I first came here around early 2008. It used to be better back then.

That's pretty cool ioi, I didn't know the site went back that far. 2005 was a long time ago. Time goes by in the blink of an eye.
Very cool. I've been lurking this site from the beginning. I remember at the time it being hard to find sales data.

Were you the one that actually created the site?
I remember that, I was a lurker, I joined early 2008 and found out that the community was way better than the gamespot one in which I was before
Good times

To the guys that were here back then. Most of us say that 2008-2009 were better because there were a lot more discussions about games and the sales discussions were less "violent" than now.
Do you think that by 2015-2016, so by mid gen when we'll likely know where each console will end, all the anger that some users bring to the forum will leave room for more interesting and constructive discussions about games or do you think that things will never be like 2008-2009?
Please excuse my bad English.

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.
OK everyone else who has been here since forever, what was so great about 2008? Gosh.

Haha that's awesome! I didn't know that. I feel like i'm talking to a rock star or a celebrity. It must be a surreal feeling seeing something you created grow into what it is now. Did you ever anticipate the site would get as big as it is now?
