I got to see it all, right from the beginning. Good shit
Holy shit, 13 years already, and I'm still browsing here daily. :v:
To be honest, this is the place where I learned grammar. I still remember the good old days where it meant everything that you used your/you're correctly, and spell correctly.
This place has also really helped me cope with being alone with no friends in my younger years. It was so nice feeling part of something, and not feel like an outcast, as most people were interested in the same things as me.
I actually can't even imagine not visiting this site, and it will be a sad day when Facepunch shuts down.
Thanks Facepunch for being my little autistic safe haven for so many years. [IMG]https://facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/IMG]

If anyone can help me find my old mapping threads with these I'll be forever grateful. Mostly under ottovonbacon, my first account that got perma'd for smartness. I think all the threads got nuked, though. I've never been able to find them and I don't have any of the files/pictures of those maps saved anywhere.

Smartness made me quadruple-check all my spelling and if I see a spelling mistake in a post I made my heart sinks and I fix it instantly. It also makes me super-pissed when I see shit like your when you mean you're and of instead of have.
Aced all my english-courses though, all the way through college thanks to that. :v:
Boy I was there from the start. I only have one regret, not joining a week earlier. I'd have been an 04er and have an even bigger e-donger. At least I got a 3 digit user ID. :class:
Shoutouts to Firerain, Zero Cool and TH89.
Kinda sad to see vBulletin go with the switch to the new forum but it's gotta happen, so I'll stick around anyway. That third party theme that one guy made to make the new forum look like the old one is pretty good, so it'll have to do.
I remember being taken aback whenever the forum changed looks, and then got used to it. This will probably be no different.
Bring back polls with comedy hurr option that gets you permabanned

Thankfully it's back on Newpunch, and I've used it a few times already
