HAPPY DAYS ! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year ! Twelve years ago this evening, on 24 December 1998, 20:00 GMT, a really scary big button in an old 386 Computer was pressed and the eBA-Stats.com Website went online for the first time. This Website was the first component of the actual Basketball Statistical Creative Analysis eBA Stats Group and from a start of hits numbered in the thousands, the site now gets almost 20 million hits a year. As always, an anniversary of our Basketball Statistical Creative Analysis eBA Stats Group, today we blow the 12th. candle..., is a good time to look back on the evolution of the Web and how our sites advanced... But it's a different website's anniversary: we open today the eBA PERMANENT ( 24x7x365 ) Basketball Statistics Clinic and we invite our authors, reviewers, visitors and readers to join the eBA Team to celebrate with us our 12th anniversary. eBA Stats Group turns 12 today. Which, in human terms, means we are almost teenager ! In many respects, eBA Stats Group is a different website today from the "10-page volume 1 issue 1" that appeared in December of 1998. However, when one reads the first (December 1998) and last (December 2010) editorial-articles of Founding Editor Prof. Roberto Azar, there is any doubt about why there should be an evidence of the right road we have well-traveled and what a ride it's been. The past 3 years have seen remarkable changes in the eBA Stats Group, both English and Spanish sections, and we now have 24 eBA Team Members in 11 different countries; together with 1264 Editors and 699 Publishers all over the world. The new RFM (Registered Full Members) Editors being admitted each week bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the eBA Group of Basketball Statistics Websites !. We can bet the first founders and authors of eBA-Stats.com didn't know how huge and important their creation would have become in just 12 years... As we blow out 12 candles on the eBA-Stats cake, we go on counting new pages (29.731 today, 29.732...), articles, documents and sites: the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis PERMANENT Clinic since today, eBA Stats on Twitter since September 2009, eBA Stats on Facebook since December 2008, the eBA Basketball 'everything-here' Store since October 2007, the eBA-Wiki Global Basketball Encyclopedia since January 2006. the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis Blogs since August 2005, the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis Clinics since December 2003, the eBA Basketball Statistics Forum since December 2000... All this work centralized by the eBA Basketball Statistics Portal since December 24, 1998 ~ 20:00 GMT. And this is reality THANKS TO YOU ! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year !
