Giganews Party Photos!

12-May-08

Giganews would like to thank all our loyal members, webmasters, and
well wishers who joined us on 10 May 2008 for Giganews’ 10th year
anniversary party in Paris.

It was great getting to meet so many people from the Usenet world,
and it was inspiring to watch everyone connect and get to know each
other.

Our staff and friends had a wonderful time and are very thankful to
everyone who attended.

Without the support of members and webmasters, Usenet would be a
much less interesting place.

We hope you enjoy the pictures. We’ll have the videos up soon :)
