Observatorio.info site is worth mentioning also ... it's the spanish translation of APOD, and it's the only language in which is translated all the 17 years of APOD. They run the spanish translation daily and they have also good sharing and social tools on the page.
Congrats to the spanish people !

I'm glad everyone enjoys the galaxy cake.

Dear APOD Crew,

here is your birthday cake I decorated for you! I could not put all 17 candles on it, if I did you would get a chocolate lava instead

Enjoy!

Haha, I'm jealous, Moonlady. I want that cake! I was thinking about trying to make a cheescake with a galaxy-shaped swirl in it.

Happy Birthday, APOD, and thanks to all -- writers, photographers, etc. -- who make APOD such an entertaining and educational site to visit. You've been my home page for at least ten years now and I always look forward to the day's new image. Thanks!!!

Wow! Happy anniversary APOD! For 17 years the team has been giving us amazing astronomical images. Thank you so much! I wish that cake was edible, though....

Judy, Judy, Judy. What a Galacticly proportioned cake. Whatever did you bake it in

[Bradleytom17again]

A most happy birthday! Thank you! I have been a daily viewer for most of those 17 years. Your views are far better than my 8 inch telescope can provide. Great job!

Beyond, you are my favorite humorist here! But geckzilla, you are my favorite cosmic confectioner on the good Starship Asterisk*.

If there is not already one there should be a galaxy named the 'APOD Galaxy' to honour this long lasting and still looked forward to site.

PS. I fancy a piece of cake now. The saying "It's a piece of cake" comes to mind, though I'm not sure why!
