Well Ant, we both reached this milestone today!!!!
I feel old, I didn't really expect to still be using this place 3 years on. I expected GADs to be removed as a clever marketing ploy, the site to be over whelmed by spam, and then eventually the forums get shut leaving only the webpage. But They some how managed to drag it through! I have a measily tally of GADs but have mainly just used this place for having a laugh.
My highlights have probably been, my GADs, The jokes, my banning (wasn't to funny then), and just generally having a laugh. Thanks to all the people who have been here from the start or near it. Personally i think we need to get SR to pester back some of the people who have left. There are quite a lot really (fogmaster and soupdragon were probably two of the best from the start).
The forums have had a bit of an over haul really, Some will remember them as the old pages where all the topics just sprawled down the page, for everything and there were about 10 posts a day (but they were nearly all worth reading). My first GAD win has disappeared, tragically. It was THREE lines long!!!! A rant at Playstation owners for dissing perfect dark! but the games forums died and that has disappeared! Wouldn't mind seeing it while i'm feeling nostalgic if its hiding on some old sr archive.
I left for a while when the forums changed cos of exams and i didn't actually like the new look, but then i came back 3 months later and there were all these funny ratings and we had a posse of notables and i found i had a funny purple name! Anyway as far as i am concerned the forums are still a good place to be even with some of the spam we've been getting. Anyway, before this starts to sound like my autobiography i think i'll stop!
Congrats to Ant as well! Been a top poster as long as i've been here, remeber his first GAD took him ages to win then they really started to flow! Any way i am sure he'll probably go on nostalgically too but well done mate!
(for anyone observant enough to have spotted that my account says 800 days not 1000, my account broke and SR made me a new one with my old post count, so i have aged gracefully and lost a fifth of my life!lol, but i signed up the same day as Ant, and there are posts in the archives to prove it!) I feel old!

yep, i have seen him but he isn't as prominent as before. He really should have been in the first bunch of notables.

Mwa ha ha, excellent. :D Thanks Ashley and congrats to you too, I remember having some Sony vs Nintendo arguments in the past along with people like Fogmaster, Arty etc, and it's been a pleasure to know you all.
I might actually write a little biography like yourself later, but I need to get ready for New Year's Eve Party tonight...which I'm not really looking forward to, actually. :D
Cheers for putting my name in the title too, that doesn't happen too often. :D

I have an Ashley tagline to celebrate
Fog's still around.
I have only done one blatant gad attempt in recent months, but i did loads at the beginning, lost with my good posts and then won for a really random post!
Wow, in 6 days i will have been here for 2 years. I can still remember my first review. It was for Zelda majoras mask and consisted of about 20 sentences. I thought i would win as well.
:D
:D
