The Elixir Programming Language Forum is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a milestone recap: nearly 10M emails sent, 100M+ pageviews served, $100K+ in prizes given away, and close to 400K posts made by members. The post reviews the forum's philosophy around SEO, community building, and moderation policies that shaped it into a distinctive resource. It also announces upcoming structural changes to the forum in response to LLMs and shifting usage patterns, moving away from some legacy policies like single-thread-per-library. The update includes 2025 Members of the Year awards, a review of notable 2025 Elixir ecosystem releases (TideWave, Phoenix.new, Hologram, Oban for Python, and more), birthday giveaways including ebooks from PragProg and Manning, and discounts from sponsors.
