[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1615647, member: 12578"] As to the original question. According to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes.co.uk']Wikipedia [/URL]the site was launched in 2002. I remember there being a forum when I was diagnosed in 2004 . This had the symbol of a hummingbird, not unlike that used by Diabetes UK at the time ( I remember being quite cross about the similar logo and the name of the website causing confusion which is one reason. I didn't join at the time ). My 'memory' which might be based on a false assumption was that the people who ran the forum had to close down in c 2007 at which point some members started another small , still existing forum. Then the present owners took over management. However, it maybe that I have muddled 2 forums in my memory.(?) The [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20030215000000*/diabetes.co.uk']wayback machine[/URL] supports the Wikipedia date with Sitefinders owning the domain back in 2002 (and anonymous owning the domain name before that) The archived earlier pages certainly have the hummingbird logo as I remember it.
