I just realized, it's the 20th anniversary of The Network in general. Or it's about to be.
While Mew had other plural experiences throughout his whole childhood, The Network itself didn't start to solidify as an identity or organization until the first half of 2004, the second half of the 4th grade in the US for us. Mew was 9. We know this because we can look up online when people's worlds were coming out; that's when we would have gained them. And all the people that have been in here the longest - minus Mew - that's when we would have gained them. Any plural experiences before then, even when they overlapped, never got solidified into The Network as a social structure, organization, and identity.
So happy early 20th anniversary to our oldest members, and to The Network as a whole. May we have many, many more.
