PPG is become an ADULT Today! So it seems to
be natural that there will be some changes...

...it has grown into something more, than you have
planed for, Etienne. You became an Adult yourself
in those days... 🙂

YOU DID QUITE WELL ETIENNE
PPG has grown up

My Question for you, Etienne: What moved you, back in the days?

My Question for you, Etienne: What moved you, back in the days?

In a nutshell: I loved having penpals when I was a teenager and I was getting into programming, so I thought "why not do both" 😃. Doing this 18 years later was not part of the initial plan but here we are somehow 😅️

Happy birthday Penpal Gate. Happy birthday @Etienne. Often the people on this site don't realize Etienne's work and dedication. Everyone wants new things, new updates, new opportunities. Sometimes we don't realize that Etienne has his own life. He's always available to answer any questions, but we shouldn't be too boring with him 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆

We have a great captain🤵

Like I said to Mare earlier, today is essentially everyone's anniversary. Thanks everyone for keeping the boat afloat 😃

Monsieur @Etienne can i ask abt what u wrote above: u said that u liked penpals when u started PPG right. Sooo do u still have contact with some of them?

And i have one more question sorry!!! 😛 😛 Do u like how PPG is now or do u prefer it to be different? Things change a LOTTT all the time like for example there were a lot of new members from Belgium and i think now maybe from Italy? And forum messages are different too than in the past. So im curious what u think of it. 🙂

Etienne: it is a delight to witness your eloquence being kept afloat on par with this online venture. Well done skipper!

Thank you Savi for your kind words and I am always happy to read you here and there 🙂

Sorry Yue, I forgot to write back:

I am loosely in touch with a couple from a very long time ago yes, that's about it

I'm just happy to see people who like to come and do their thing, whatever it may be. Some do private messaging only, some like forums, some like trivia, some are only interesting in practicing languages, it's nice to cater to all kinds of appeals 🙂
