SG 20th Anniversary Day

Well well well, it seems it's been a cool 20 years of Square Gamer. The early years were a pretty crazy ride for me personally, and I'm sure for a lot of you all as well. We've made some life long friends, members have gotten engaged, married, had little SG babies, and I think we've got some good divorces on the books as well. I know many of you in real life. Some of our friends have passed to the next life but live on in some great stories and memories. The fact that some of us are still here long after our original reasons for being here have long faded is a testament to how strong a community we built.

July 20th lets have the biggest SG Day ever, where we post like the old days, refreshing every couple of minutes to keep up with the discussion. Let any members you know that haven't been around lately to stop by for a spammin good time. ruroken

Here's to 20 years of SG!

Hope to at least beat last year's SG Day!
Can't believe that I haven't seen you since half the time I've known you now...
I guess stuff like social media and seeing people's photos and posts quite regularly makes it easy to forget just how long you go without actually meeting up with some friends.

Should we do a mass email thing or whatever?

Modbot should take care of that. Think it’s best now, or closer to the date?

Not sure. Too long before and people will just forget. Too short and people might not notice on time or just decide that it was too short notice to take the tine out.

Hopefully I won’t be quoting that with Sad Tea

in another 10 years.

It's been a while since I stepped back home. Years in fact.

What happened to everyone?

I didn't leave. Lots of things happened while trying to get my life back.

Congrats!

I've been here for 13 of those 20 doing sweet f*** all judging by my post count haha. Tongue

Impaler is who again? Just Impaler or did you have another username? I definitely recognize the avatar but that doesn't mean much.

I think Kat used that avatar back in 2G5 as well.

Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2019 11:02 pm Post subject:

I’m pretty sure she did indeed.

Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2019 11:18 pm Post subject:

Is Impaler Kat?

I don’t think so?

Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2019 5:54 am Post subject:

I didn't get an e-mail. But my e-mail I registered with is probably an @squaregamer.com one lol.

Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2019 7:03 am Post subject:

Those still work. My Damien@SG one does, at least!
Modbot's email's usually end up hidden in spam though.

Impaler isn't Kat

I wonder if this SG Day will be the quietest ever? All current indications are to that effect.

Posted: Wed Jul 10, 2019 10:12 pm Post subject:

It might be. Everyone's probably dead of old age by now.

Who is he/she then?

Oh. That's right. We grew up on the SG farms together. How could I forget?

One week until SG Day! Chocobo

SG is now 20 years old btw.

Basically the oldest site on the Internet at this point.

Probably close to that anyway.

Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:45 pm Post subject:

Should we bring the Anime forum back for Impaler?

Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:20 pm Post subject:

What’s the harm in it existing?

Makes the forum look shitter to passers-by as we have an entire forum that hasn't had a post in years with recent threads from over a decade ago.

Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:35 pm Post subject:

I’m surprised we’re that concerned about how the site comes across to passers-by.

But ok, it’s a fair reason.

During a previous SG, people pointed out a few forums and asked why they still exist. That's when I realised we should probably slim it down.
I think Doom wanted us to remove TBB and General as well

Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:41 pm Post subject:

Doom wanted to rain doom upon this community!

Doom was considering sticking around and becoming a regular a couple of years back, but then I think I broke him by asking him what he thought of Final Fantasy XV

Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 5:52 pm Post subject:

TBB is our main forum now and it should be even bigger, because you moved one of our biggest threads (a TBB exclusive) to general.

Got daytime/evening plans on Saturday now, but should still be okay for SG Day, as there were barely any posts until the night last year.

Wonder what happened to this guy?

Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2020 5:28 pm Post subject:

It sounds rough.

Seemed like a bit of an mrobo character.
