Support NeoGAF

[Pakoe]

I was taking a dump and saw a notification stating that i've been a member of this community for 11 years. Got me sentimental and thinking about the last few years.

Asking my uncle if I could use his company mail so I could sign up, if registrations opened at least.
I used to roam around on many forums back then, with different types of communities (music, art, warez). It feels like all those forums shut down or the community changed for the worse (I'm looking at you BB.com).
After a while GAF was the only forum i lurked and it feels like this is the last place where the community hasn't shifted to either side. It's still a comfy forum which I still visit almost on a daily basis.

I'm 33, eventhough the last few years have been the most impactful and I've hit rock bottom, one thing hasn't changed. I still like videogames and I don't see this changing in the upcoming years.

To EvilLore, thanks for picking up the pieces when necessary. To the rest of ya'll, I'm happy to still be here and thanks for all the laughs, cries and reasons for me to hate random strangers on the internet.
Don't ever change, here's to you.

Had a good bowl of ramen and some cinnamon buns with cheesecake filling yesterday. A solid 8/10 dump.

Times changed, but we still here

11? That sure is a lot!

 

[Warnen]

see that 20 year mark rolling up soon…

 

[Dr.Morris79]

11 years well spent I'd say

 

[Trilobit]

Member since soon to be 10 years, but I was a lurker far longer than that. I only acquired a "verified" email account quite late and luckily through my internet provider. The best place to discuss games and life on.

Agreed!

 

[kurisu_1974]

Think I have been on and off here for more than 20 years. If a mod could merge my current account with kurisu74 from 2005 that would be so awesome - and if they are in an exceptional generous mood, kurisu1974 to double my post count!

Watch me get banned for alts now instead

 

[Mihos]

I was older than you when I joined in 2009.

Permed by bish for merely explaining that Europeans aren't aware of all the cultural expectations in the United States. Figures. Merged up all your accounts for you.

 

[Pewp]

Never really posted too much, but I got 17 years on this account. GAF was a pretty big part of my younger years - those 1UP podcasts threads bring back some good memories.

 

[DeVeAn]

15 Years here yikes! Still remember lurking long before my account got approved too. Time flies!

Thanks so much I am whole again!

 

[Kanyon]

Just checked myself, October 2009 registered so been here 15 years

I was taking a dump

How every thread in GAF gets started.

 

[LectureMaster]

It's simply amazing that GAF stands strong for over 20 years, a time long enough to change the whole world drastically - I hope it keeps going and I can pass my account to my descendants.

i got permed on a big WoW discord for saying that a guy from Quatar might not have the same sensibilities about Gender issues like somebody from the western world, in as many words. Its incredible what you are allowed to talk about then, and now.

 

[Xdrive05]

Young whippersnapper over here.

Happy that you've stuck around! Hope you always do.

 

[Timeless One]

I Have been using forums and gaf since 2006. And yet my english isnt my first language and wasnt good, i was just lurking around, reading, seeing the old hype that this place creates, and seeing how those leaks and people made some enemy of this place. The ups and downs of here.... im glad i was here to look at it. And after years still its the best place to actually talk about "games" themselves and thier news.

I hope gaf remains for years to come

 

[Auto_aim1]

I was lurking since 2007. Made acc in 2009 after I got a proper email. Good times.

I've been here 16 years. And technically you were leaving a dump, not taking one.

Get off my lawn
