Chicano3000 119 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I know a took a hiatus for a while. I migrated to Reddit. Funny thing is that it was the "lmao fuckin hipsters" thread that made me discover Reddit. I was surprised this place is still here. What keeps you coming back? I think for me it was the familiar aspect of SW. We know each other(to an extent). Reddit is just random folks... Edited May 16, 2020 by Chicano3000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeW1000 118 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yeah... I think I was in middle school during GS SW but i'm not sure. I enjoyed growing up with you guys. I was going to join the air force with kamikaze pie but he died... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 442 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I've been here since 2005 or 2006. Can't remember exactly but that would put my age around 22 or 23 when I joined so I was long done with High School. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casual 732 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yeah for sure. I started posting on gamespot when I was like 12, crazy to think about. Familiarity for me too. Also there’s just not many places like this left on the internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that depends on what your definition of trolling is because I do intentionally try to get a rise out of people every now and then. To me, that's trolling. Its just not the obvious kind of trolling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The internet forum format is old now, but this is probably the cleanest looking forum I've ever been to. The fact that I paste an image address into the message bar and automatically get an embedded pic is awesome. Reddit is too simple. I get minimalism, but I miss this type of design...

HolyAx 297 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Reddit is faceless corporate garbage btw And I also joined this place in my High-school years, part of the GS exodus. I liked the freedom here that nowhere else existed, and I think its still more open to any opinion in this day than any social media site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The beginning of this place started in early 04 after GS SW banned off topic threads on sw and Javier decided to just make a new forum for gs sw people where rules weren’t changing all the time. Some came, some didn’t. Your gs sub forum had nothing to do with this place - you came a long when most people did around 05. Your join date says nov 04 but anyone here around that time knows you never posted here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
