Happy 5th Year Anniversary HotCouponWorld!

[queenofthehivemomof5]

Wow! I cannot believe that on July 10th, 2006 HotCouponWorld opened up it's doors for registration of new members and here we are 5 years later still going strong! When Julie and I started HotCouponWorld we never expected it to grow into such a large couponing community. Our goal was to just start a couponing forum "for couponers by couponers". We wanted to have a place to hang out and enjoy the camaraderie and deals and hang out online with our fellow couponing friends. Little did we know that 5 years later we would still be growing at almost 300,000 members!

We have seen a lot of changes to the site over the course of these 5 years. Just check out the original HotCouponWorld logo from 2006!


We have been through (and survived) so much too. Hacked by terrorists in our first year, the 2008 presidential election (and all the crazy posts in the Hot Under The Collar forum) and season one of "Extreme Couponing". LOL

And through the past 5 years we have created great friendships with some of our members, answered thousands of questions, made tons of great trades, congratulated members who had new babies, shared in the loss of family members, grieved over the loss of our own Super Mod Pappys and momof4inmi (Super Mod Cheynesnana's daughter). Together as a community we have helped raise thousands of dollars in HHH funds to help other members out during tough times. We have given scholarships to other HCW members to help go back to school and just said a prayer or sent a cyber hug to someone going through a rough time.

While there are tons of deals, tips, money saving advice, coupons, and coupon trades going on at HotCouponWorld, I think the thing I am most proud of is the true sense of community that we have here.

So anyways...I am getting teary eyed already thinking about how proud I am of this community! I want to say THANK YOU to each and every member here at HotCouponWorld, THANK YOU to our great Super Mods and Forum mods and THANK YOU to my fellow admins Lesley and Julie. HotCouponWorld could not be here without each and every one of you. It is YOU that makes HotCouponWorld the great place that is is.

PS: Stay tuned in the next few days to this forum (the Announcements Forum) as we will be posting some really fun contests and giveaways as we do each year. I am working on getting all the details together...but I promise there will be contests! My mom is visiting us from CA and it hard to get work done while she is here as I am playing Wyoming tour guide.
