I enjoy reading the threads and comments, much more varied than the car forums I also used.
As long as I have access to a computer and the internet, and as long as it is here, I will always come back to Facepunch.
Do you know how crazy it would be to still be posting here 30+ years from now? I hope it can go for that long.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;46476737]How long will facepunch last I wonder.[/QUOTE]
As long as we make it
Can you guys imagine yourselves posting here in your 70's?
i think life would get in the way
but then, ive been here since 09 on one acc or another and ive gone through a lot and have gotten busy but still find time to browse.
christ i've been here since i was 11
almost half my goddamn life on this forum
love you all
Facepunch has seriously been the best forum I've been on. You guys have helped me out through some rough patches and introduced me to some people that I considered close friends. Shit like Nationcraft and the Luftahraan project all started here on this site, and man, just like most of you guys, I hope this place doesn't die.
Been here for 5 years, and hoping for several more! Cheers, Facepunch! <3
I still think of me as a new user, but I've actually been here for basically half the forums lifetime. I hope I'll kick this habit at some point, really, I spend too much time on here that could be spent better. Still, I'm not complaining.
I hope to be here a long time.
When I joined this forum, I was only one percent as depressed as I am now. I'd give anything to go back, love you guys.
i've been lurking facepunch since early 2006, and now i have autism thanks to fp
My favourite thing about facepunch is that users are part of different groups, made up of people from the same megathreads or sections who post there a lot but there is also a group of users who are global and recognizable in any thread. Seeing new posters show up and become part of the community for better or for worse.
I've been on these forums for 5 years and I've never really made an effort to blend in with any of these groups, I never stick around in megathreads too long and I rarely make posts outside of my usual threads.
Not only did Facepunch improved my English at the slightest, but I also found some really amazing friends that I actually can consider friends. The group varieties in this forum are incredible.
You guys are amazing. I hope you stay like that.
I've visited this site almost every day for 4 years, but I'm still pretty much a new (posts aren't shitty anymore though) and unknown user. I haven't formed any friendships or 'joined' the community. It's kind of sad actually, that this site has changed me so much yet I'm so incredibly insignificant and uninvolved.
I love you all, just from the shadows.
I remember New Year's in Facepunch. The one where Garry posted a picture of the Heavy and the Soldier shooting a rocket.
That was a great New Year's.
I've been a member of Facepunch since 2006 I think I was in middle school at the time, and to give you all an idea of how long that's been I'm currently in graduate school. I've never been very active though, only posting every now-and-then when something sparks my interest although I visit the site every day and read through interesting discussions. I can say I've definitely seen a lot through my time here and have had some pretty good memories. I've never made any friends on Facepunch though, I can't even say I've had a discussion with a single person on this site for longer than a few posts, but regardless this place has always been here and I always find myself coming back to it.
I made my FP account when I was 9 years old and it sure as hell made me type properly. I remember making ridiculous threads back then, with one of them being this fanfiction bullshit set in the Half-Life universe and I wanted to publish it and make money.
I joined when I was 11.
I used to shit post, make shitty threads and got banned a few times, but that actually taught me not to be a twat on the internet. Sure I've been lurking around for years now but it doesn't mean those lessons weren't transferable elsewhere.
I stopped posting out of fear from dumb ratings and looking like a fool despite that being years ago. Maybe I'll strike up the courage to post more often.
I probably wouldn't have a career as a 3D artist n shit without FP and the first digital 3D art thread.
Btw, one of my first 3D models from summer 2007.

I check FP whenever I am bored
I have never really been part of the community mostly lurked since late 2004, but this website has been such a big part of my life and I am so thankful for it being around. Thank you for the last 10 years Facepunch

Holy shit, i feel honored. I don't even know why. 88 posts, and you've been active here since 05? That shit is cray-cray!
When I joined Facepunch I was an angsty teenager with no goals or ambitions. Now I'm an alcoholic adult with no goals or ambitions. But I'm like 80% sure that's not Facepunch's fault.

Facepunch is p cool.
I've checked facepunch multiples times for almost every day since I first came here. So many memories. I've always been too afraid to post since I'm terrible at trying to be a part of things, but I'm a proud lurker for life.
Oh god, I remember being afraid to post because I was an 07'er. Also, I remember being here to witness several gems, such as postal's ass.
I have found a way to summon the lurkers! LURKERS! WE LOVE YOU TOO, COME TO ME. Come to this thread of wonders and tell us your thrilling stories!
Gosh the lurker evokes from within. I don't post hardly ever, but I've been visiting this forum several times every single day since day one. It's been a true part of my life, a place on the internet that just feels like home. I wish I had interjected myself more into some discussions, but proud lurker hence I be.
[QUOTE=Aetna;46413418]I feel you dude. It's habit to check facepunch multiple times a day. While my interests have changed and warped over time, I've always felt home here. Whether that be video games, computers, electronics, cars, creativity, cooking, you name it - there's a place for everyone. I'm proud to be a part of such a diverse, ever growing, adapting community of young and old alike. I love you guys, you fucks, for everything you are.[/QUOTE]
From anti-social indoor nerde trogolodyte to socially successful music student to depressed, suicidal whatever to hilariously incompetent dopelord, FP has been around for me throughout the years. Things are reaching a brand new height right now which I'm happy for, but yeah. I check this forum anywhere and everywhere. I was 10 when I joined in like, 2007, and now I'm 17 :v:

I feel that the lurkers have the most stories to tell. They're like the old people in the neighborhood: See and hear everything
