SG 20th Anniversary Day - July 20th

Post by **Grey Fox** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:45 pm

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.

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?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jul 05, 2019 5:45 am

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

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jul 05, 2019 3:37 pm

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.

Yeah, we almost got to meet this year, too. We’ll definitely fly out to the UK sometime once the kid can handle travel.

Hopefully I won’t be quoting that with

in another 10 years.

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

What happened to everyone?

Could do one now and a second one close to the date. I don’t think that’s too spammy.

Same thing. I'm older too.

But I thought everyone would still be around.

Now, it's like coming home to a run down sektorseven.

Everybody? Like everybody everybody? You thought you'd be the only forum member to have left?

Impaler · Post by **Impaler** » Sat Jul 06, 2019 2:21 pm

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.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jul 06, 2019 3:05 pm

Over one post a year at least!

Modbot3g5 · Post by **Modbot3g5** » Sat Jul 06, 2019 3:05 pm

MESSAGE SENT.

THAT IS ALL.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Jul 06, 2019 3:46 pm

I didn’t get it

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Jul 06, 2019 5:49 pm

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

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Jul 07, 2019 7:55 pm

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

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Jul 07, 2019 10:02 pm

I’m pretty sure she did indeed.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Jul 07, 2019 10:18 pm

Is Impaler Kat?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Jul 07, 2019 11:08 pm

I don’t think so?

Post by **Grey Fox** » Mon Jul 08, 2019 4:54 am

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

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Jul 08, 2019 6:03 am

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 don’t know who Impaler is either lol.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 12:58 am

Probably chaos.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 4:27 pm

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

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:12 pm

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

Welcome back Impaler! We all used Guardian Forces too much over the last 20 years. Please forgive us...

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jul 11, 2019 8:44 pm

Who is he/she then?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 12:24 pm

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

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 7:01 am

One week until SG Day!

SG is now 20 years old btw.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:52 pm

Basically the oldest site on the Internet at this point.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 9:59 pm

Probably close to that anyway.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 12:45 pm

Should we bring the Anime forum back for Impaler?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:20 pm

What’s the harm in it existing?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:33 pm

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.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:35 pm

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

But ok, it’s a fair reason.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:39 pm

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

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:41 pm

Doom wanted to rain doom upon this community!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:43 pm

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

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:52 pm

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.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 8:41 pm

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.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:01 pm

Wonder what happened to this guy?

It sounds rough.

Seemed like a bit of an mrobo character.
