When I first started I wasn't really involved and I never really talked to people up until a few months ago.

There's some new users who JUST started not that long ago but spread like wildfire. Heck, some of them I would have never thought were newcomers.

Yes, sadly. I never realised you were from '09

Clearly 10>09 at least then

2007 is where it's at. We had gballzack and kwaad as well as John Lucas.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It started in 2006.

Just look at my join date. April of 2007. I started lurking in late Feb/early March back whenever weekly sales didn't exist.

Those were dark days man...

Still, back then the whole "which console sold the most is best" argument couldn't be around could it? So it's not all that bad I suppose!

Sorry, looks like 2010 is the best year so far...

However, bizzarely, all other options have exactly the same number of votes.

Wow, I feel old thinking 2007 was best. I joined in 8th grade and now I'm halfway done with Junior Year.

Anyway, this is probably the best batch in awhile, but I still miss older days greatly....

WHO IS JESUS REALLY?
