May 18 was International Museum Day, and while we might not have marble columns or velvet ropes, we do have something just as worthy of preserving right here on THWACK®. In the past two decades, the THWACK community has grown, built, and redefined connections. With a birthday right around the corner, we thought it was the perfect time to open the THWACK archives and take a walk down memory lane.
Today, we’re unlocking a digital exhibit of THWACK’s greatest hits.
We’ve seen unforgettable mission themes, bracket battles that sparked friendly debates, and limited-edition store items that caused full-on ordering frenzies. Before we invite you to share your part of the exhibit, we’re showcasing a few standouts from the past below.
Which ones do you remember? Which made you totally nerd out?
Of course, THWACK isn’t built on content alone—it’s built by the people who show up, participate, and make this space what it is. And that’s where you come in. We’ve stocked the THWACK Store with some brand-new items, and now we want to see what you’ve been holding onto. Maybe it’s a photo of your favorite SolarWinds pin, a piece of OG swag, or a gift you received as an MVP. Maybe it’s an item that still makes you smile.
Drop a photo or a story in the comments below. We’ll select one lucky community member to win a prize from our THWACK store.
This is just the beginning of what’s coming in the weeks ahead, but before we blow out the candles, we’re taking a moment to look back—and we’d love for you to be part of that reflection.
Thanks for being part of the story. Now… what’s in your archive?
