Celebrating 15 years of doing it DIFFERENTLY : Happy Birthday, Team-BHP!

Arjun Reddy · 14th February 2019, 07:45

Happy Birthday Team BHP.

Takes a lot from the support team to keep the content and quality of the forum as it is today. A big thank you to you guys.

Suggest an all India Team BHP meet this year. We can probably book out an entire resort for a couple of days and talk cars.

Happy 15th birthday T-bhp.

I have been part of this journey for just a short while, but it has been wonderful. I have gained knowledge, wonderful friends and immense pride in being part of an exclusive brotherhood.

Happy Birthday Team Bhp.

suhaas307 · 14th February 2019, 08:35

It's hard to imagine what my life would have been if Team BHP wasn't a part of it. I owe so much to the Forum, I simply cannot quantify it!

I've been around for about 10 of those 15 years, and through these years I've learned professionalism, discipline and dedication, amongst other things of course. Along the way, I've made some incredible friends too, and been on some exceptional drives! It's moments like these that I can't help but be nostalgic!

Happy Birthday Team BHP! May our tribe increase! May we touch the skies!

Way more important than Valentines day when we spend more time here than with our partners!

Happy 15th to all of us!

Congratulations to everyone at/on Team-BHP on 15 years! A special shout-out to the Mods for keeping the forum the way it is: crisp, on-point and fair.

The first post is important for everyone to know why the forum is how and where it is and what it takes to keep it there.

I've been on the forum for a sizeable amount of time now and I couldn't be more grateful: for the opportunity to share, to learn and several friends I've gained through the forum.

15 done, several more to go! More power to you!

Congratulations to Team BHP for 15 fulfilling years. Full credit to the founders and moderators who all work selflessly to keep the forum's standards top class and uncompromised. It is this top class quality and values that distinguishes team BHP from the flotsam jetsam of social media. To truly understand what it takes to walk the straight and narrow path in the swirling world of social media one has to only look at the happenings inside FB or the pathetic 'readers comments' you see under news articles of most on-line newspapers.

Congratulations to Team Bhp for creating a forum with very high standards of ethics, well researched reviews and good English language. I don't always agree with some of the mod actions but Kudos to all of them for going beyond the call of duty to ensure that Team Bhp continues to pursue very high standards, each and every day. Thank you all and wish you many more years of continued success.

Congratulations to our favourite site - "TEAM BHP"
Kudos to the founders who had the perseverance to continue with the site even with the advent of social media.

For me Team-BHP has been a source of knowledge on many aspects. It is like enlightenment to me on some topics. The vast user base and their views gives a different dimensions to any topic that is discussed.

Proud to be a Bhpian. Let's Live to Drive.

A very happy birthday, and many, many thanks for being what you are, team-bhp! The diligence of the moderators and the dedication of all bhpians have made this the go-to place for all things auto. Lots of best wishes, and here's hoping that future enthusiasts will celebrate the 150th anniversary with equal gusto.

Congratulations to team-bhp for completing 15 years!!

Heart-felt gratitude to you all from a simple car enthusiast like me for the service rendered over the years.

Today, when I am thinking of changing cars and got confused over which car to buy, after going through endless reviews and test drives, my wife finally tells me "check in team-bhp and take a call". The reason? She read many reviews and finally concluded the language of team-bhp is straight forward and honest, and the only one which does not stop from calling a spade a spade.

This, coming from someone who has no interests in cars or autoblogs, is proof of the kind of confidence your posts have for general public looking for some real info and not paid biases.

Over the years, I have learned about new cars, how to do PDI, the concept of NCB (it was a revelation!), teflon coating and its pros-cons, how to maintain correct tyre pressure during monsoons, what all to watch out for during servicing, and so much more!!

I thank the team of moderators and the entire community for being such a wonderful treasure trove on everything one could possible ask about cars.

just one question: was it intentional to launch it on Valentine's day?

tsk1979 · 14th February 2019, 10:26

Happy B'day. Feel proud to be part of this community for 15 years now

Time flies really fast!!

ashlil · 14th February 2019, 10:26

Happy birthday, Team-BHP. I would like to add the following two reasons as to why team-bhp is great:

1) Wonderful team of moderators. Tremendous amount of work you guy do!

2) Open and free discussion. As long as you are grammatically (or more generally, linguistically) correct, you have a definite value-add and you are not insulting someone, you are free to post your thoughts in any way you like.

Although I do not post unless I have something unique to say, I do visit team-bhp everyday. It has become a habit of mine (a good one, I think).
