The GDNet Birthday thread

Drew Sikora · 2011-07-15T11:57:57

12 years ago, on June 15[sup]th[/sup] 1999 GameDev.net was launched. To get a more detailed look at the early history of the site and what came before check out the About Us page towards the bottom under the section "How did you create the site?" We're almost a teenager! ;) From myself and the rest of the GDNet Staff - thank you all for being such an awesome community and helping to keep us alive all these years - and hopefully for many more!! Leave us a message below and let us know how GDNet has helped/influenced you these past 12 years and what you hope the site will be able to offer you in the years to come, or just a birthday message to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside Either way we love you all and are excited for the coming years!

12 years already? Holy carp I feel old.. we still have so much to do yet. =)

In other news, our site, being in that awkward tween years, is going to be transitioning in focus to commemorate Justin Bieber and super cool fun clothing styles. Yay!

So, so proud.

In related news, being behind the scenes, I get to see things before they're visible to the community, and, well... puberty has started. This may get bumpy.
