Title: MGSForums 2nd Anniversary!


Solidus - December 16, 2005 09:05 AM (GMT)
MGSForums.com 2nd Year!

Before I start, here’s the 1st Anniversary topic if anyone wants to have a read through.
http://mgsforums.com/index.php?showtopic=2657


Well, its kind of hard to believe how fast time has progressed. Two years already! I guess quite a lot has happened this year, good things, bad things etc etc. But where do I start? I guess I could give you all some facts again, because we all love facts right? :P

Since last year, there has been approximately 800 new members, I guess, in theory that’s pretty good for a forum that doesn’t spend on advertising.

Topics! Joy, these lovely things people make to start a conversation. Some live on to tell the tale, and sadly, some die. But we live on, to fight another day of foruming and replying to topics. This war is our…… I’ll shut up now, sorry. Total topics for this year are closing in on 5000. Once again, that’s pretty damn good, shows people have lost interest in us. :P

Total posts are as follows…loading…..loading…..damn you people post!….loading….right, here we go. This year, an approximate total of 105,000 posts have been made. So, 5000 topics, 105,000 posts, that’s like 21 posts per each topic or something right?

Break --------------------------------------

Am I boring you? Please let me know if I am? But then again, how can you, this is something ive already wrote. Oh well, moving on.

Personal Messages. How many love messages have you all been sending each other then? I mean, come on, when theres no way to get on MSN etc, PM’ing is always a good way to get to someone. Trsut me, I know. :P

Anyway, total for this year? Getting on to 7000. Not bad, not bad. Keep the PM’s flowing!

So, how many of you have viewed a topic and just left it! Eh? Come on, own up! Ah don’t worry, topic views this year, you could say are quite high, which they are. So well done, just a shame that the views aint posts. :P

The number stands at : 653264

But that’s already out of date seeing as ive just checked and its already gone up in seconds. Oh well, cant help that, and im not going to stop it either!

Also, this year we have had a change of skins, there was mixed feelings about each, but I think people got used to it. Now, Cobb has created which I think, a great new skins for us. So thanks for that one Cobb.

Refluxe! He’s still in the lead as the forums #1 top poster! With Otacon right behind him (not literally) and me, in third. I cant be top of everything I guess. :P

I remember last year when me and Lee drank to the forum over Webcam, that was some great stuff! Who knows what will happen on this one. Doesn’t matter, aslong as you stick around!

The main mebers I would like to thanks this year would be Cobb, Refluxe, the rest of the staff, and mainly anyone who has or helps out with the forum in some way to make this a better place for everyone. We have had our ups and downs with spammers and flamers etc, but everntually we all got through it and carried on with forum life.

I personally cant really believe that this is something I started, and I also want to thank every single one of you (Not really including banned members) for coming back and keeping this place alive, because we all know, without members, a forum is useless.

Yes, all this was written by me, so this is from me, Solidus.

Now, this next part is for the staff, if they want to mention anything.

I only have a little something from Cobb. No other staff bothered to enter anything. :P

Ok:

Well, as MGSForums enters its third year, I feel extremely optimistic about our future. If our members stay awesome, and our staff keeps up the good work, who knows what will happen? There’s not much else to say, other than “Happy Anniversary!”


I guess that is all for now. Enjoy the contest and have a happy third year. :D



Solidus.

I've drank to the forums this year too! Well, I must admit, I didn't realise it was MGSForum's second anniversaré when I started (and finished) drinking, but I've had a £10 bottle of malibu and 6 fosters, and I'm pretty sh*tfaced right now, so as far as I'm concerned, here's to MGSForums! ^_^


Happy 2nd year MGSF. I'll always love thee.

Tell me about it 2 years already... remember the very first day i got here.

Ghost Sniper - December 17, 2005 10:14 PM (GMT)
I also remember the very first day I got here. The very first person who replied to me was L-4. What happened to him anyway? Seems like he appears then dissapears in this board.

By the way, happy 2nd anniversary!

screenshark15 - December 17, 2005 11:30 PM (GMT)
2 years huh? Time really does fly. This community has gone through many tough times, but for every step we take backwards, we take 2 forwards. No matter what unexpected sh*t gets thrown our way, we tackle the problem as a community.

Next year will see the birth of new generation of consoles, a new Metal Gear Solid game, and yet another year of growth for our forums.

Thanks to all the members who have made these 2 years worthwhile!

Liquidon Snake - December 18, 2005 07:16 AM (GMT)
It's cool to remember the humble beginnings of these forums. I remember that I was stuck on GTAF, and I finally made my way to the Movies & TV forum there. I started a topic about, of all things, a Metal Gear Solid movie I wanted to think up. After about 2-3 days, somebody there (I believe he was named "Gabe Logan.") posted in my topic, and I saw in his sig a link to this place. I was a hardcore MGS fan even then, so I was naturally interested. I registered here, and became the ninth member of MGSF. What did I do first? Why, I posted a topic about an MGS movie, of course!
So here I am, two years later. I have changed, my life has changed, and it has changed for the better. I owe a lot of that to all you guys. These two years have been great, and I hope all future years will get better and better.

My Contributions to MGSF:
