With it just gone 10 years of NZFF, it puts it into some sort of perspective B-)

FlightSim.Com 20th Anniversary
It's hard to believe, but it was twenty years ago on this very day that we flipped the switch and opened FlightSim.Com to the public, creating the very first full-featured community on the World Wide Web for flight simulator enthusiasts.

On opening day we had a handful of articles, a well-designed message forum system and a library with some 2500 files, making it the largest collection of flightsim add-ons available for download anywhere. My, how we've grown since then!

Indeed, you said it Mike B-) , very easy to upload very large files and the great thing knowing they are safe.
