View Full Version : NS Anniversary 2011

NS celebrated it’s 9th birthday on June 17th 2011, and I’d like to say thank you to each and everyone of you for being a member of NS.

Once upon a time...

Myself and former co-founder Warunee bought the domain naughty-seduction.net, and started dreaming of a place for Chlex fans. It's been 9 years since then.

NS came from a small site. It started with Warunee and I having each our Chlex site, and then deciding to merge them together to form one Chlex site in hopes of creating a haven for fans.

Ever since we announced we were creating NS, we grew steadily each year. We’ve grown not because of massive advertisement, but by word of mouth and recommendations from our members.

What amazes me every day is how nice the people of NS are! Since the beginning, we’ve had very little so called fandom wars and trolling. We’ve had a few ill-mannered users here and there, but that’s to be expected.

Sadly, some of the original members are long gone, but their legacy lives on in the content they’ve made for us fans.

Our biggest asset is our large archive of user generated Chlex content. In writing moment we have over 1300 fanfictions (sadly over 490 are in the graveyard) and a lot of music videos and artwork.

We’ve shown our appreciation by creating several award shows over the years, by having fanfiction awards, music video awards and award shows where we crown our own NS Forums members with special titles!

We also try to give holiday spirits, by having several holiday events, such as the ever popular Advent Calendar where we count down to Christmas Eve with special Chlex material every day from December 1st and until December 24th.

Two other holiday events we’ve had are the Secret Fanfiction Santa, putting a little spin on the traditional Secret Santa, and the Christmas Card Exchange, where people exchange Christmas cards to one another.

NS has become more than just a Smallville forum, it has become a true community of friendships. We continue to gather not just because of our love for Chlex, but also because we’ve made friends with people from all over the world.

I as one of the founders of NS have watched this community grow these past 9 years, and I too have made friends here.

I appreciate all of your support over the years as well. Not just the financial support, but your time and dedication. There’s no way I could have kept NS alive if it wasn’t for you.

To celebrate our 9th birthday, and to thank each and every one of you, we’ll have some fun stuff during this month long celebration! Since I’m a tad late with getting this up, I’m making August our celebration month!

I sincerely thank each and every one of you, for making NS the great community that it is, and I hope we can stick together a little longer!

Stay tuned for more news and tidbits about the upcoming celebration!

Sincerely,

Julie Hoaas

Glad to hear your aunt's on the mend.

I can't wait to see what you've got planned for us. NS is a wonderful community because of its people and just as we've survived seven seasons without Chlex, I believe we'll be around for quite sometime beyond SV. This is a corner on the net that I'd certainly miss. *sniff*

I haven't visited NS for a while; RL keeps interfering. That said, I do enjoy visiting this forum. The people here are friendly, witty and intelligent (not something you can take for granted these days). I know it takes real dedication and a lot of work to keep an online community alive for such a long time. Thank you Julie for all the hard work!

Belated Happy Birthday NS - speaking from personal experience, the folks on this site have been so supportive over the years - I never would have made so many vids if it wasn't for knowing that there was a group of hardcore chlexers trying to get their hands on the next chlexy fix!

Roll on August!!

Wow. 9 years ... which pretty much means I've been around for all that time ... and I remember when this was just getting off the ground. I have to say, NS.net got me through some hellish times in RL ... and I've never been so happy to have (and still have) such wonderfully Chlex centric things at my fingertips. This site has always provided my Chlex escape and introduced me to so many new and wonderful people--many of whom while I might not hear from for a while, but are always on my mind. There's something really special about this community and those who have been around, are new, and/or keep coming back for more.

It's a testiment to both of you as the founders, and all the fans that we're still going--even when Chlex went by the wayside on our screens years ago. That says something about this site, the friendships made here, and the wonderful work that continues to make me smile and be ever so glad to say I'm still a proud Chlexer.

Congrats on 9 years ... I wouldn't have made it without you all and this site!
