Happy birthday MacRumors 🎂.
On a personal note I can’t really believe I have been a daily visitor and contributor to a website for coming up 13 years! Crazy to see how things have changed. My tenure isn’t even that long compared to some.

My two older brothers ran a small print and online Mac magazine in the late 1990’s during their teen years. It wasn’t until later that I actually began to appreciate how difficult such a thing was to run. They idolized MacAddict magazine during its hay day. I’m an hourly visitor to Mac rumors. My heart stopped when you had server issues a few days ago. Thanks for keeping on Arn!
Jobs, like every other human being, was certainly flawed. But in no way does it diminish his genius, drive and accomplishments. I hope his family and many friends keep fond memories.
As for Macrumors, a very happy birthday! With all the forums for uneducated, nasty and bogus opinions (facts??) circulating these days, places like this are an oasis and highlight the need for responsible editorial. Thank you and please continue the great work.

While Tim Cook is obviously a great and successful CEO (with a solid value system as well), I can‘t help but miss the less diplomatic, taking-no-bull****, flawed but so utterly, utterly brilliant Steve Jobs. In these strange and dark times there would have been sooo many targets for his acerbic wit.
Also, of course, happy birthday, Macrumors, I guess. You suck up way too much of my time. 😆

Happy Birthday MacRumors! You've survived through thick and thin back when Mac users were forced into dark caves to hold ancient rituals. Now we can stand in the sunlight with pride.
I still wish Steve was around, genius aside, I miss his charisma and charm. The reality distortion field was quite strong in this one.

Happy birthday to both! 🙌 🚀❤️
MacRumors is probably the site I visit most – sometimes I go to it without being aware of what I'm doing… 😬
Really enjoy reading the articles on MacRumors and the forums is a great asset for the Mac/Apple geeks out there! 👍🤓

Happy birthday Steve and Macrumors. This place has become like a second home.
Just a nod to acknowledge Steve’s enormous contribution to the world.
Steve was diagnosed with an extremely rare type of cancer which is actually very easy to cure. I'm 99% sure that if he got the help he needed right away he would be still the CEO. It's makes me so angry that such smart man believed such bs.Happy Birthday Mac Rumors! But Jobs never liked this site did he?
But also, it's a shame Jobs didn't believe in modern medicine until it was too late.
That homeopathic BS certainly didn't help his fight against an already gloomy diagnosis.
If he had taken aggressive surgical steps at the very beginning as well as all the other standard protocols, it doesn't mean he would have survived, but my ex got 3 more years after being given 6 weeks to live. Jobs took an intellectual fight to a caged knife fight.
For 20-years, MacRumors has been a daily stop for me - through some of the more pivotal moments in Apple history. It has been a wild ride! Super grateful for both the work Arn & team continue doing on a daily basis and for creating and maintaining a great space to geek out on all things Apple. Thank you!
Let's keep it rollin!

I wanted to join in 2000, but something went wrong, gave up and didn’t join until 2003. Can’t believe it’s been long, time flies! Congratulations Macrumors and to the Mac Community here. I have an email response I got from Steve back in 2008, it said ‘Sorry, but no’.
Happy birthday. I'm glad to be here since 2001. Here's to more good years.
I feel you. I joined sometime about then as well, but eventually lost my email tied to the account and eventually had to start a new account. It was my fault for signing up with a school email address. Honestly, I think it's the community that kept this site going. We may disagree, sometimes even bicker, but never overlook the respect we have for each other.
