Just want to express my appreciation to the moderators and all the folks who bring us the APOD. Well done!

I feel sorry that I discovered APOD "only" a few years ago
Happy 12th Birthday!

ha ha, moderators here have nothing to do with APOD :p

Well the "Discuss" link on APOD leads to this sub-forum, so it's safe to assume that you have at least something even remotely to do with it

Congratulations to APOD on 12 years of entertaining and educating us, its lucky discoverers! And many thanks to the creators and support staff for your dedication. Personally, I've learned much about astronomy and science in general from the daily APODs and following the interesting links from them. Please keep up the great work.

Thank you for sharing beautiful images for 12 years. It makes my morning every day.

Hope to continue to infinity...

Happy Birthday, APOD, and thanks for the fantastic voyages you have provided. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the fantastic work!--and congratulations for 12 years of maintaining one of the most fascinating, provocative, and illuminating sites on the web!! I keep APOD as my "home" webpage so I won't have to miss anything.

I beg to differ, as the forum you run has greatly increased my interest (and knowledge) in the subject matter.
Please don't sell yourself short, great value is placed by the people who visit this forum as well as APOD.

A happy 12th birthday, and huge thankyou to everyone who participates in producing the APOD everyday for us...it's taught me such a lot over the few years I've been visiting the site, and I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Happy Birthday APOD. A great site .

Andy, we (moderators) do not "run" this forum, we only keep it clean. As I recently said, I think you can join in, I guess we could always make use of another spam fighter. Nereid is currently board admin, but I'm affraid she's not "running" the board either, in that she can't make changes to board software, etc. RJN is real boss, he's that man who picks a pictures also, but you just don't see him around often.

Happy Birthday, APOD! You're like the visually fascinating and Universe-sized 12-year-old sibling I never had.

aside: two of my housemates and one of my coworkers share APOD's birthday (but not year)

Ah I see.
Well, in keeping it clean you make it a very worthwhile resource.
If not for the mods it would degenerate into a right old mess.
Anyway, the offer is genuine and I have some experience cleaning dirt off the floor.
And a Happy 12th Birthday to APOD too.
Puberty next year...

Thank you SO much for broadening my mind and feeding my spirit by bringing the Universe to me every day!

Ohhhh my gawd, next year APOD becomes a teen ager.

Next thing you know, APOD'll be wanting to fly the SkyCar around town.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
