VGCollect Turns 3!
« on: January 20, 2014, 10:53:37 am »
Happy Birthday VGCollect! We are now officially out of the terrible twos and moving on to bigger and better things. Three years ago today, VGCollect officially opened for business with a small post over at Digital Press. This has been by far our biggest and best year as I finally feel like we are growing in all the right directions. I won't bore you with stats - I let Scott handle that monthly :) - but this year we've made great strides not only from a database/ community point of view but also from a technology point of view. The foundation is now solid and will allow us to continue this growth.

Previous birthday posts:
Year 1 - http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php?topic=540.0
Year 2 - http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php?topic=2258.0

I know I say this often but we've got an awesome thing going here and it wouldn't be the same without you guys. Thanks for hanging out and sticking with us through all the bugs and growing pains.

The birthday celebration will officially begin around 7pm EST tonight. At that time, the site will be put into maintenance mode as we shut down the old server and boot up the new. THE SITE MAY BE DOWN FOR AN HOUR OR MORE. I've been hard at work on a few secrets that will all go live tonight when the new server fires up. Expect a full update then!

Thanks,
Matt, Scott and the VGCollect team

So is that a promotion or demotion from Lord High Lord of the Fairies?

I responded to your message. :D

I was looking at this thread and it made me wonder when I joined. Its almost my 2 year join up date as well. :) This is my most visited forum (along with Nintendo/Sega Age and Sega8bit) and Im really happy this place is here.
