forum members show their support
What kwun was doing 10 years ago, today ? . Today in Melbourne, Australia, we have arrived at December 24th. And I am in front of the computer at our Badminton Central site. And I could imagine what kwun was doing 10 years ago. .
BadmintonCentral had a really humble beginning. 10 years ago today. I was sitting at my graduate student office while heavy snow was accumulating outside. I was supposed to be working on my research but instead I was dreaming about badminton. Since it was at night and freezing outside, nobody was available for a game. So instead I was trying to look for information on the internet. To my dismay, I found very little, and whatever I found, i did not like. So I decided to build my own site. It was originally an information site and a review site, people came to BC for articles and links. BC really florished after I added a discussion forum. And the rest, as they say is history. Badminton fans from all over the world starting coming to BC, and we talked about every aspect of badminton imaginable. Later on we started the tradition of gathering in BC during big tournament, virtually hanging out with like-minded badminton fanatics. BC originally was hosted on my desktop unix machine. The traffic was so light it was more than adequate. later on, we had expanded to a real hosted server and nowadays, BC is being handled by a 8-core super fast server. Little did I expect the little website that I started will have more than 1 million posts and tens of thousands of people from all over the world visit us regularly. It was such an incredible experience esp when i get to know and meet badminton fans from all over the world. BC is a community that will cease to exist if it were not for everyone who come here and share your thoughts. So thank you all for your continued support!
