In the Beginning - The Early Days of the #TeamAustralia PALnet MSP Discord Channel

Team Australia PALnet Chat Room

Tonight I was feeling a little nostalgic and decided to take a look at @Ausbitbank's early post on @Centerlink's early setup: @centerlink is open for business - these steemians are being sponsored so far.

This then got me thinking about the regular chatters in the early days of the #TeamAustralia #MinnowSupportProject chat room so I decided to take a looksy and see who was the first poster and the earlier contributors in that channel.

The first piece of invaluable information contributed to the channel was from the British Ambassador and all-round good guy @Tremendospercy on 15/6/2017:

This was closely followed by @Ausbitbank with his first comment in the channel:

@Sirknight, the master behind getting the #TeamAustralia community started was there to say Hi:

I jumped into the channel and added some wise words of my own:

@Tomekkk was an early trendsetter of talking crap in the channel too!

The wonderful @choogirl came and said Hello early on:

And not too long after she became the official recruiter for the community:

@Gohba.handcrafts was there in those early days too, well before he became the Grand Pubah:

@shellyduncan was around:

@bearone was there too:

@krystle was a big supporter from the beginning:

And @Ausbitbank was there to provide the knowledge, know-how and SP to build the accounts to support #TeamAustralia in it's early days:

In the early days, most of us had very little SP and were here to chat and support each other through. The channel has grown way beyond what it was 8 months ago and it's exciting to see the amazing work and contribution by all the newer members to the community too.

There were many other users in the channel during these times too and there are just too many to acknowledge in one post.

I would like to acknowledge the contribution of our original #TeamAustralia secretary @SirKnight for his foresight and knowledge in starting this awesome community. This is the first post from @SirKnight establishing #TeamAustralia and the foundation membership list: STEEMIT OFFICIAL PRESS SUBMISSION: 'TEAM AUSTRALIA' ESTABLISHED - 11 JUNE 2017.

I would also like to acknowledge the great foresight of @Aggroed and @Ausbitbank for establishing the #MinnowsupportProject and helping minnows grow. I know that this helped me immensely, particularly in the early days of my time on steemit.

Sometimes it's nice to look back on the humble beginnings of the community and see how much it has grown....

Thanks for reading.
