Happy 1st Decade Facepunch, may long ye reign supreme. - General

thank you facepunch :) never die

FP has been my go-to for the past 7~ years (diff accounts and lurking). I remember gmod comics like Concerned still releasing episodes, and over the past 5 years I've become much more worldly, thanks and no thanks to SH. Its been a weird decade for this place, but thanks for being there, id be a huge moron without you

I remember when being rated DUMB really stuck to your profile, branding you DUMB forever as time went on. Now, its just a box.

I probably spend anywhere between 1-3 hours on this site every day. It's always open on my browser.

Facepunch helped me a great deal of refining my english, my vocabulary expanded tenfold or something.

It's been good. I'm glad I showed up here, because this is one of the few communities online that I've been relatively consistent with visiting. I'm not an old member by any means, but this place has still seen some embarrassing phases of mine. Keep it up, guys.

9 years on Facepunch... fuck me that's long

Facepunch made me hate memes, thanks!

remember I joined in 2009 and got my ass banned because a dipshit friend posted a thread with just the smug emote as content (I forgot to delete my cookies on the classroom pc after surfing on it) and everyone thought it was a banme mods thought I pulled the ol' "it was my brother/friend/other" excuse

I had an account from 06 but it got banned for smartness because I was an idiot. Really wish I could see my old mapping threads again.

The smartness system enforced me to think out my posts for a few years. Really helped 13 year old me in '06 learn not to be a little shit on the internet.

Been lurking pretty much since I registered (Other than some dumb posts at the beginning). Don't know what I would have done all these years without this site.

Like I started lurking on this forum in 08, been lurking on and off, then I realized that I wanted to at least be able to rate posts, then I started posting stupid shit, now I just try not to sound like a complete ass all of the time but there are times where I just lose my inhibition and just shit out a boxfort post. I hope one day that I will stop being absolutely shit and actually improve. So yeah, 7 years on and off, always this site that gave me the greatest laughs. Also my first encounter with porn was with one of the earliest hot girls thread, heh. Got to this site a kid, now lurking as a manchild :v:

I owe a lot to this place, i used to shitpost a lot and have a god awful grammar/english when i made an account, but thanks to Postal and Crapdog constantly banning my ass it has improved a bit since then, love you guys. Also FP made me unable to read Reddit and 4chan, their layouts are fucking atrocious.

I love Facepunch, has been a part of my life since late 2004. The only go to place since I have nobody in my life.

I hardly ever go to other websites anymore, fp has all the content I need to waste my time.

Holy fuck it's really been 10 years, I've been coming here for 8 years now. That's crazy

The Creative Work thread really helped me in getting me to love art and fuelling my motivation to get better at drawing so huge thanks to the guys in those threads. Wouldn't be where I'm at without them

I'm not sure what kind of person i'd be without facepunch. The people on here really helped give me the courage to take important leaps of faith and figure out myself over these last couple of years, and helped prevent me from making some terrible decisions. So thanks, facepunch. You saved my life. I owe you one.

I've been here like 2 years and I already feel really old. 2 years of fun. Thank you.

Let me tell the tale of a boy, a boy with a shiny new thing, called "Half Life 2." One day, this boy came across a mod for his Shiny new Half Life 2, a mod called JBMod, JBMod was a wonderful promise of allowing that boy to dredge the depths of his creativity and create contraptions from the very depths of his mind. Alas, with a finnicky and extremely annoying, it was not meant to be and so the boy went of in search of a mod worthy of his imagination. That was when, quite accidentally, the boy stumbled into the dark, dark forest of the Steam Forums, upon which he happened upon a rare and mystical beast called Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod promised to fulfill all the wishes that JBMod had failed to manifest, though alas, the native inhabitants of the steam forums were, it seemed, staunch JBMod warriors, decrying the inferiority of Garry's Mod and shouting the praises of the mythical JBMod, a mod, which, according to these warriors, would be the victor in the eternal struggle between the two, which upon it's victory, would be headed towards untold riches and fame. Undaunted, our brave young boy fought on, and installed Garry's Mod. The years passed and finally, Garry's Mod reigned supreme above JBMod and our young boy settled down in a land known as the Brown Forums. So, I hope you enjoyed my storyteller version of how, over 10 years ago I came across GMod, the short version of which was that I got pissed off with how JBMod handled welding items together (extremely clumbsily I might add) and sought out an alternative, which caused me to get GMod, sign up to the brown forums and the rest, as they say, is history. The Brow Forums got replaced by Facepunch.com and everyone was switched over (or re-registered themselves, I honestly can't remember which)

I had kind of lost myself during the last years of my marriage because as our relationship broke down both my ex and myself suffered depression. After I accidentally found Facepunch through a Myspace friend, I began to feel a lot better. Facepunch teaches me stuff, it shocks me, it makes me laugh, it allows me to express my inner self. May it live forever!

My biggest regret is losing all the comics I made back in pre-09. Still, was fun whilst it lasted.

I've said it on another thread but FP really changed the way I see the world and gathered information. Reading all those awesome [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/111996868/reactions/nuclear%20energy.JPG"]slamdowns[/URL] in SH developed my critical thinking skills and broke down many of the misinformed prejudices I had. I was already watching anime when I joined, but FA fixed me up and showed me some decent stuff that was way better than any Naruto rubbish. [URL="http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=346849"]w00tf1zh[/URL] has been a member for two years more than me, but he just started posting in Fast Anime. He says some dumb shit, but I have to chuckle and not feel so annoyed when I realise that I was saying the exact same things only twenty months ago. This place changes a man.

I'm a lurker. I don't know what it is about it but I like reading other people's opinions and understanding other perspectives and I'm not the only one I think. 10 more years pls.

Lurker here, just want to say that this forum is pretty much the only place I go for video game news and general entertainment. This place has been part of my daily routine since 2007. Pretty wild stuff there. FP, stick around and entertain me for another 10 years, that would be lovely. And you cool people, keep being chill dudes.

It's weird talking to my friends about Facepunch. We all joined in 08 but none of them come here anymore. Whenever I mention this place, they go "Man, you still go on that site?" And I say, "Hell yeah I do"

Damn, this thread made me realize that I've been around for almost half of FP's lifespan now. It doesn't seem all that long ago that I joined.

Goddamn. I've been here 10 years in July. Looking at some people on FP, my account is older than some of the users!

I still don't know why I haven't set Facepunch.com as my homepage, to be honest. I spend a lot of time here. It's got lots of content and decent moderation, which leads to it not being a cesspool of shit
