1,000,000 Members!

My Opera is our collective pride and joy. First launched in September 2001, it was just a forum for Opera fans... But, today; it's a dynamic community with thousands of people posting and contributing cool stuff every day! We owe a big "thank you" to each and every one of you! We often like to refer to you as the 1^st generation in... "My Operanians". You've helped us set the tone (and direction) in the community.

Here's how we've evolved over the years. We've compiled a short (but nostalgic) set of screenshots for you:

The My Opera History

• First version with forums and Opera files!
• Introducing the first CSS based & Mobile friendly design... Among other things.
• We got merchandise!
• Browser customisation and revamp of the site.
• The Opera Man's first (and last) appearance on My Opera.
• First time we introduce blogs and photo albums to the public!
• New cool design with many features still in place.
• The infamous Halloween Hunt — Which we aim to repeat this year as well.
• Only four days before we revamped the frontpage and much of the blog designs.
• New (and existing) My Opera community site is revealed!

When we reached 500,000 members back in September of last year we asked members to write a short post about My Opera. Needless to say, they shared some great stories. We decided to do something similar this time as well. Simply click on a profile to read what they have to say about My Opera.

Oh, by the way, we encourage everyone to share your favorite My Opera memory, either as a comments or on your blog!
