Well, I don't, but my GAF account does. Pretty neat!

And I know this didn't need a thread and nobody really cares, but I just wanted to tell someone, so I'm telling you guys.

Lock at will, mods. 🙂

Edit: Wait, my account says I joined Dec 9 2008, so I guess not yet lol. But I just got the "15 years of service" achievement, so I dunno!

I can confirm that your account is indeed 15 years old.

Congrats!

What was your first post?
 
I'm at 12, although I browsed for at least a couple of years before I finally was able to use a service provider email to sign up for an account.

Don't think that's still a thing though.
 
Happy birthday for tomorrow.

Your post got me interested in my own so I went down the rabbit hole.
It was on a Batman Origins Review thread in 2013 and weirdly enough I just purchased all the Arkham games again last week so I could replay them.

Thanks for the idea.

Hmm, seems like there's no easy way to see that.

Edit: Found it! Guess it took over 6 months for my account to actually be activated.

Playstation Store 07/23/09 Shatter

I know, the innovations kill the game. Anyway, boss battles and manipulation of the ball doesn't hide the fact that at it's core, this is just an Arkanoid clone. I mean it looks decent enough I suppose. I'm just not understanding the hype here.

GAF achievements akin to Xbox achievements at the minute - fucked lol.

Congrats on the sex. I mean 15 years. In the UK you could kill someone and be out of prison by now to draw an example of time spent.

The more things change, the more they stay the same... Great games though.

I remember that Shatter exists, but I can't tell you a single thing about it. Fun to see what GAF was talking about in those days.

By the way, how did you end up finding your first post quickly?

Yeah, I don't really remember Shatter at all. But I do remember Wipeout HD/Fury, great stuff.

Advanced search for posts by myself, sorted by date and limited to posts older than some date in 2009, then I just clicked through to the oldest one.

I also joined December 12th of 2008. I'll probably get the 15 years of service soon.

Edit: 5 more days.

Leap years
 
I got 13 years recently, but if I count lurking before I was able to get a non-free email, it would be about 18.

You are all officially my longest relationship
 
I've been here 5 years. Signed up just after GAF was rebooting and turning a new leaf. It's been really fun to see the site grow from a ghost town to a fairly populated and busy community. It's been a great ride. I hope for at least 5 more years.

20 years for me this year.

Would be 22 but stats were rebooted 2004. Have been on GAF half my life exactly

Quite the time capsule GAF is. My gaming setup 20 years ago, when I was waiting for RE4 and Pikmin 2 to drop:

Gaming setup thread 9/15/2004

Didn't want to post my gaming setup until I had something kinda worth showing until now: Just got the TV the other day (43" Panasonic LCD projection), I love the amount of inputs this screen has (took out my old s-video switch box and now can connect everything directly to the TV)...

This prompted me to check mine: 18 years. Wow. So much have changed in my life during that time, but GAF has been a constant. I'll never leave: I'm way too sentimentally attached even though I'm predominantly a lurker.
