Member Dav… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Happy 12th Birthday, Typophile! Favourite moments in Typophile history? At one point being part of what I would call ‘The Typophile Type ID All Stars’, back in the day. ;) (And of course valuable insights and views on typography & type design, in general.)

Member hra… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That crazy one with lesbian philosophers. BTW, there's something I need to get off my chest, after all these years: I'm really really sorry I missed the first two weeks. ;-> hhp Link to comment
Member Joe… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 One of the longest Typophile threads spans 9 years and began in October 2002: What are you listening to? Link to comment

Member Ric… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Anyway, one of my favourite thread is one in which, unfortunately, I didn’t partecipate:http://typophile.com/battle32 Link to comment

Member dtw… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 What Riccardo said – in fact, most of the early type battles where there was a lot of participation. Happy birthday Typophile :^) Link to comment

Member The… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Next week will only be my fourth year, but I've had a lot of entertainment already. For some reason unknown this thread, for example, appears in my "Recent activity" list: Where do I get Neo Sans Family?. As with all older threads -- dug up deliberately by some Johnny-come-lately, risen from the ashes because of a misdirected Google search, or brought back to life by a mischievous spammer -- I cannot help wondering if this guy ever found his personal Holy Grail o'Fonts, or just went ahead and became an accountant, woodworker, or Adobe Helpdesk operator, got married, fathered two children, and never thought back on his whimsical post on a Typophile's hangout. (Probably not the part about marrying as that thread is just 2 years old.) Link to comment
Member rs_… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Gerald Giampa annoyed me a lot, but I miss him, he was a big contributor. Link to comment
Member Fro… Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 From the Neo Sans thread: “If I buy and download only Neo Sans Regular, is it possible that I italicise and bold this font?” Hahaha! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 congrats on the web, 12 years is several lifetimes, an accomplishment Link to comment
Member mik… Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I miss, miss giggles :) Link to comment
Member Ber… Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 @Mike: Well, Miss Giggles spawned ‘schools’ of lazy students, begging for info and pointers and even ready-to-go papers to present to their professors (why aren’t those on Typophile?). Anyway, this is one of a very select group of sites I visit everyday, in fact several times a day… Must be a reason for that. Link to comment
Member bri… Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm quite disappointed not to havegg been around earlier. Not so much to join in the conversions but that some of the old threads are utterly screwed from system updates. Anyway, yay twelve years! :D Here's to twelve more. Link to comment
