Believe it or not, @SpiceRex turns 14 today, 2024-03-27T05:00:00Z! For those of you who have been in the Spiceworks Community for a while, you probably already know who the big orange Tyrannosaurus rex is. But some of our members may not, so let’s give a little history lesson about this specific dinosaur and why he is so important.
Fourteen years ago, our original Pure Capsaicin, @akp982 , submitted SpiceRex as a part of a contest where we asked members to show us their spiciness . We learned that akp982 discovered SpiceRex as a baby near Marlow, England (90 minutes west of London) and affectionately dubbed him “SpiceRex.” And from there, SpiceRex’s fame quickly grew.
Why is he important? SpiceRex is not just the Community mascot, he is a symbol for IT professionals everywhere and his roar is a rallying cry! In the immortal words of Vegeta, his power level, “it’s over 9,000!” Much, much more. SpiceRex’s power level is easily in the millions as is our Community! And when he’s not saving the world from zombies , on assignment in London , or blasting off into space , he’s working tirelessly (and fiercely) for all of you. And, as we all know, having the support of millions of IT pros is not something easily overlooked or ignored.
