The Off-Topic Forum is 3 Years Old...

3 years of horrible, horrible things.

Here, here! Three cheers for the things that shoudn't be!
 
I've been here a couple of months over a year. It has been great.
Hey oldtimers!
 
Wow three years is a long time.
I can't imagine being on a forum for this long ever again. It's a good community.

Happy birthday for tomorrow!
 
I was 13 when I joined. D:

I spelt unintentional as "Unintencial".
 
I thought it was more than 3 years ..has it only been 3 years? ..this is my 2nd year anniversary ..seems longer
 
I was 14 in December 2003, when I first stumbled upon this site after reading an article about Half-Life 2 in Surge magazine; the main page was nonexistent, just a white background with default HTML text saying "Main site coming soon, for now go to the forums" and a link to these forums.

29 months and 8,300 posts later, I'm still here, and as strongly in love with the website and imbued sense of community as ever.
 
You've only been here two years??? Whats the deal with your postcount then?

EDIT: Stern, i mean
 
He ate several other members and consumed their postcounts.

heh the iraq war, US election, abortion rights, same sex marriage, intelligent design in schools, jack thompson, video game censorship, right wing crazies invading our politics forum, video games in general etc might have something to do with the majority of those posts :)

no you dont, it's long stretches of idleness interrupted by longer stretches of boredom
 
I was in the first year of Uni when I joined here :O

In the beginning I didn't post much. I remember the site was down for a couple of months, then Munro e-mailed all the members to inform them the site was back online.

I started reading the forums when I was 13 also. However I don't think I signed up until a while later. :(

Hey everyone, I found this after searching for Half-Life 2 Forums on google because I was annoyed with Gamespy.

Expect a million posts.

Still working on that million.
