Thanks everybody for the props! It's nuts that some of yall have been here from the beginning, and it couldn't be a more humbling thought. I just make the platform, but you guys are all the life. 19 years and one more year until the big one! I don't care, we're going to Vegas next year, baby!
As for this year, I'm chillin. Bee and Bigshipper (and anyone else), if you guys are in town, inbox a brotha.... I'll probably be up in Fishtown, full of tequila

Wow! Vegas next year for the 20th! I think that should be my first USA trip. I'm going to ask Mike!
Congrats on another year and THANK YOU for keeping this open. There are some sites that I do not frequent as much as I used to that have been closing down this year. I am so glad you are keeping this going! We need a place to congregate and be kinky, playful, serious and just chill.
I was a lurker around the site for many years before finally making an account a handful of years back, and started to try to actively participate a bit more over the last couple years. Regardless, it's been a great site to have around for us wammers.
I haven't been to Vegas since passing through there when I was a kid (riding in the back of the old family station wagon, Griswold-style, on the stereotypical around-the-country summer vacation). A 20th anniversary UMD celebration gathering would seem like a good enough reason to do a proper visit to there.
My God can't believe it's been 19 years. I remember discovering this site way back off messyfun's link page. Congrats MM and thank you for everything you have done for the wam community.
Never press the red button unless you are prepared
Congradulations on your 19th year!! special thx to Messmaster and every one else who has made this such a wonderfull place! UMD has allways been just like a second home for me!

Absolutely. I've just created an event on the calendar. It'll be a crazy party, especially if we stay on Fremont St. smack in the middle of Cinco de Mayo. I'm designing the T-shirts now!

Cheers, MM!!! You are loved and appreciated and that could never be said enough. Congratulations on this incredible milestone and thank you SO much for all that you do. You've always been so kind and helpful to me, and everyone in this community owes you a great debt of gratitude.
I had to check my profile to see my years of service knowing I'd been here for years. 19! I must be one of the people that comes to every meeting but hides in the back not saying anything. I feel like I know all of you, sorry I haven't been sharing so you could say the same. I will say standing -fucking- ovation for everyone over the years that has contributed. We've seen people come and go, great producers and models, content and cat-fights. It means something to be with the same group for going on 20 years. A group reunion in Vegas!? That would be tempting. Maybe it can be a hotel-take-over and we'll just fill the swimming pool with pudding! No one would complain right?
Thanks for making this a great community for gay wammers as well as straight ones, even though there are fewer of us. I think solidarity between straight and gay wammers is really important.

Bigshipper said: Just wanted to jump on the bandwagon here and give props to all those behind the scenes who keep this place humming. It's been a great ride. First, to come here to find others with a mutual interest in all things messy, then later on as a contributor.
Messmaster, would love to hang for a night in Philly with you and Mrs. Bee, tipping back cocktails. Couple years back, I was in town for a conference and ate at High Street on Market and felt I just scratched the surface of the Philly food/wine scene!
Yeah, geez I've been here for 19 years too. It feels like I've been here since the womb.
I also watched Ariel grow up. Of course most of that was standing outside the fence at her school. And then came the restraining order...so that ended that very quickly.
Someday I'm going to write a novel about how the UMD changed my life...and my wife.
To quote the great WAM philosopher Soupy Garcia....."what a long, strange, messy trip it's been.
