I dreaded this day. 馃ぃ
I joined this site on 7th October 2008 as a naive 17 year old.
Here I am today, a 27 year old regretting that this website was my first exposure to online communities (actually 2nd but the 1st I stuck with).
I've seen the site develop and grow. I've played each version of each game (except playing them before T$ was the currency and you paid to enrol with karma).
From an outside view, seeing how large and diverse this community is is incredible. Seeing all the steps taken for the site to be what it is today is cool.
But from an inside perspective, this site is a mess. A guilty pleasure mess.
And guilty because there's literally been illegal activity, yet here we are, having a good time! Or a bad time if you have drama today.
I promised myself I was going to make a vlog but that's been difficult. So will try later today. It just helps that one phone camera is broken and my old phone crashes.
If not a video, I'll just take a selfie since the front camera works but I suck at selfies so...yolo I guess?
I was writing tributes but they were getting long, so might do it on another blog.
I guess this blog can be a Q&A - ask me anything.
I'll either vlog, comment reply or PM you a response to any question. I'll be honest. 馃榿
I never knew that one used to pay with karma to get into games. I bet old timers were kicking themselves when people started getting obsessed over KPG.
Question:
-What have you learned from your 10 years here?
P.s, this paragraph made me actually LOL:
"But from an inside perspective, this site is a mess. A guilty pleasure mess.
And guilty because there's literally been illegal activity, yet here we are, having a good time! Or a bad time if you have drama today".
The exclamation mark after good time just made me read that guilty part in such a joyous way.
Happy 10th Anniversary Hanna <3 I hope you will be here after 10 years as well! You are such a nice person and I love your humor. I think we understand each other so well, at least I hope so :D I am still waiting for that story you were going to write about 2 years ago about animals and hunters xoxo
I don't know if congrats is the right word to use, but I'm glad you're still here providing me personally with top quality blogs and wise advice! My question is through all the many years you've been here, who has been the biggest bad boy (or girl), this site has ever had to bear? =D
