Hello everyone!
It’s hard to believe, but the NetBird Community Forum has officially been online for a whole year! 
To mark this milestone, we want to celebrate how far the forum has come with its almost 500 members, introduce our newest CSA member (more on that later), gather your feedback, and share a quick personal note on where I hope we’re heading next.
Showcase: The 1-Year Anniversary Badge!
Have you been around with us for a while? Check your profile!
To celebrate members who have been part of the community, check out the Anniversary Badge to see if you’ve unlocked it and to view who else in the community has earned it. Thank you to everyone who has been active, contributed to the forum and helped make this a helpful place!
Welcoming a New Community Support Agent (CSA)!
Our Community Support Agent(s) (CSA) work behind the scenes and in the threads to help troubleshoot issues, answer questions, and assist members with their NetBird setups wherever they can. (Which to be fair, has only been me up until the next point)
I am thrilled to announce that we’ve just added a new member to the CSA team! Please join us in giving a huge congratulations and warm welcome to @caffeinatedtech as our newest Community Support Agent! 
Who are you?
Hey, as explained in a previous post, I’m one of the volunteer administrators of the forum. With the assistance of the staff team and the CSAs, the forum has been maintained for over a year now!
We Want to Hear From You!
Just like in our previous feedback post, we want to hear from you regarding the NetBird forum! Your input is what manages what the forum does and how it runs.
As we kick off Year 2, we’d love to gather your thoughts:
- How has your experience on the forum been over the past year?
- Has the forum helped you solve issues or set up NetBird?
- What categories, guides, or features would you like to see added, removed or improved?
Drop a reply below and let us know what’s working well and where we can improve!
A Personal Note & Looking Ahead
I personally want to extend a huge thank you directly to the @netbird-staff for giving me the opportunity to help get this forum set up and running from day one.
Building and nurturing a forum from the ground up is definitely a SLOWWWW endeavour, but it is so worth it. Real time chat platforms are great for quick chatter, but they come with heavy limitations: some conversations vanish into a paywall, solutions get lost in the sea of login-guarded threads, and troubleshooting the same issue happens over and over. This forum provides a permanent, searchable (SEO friendly), and structured space where everyone can collaborate and share knowledge!
Looking ahead, I’m hoping for an even longer and more intensive push to bring more users over to the forum. The goal remains the same: creating a central space where people can easily help each other, solve problems, and communicate about everything NetBird.
Thank you all for being part of this journey throughout the past year! Here’s to many more!
