Doesn't feel like 12 years sometimes... if I think about other game forum communities back then, it feels like that was a different era. Different smaller eras on other gaming websites... MMO or RTS communities. But somehow GAF has been a sort of constant behind that and literally a sort of constant -- same quality and reliability. A lot of credit to the moderation, I suppose. Also why I suppose gaf is basically the only gaming 'anything' I use... the only place I get news, talk games, get links to videos. I'll search a few FAQs or videos here and there, and I've been pretty active on other websites before but every single one I think eventually falls by the wayside. Especially at this point, 'gaming' for me is basically (and not necessarily in order of hours spent, sadly haha) either actually playing games or checking gaf.
