Just realised I'm coming into my 7th year as a MariaDB user.

You know what? IN ALL THAT TIME IT HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN
I can't even remember the last time I had to run a repair. It never seems to crash or go wrong once setup and working.
I've upgraded every few months and nothing has gone wrong while upgrading any of my machines.
Don't know what anyone else thinks but I think MariaDB is the best database software MySQL sucks.
