Five years ago today, the Smoking Lounge was founded. This forum is the birthplace of the famed Gatehouse Gazette, and the place where I started seriously interacting with other Steampunks. I have also made some real friends there and remain a contributor to the blog, the forum and the (now sporadically published) Gatehouse Gazette.
Happy Birthday, Smoking Lounge!
