I remember lurking on Gaming Age and I lurked when NeoGAF first started because I didn't know quite where it would go. Finally signed up one day and I'm amazingly still here ten years later. While I don't necessarily see eye to eye with everything that has gone on (not unexpected - we all have opinions), I've still considered this a home of sorts and met some amazing people on here that my life has been made better for.
Congrats GAF! This is the only gaming site I trust these days. Incredible once you consider all the other news sites, Twitter, and Reddit content out there.
Congrats to all of GAF - the admins, the mods, the banned, the lurkers, the juniors, the non-juniors, the OGs, the newGs and of course, GAF Gold members!
I've seen big changes to NeoGAF over the last 10 years, in terms of reliability of the site and moderation - for the better. Its a top-tier site for culling the stupid out and creating a community where good discussion can happen. Fine work indeed.
I might as well offer my kudos to this site, because it's such a useful warehouse for news clippings and some pretty heated, but passionate, discussion. I don't really contribute as much as I would want to towards this community, but it's such a cornerstone of gaming info to me I can't imagine an internet ruled by videogames without it.
Congrats! I think I stumbled across NeoGAF back when I worked at Activision the second time sometime around 2005 or 2006. I think it was when the PS3 was launching.
I don't think I got approved for an account until I started working at Capcom in 2011! XD
So far, GAF is one of the only places I visit regularly for OT and Gaming info. It's been a fun ride. What a milestone, everyone! Insane.
