I was thinking, we need cake! Looks like I joined about a month later and this is still my favorite spot on the Internet. But it has cost me a lot of money. Thanks to all who have made it possible.

Happy Birthday QQ! Can’t believe it’s been 20 years and I’m proud to have been a member almost that whole time!
Thanks to everyone who has posted and provided information and light hearted banter. You guys and gals are the bestest!!

Disclord's name was Ty. We became good friends. His knowledge of matrix algorithms etc. was astounding.
I miss EMB, Ed Bishop. Had an incredible knowledge and collection. Knew an astoundingly great deal about 50's Rock, doo wop, etc. I was there. Two teenage aunts living upstairs when I was three. Rockin'! Ed knew far more than me, as he was there too.
So many others we've lost. They are with us still through fond memories and great posts.
However, as many have pointed out, we've gained so much over 20 years, including our newbies. Again, the future looks bright and we're getting lots of new surround products.

Jon is #1
Happy Birthday! Man, i can't even find the words to express my gratitude for this site. I came to QQ at a dark time in my life . . . and it's gotten even darker, but this site and the people on it have helped me through, and i have no doubt it and you all will continue to do so for many years to come. Thank you ALL for ALL you do. Stay Surrounded, Comrades!
Well Happy Anniversary!!
I'm glad I found this site, too. So much great knowledge shared here: interesting discussions, and a friendly & helpful group of people.
Cheers. I'm hoisting a Pilsner Urquell to you all

Happy 20th anniversary!
This is a great site. I remember the first quad group was hosted by Delphi, then came the Yahoo group, then this magnificent, exquisite site.. I'm number 4? Huh?
I'm curious -- how many members here subscribed to the pre-internet quad newsletters Quadraphonic Quarterly, Multichannel Review and Quadtrade?

I stumbled across QQ when I was searching for any info on DVD-As back in 2002/03. Even then I couldn't believe what a fantastic resource this site was. So happy to have been an active member for 20 odd years!

Don't forget dinner at the Goses this Thursday.
Show up at 2 am bang loudly on his front door and windows and he will take you to the restaurant of your choice.
Seriously I join many in thanking you for this site and the quality of the people on it. It is an important part of our lives.

This site has been a fantastic resource for as long as I've been enjoying this hobby. Congrats to Jon and to all the others who made this possible. There aren't many sites like this one remaining. QQ is really something special, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
And you know what's funny, I was thinking about this the other day.... we're one of the more "Calmer" message boards. I mean sure, a few members over the years (myself included) have had a beef with a member or two, but more often than not; we/they/he/she is able to put their egos aside, agree to disagree (or even sometimes admit they were wrong!) and we get on with life.
I've been a member of other boards, car-related stuff, where BIG EGO's get involved, money, machismo and the occasional external genital gets thrown around. I've seen boards shut down because of members actions.... I've seen members literally put their money where there mouth is and start near-identical boards to be populated by all their friends and yes-men. That, (to my knowledge) has really never happened here. I do feel we can kind of owe that peacekeeping ability to the Big #1, Mr. Jon. Can I get a "Here Here!" to the Patron Saint of Surround-o-Philes of the internet? I'm sure I could.
There's no doubt, Jon's getting into Heaven. After 20-some years of putting up with us knobs and settling our pissing matches - he's earned that Fluffy cloud and Halo.
Cheers to you Mr. Jon and thank you for an Amazing couple of decades. I think I can safely say none of us would be here if it weren't for you.

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Thank you Jon for starting this forum and happy anniversary. I visit the site every day and often many times a day, I now have a huge collection of surround music and I've run out of room to store it all, I need to move to a bigger home (not gonna happen) Here's to 20 more years of QUADRAPHONICQUAD!
Happy anniversary and congratulations... Twenty years is quite an accolade 
Happy anniversary to this site who open my mind to more channels.
This group of people and the website were a revelation to me. I only listen to surround music and here I can read and learn continuous new ideas and thoughts.
Certainly deserves a single malt to celebrate (At least one....)
Thank You and I look forward to another 20 years!
Happy 20th, QQ! My own infatuation with quad dates back some 52 years, when I first heard what would quickly become something I couldn't live without. Even during quad's "dormant period", which was from the late 70's, when quad began to fade, until home theater, I continued to seek out quad records to build up my collection. When DVD-A promised to bring surround music back, I was ready. SACD multichannel? Bring it on! DTS CD? The more, the merrier! I'm a diehard quadraholic, and there's no cure!
I did, all three! And I was on the first versions of QQ too, although one of them I remember, they had to take down to fix something, and when they rebooted, I had to re-join which changed the date that showed when I joined later.
