    Happy 5th Birthday, iPod touch Fans!

    If you're confused why I just called iFans by the name of "iPod touch Fans," you are probably a newer user to the site that doesn't quite remember the days when our community was almost solely focused around the iPod touch and its various jailbreaking methods. Don't worry though, since we're really glad to have you here along with our older members that continue to show their faces within the community.

    With the iPhone 5 special media event yesterday, it dawned upon us that we completely skipped over one of our most important milestones on iFans yet. That is, our forums turned 5 five years old just last week -- September 5th, to be exact. Happy birthday, iFans!

    Nowadays, our community has grown tremendously large with over 150,000 members and almost 3 million posts. Moreover, thanks to the iPad and introduction of our official mobile app from the App Store, there are now more ways than ever to access our forums. Do you remember when and why you first joined iFans?

    I remember when it was iPod Touch Fans. I think i stumbled across this website a few times when i had my first iPod touch and I'm sure i got the answer i was looking for.

    Just noticed this account was made on the 5 year anniversary of this website. Cool!

    I joined because I saw that someone made a thread on how to use you iPod touch/iPhone as a flash drive and install ubuntu on your pc (I think thats what it was) so I thought hey why not try it with os x. I didn't then start posting occasionally until months later. My username also used to be cjthedj654

    Well actually I guess Apple was right in a way when they said the iPhone was 5 years ahead of competitors. It was just in June of this year that the Galaxy S3 finally caught up to the smoothness of iOS. 5 years later...in the same month. Wow now thats just phsychic on Apple's part.

    I joined in July 2009 when I got my 2G iPod touch. Think I found this site when googling for jailbreak instructions (wasn't that easy back then IIRC) and how to get emulators on my touch.
    Interesting enough I don't find any posts earlier then June 2011.
