Title: Thank you - 6 Years Since Joining
Post by: campercarl on April 03, 2019, 09:39:21 am
Hi, I don't normally ever post here, but I use this site to catalogue my games and I just wanted to say thank you for staying up all these years.
I added the first item to my profile on 7/04/2013 and that day is fast approaching. It'll mark the 6th year I've been here! That game is Alfred Chicken - PS1 [EU] for anyone curious.
I've edited apparently more than 500+ items according to the badge I have. There's a good chance if you edit any PAL game made in 1995+ my name is in the history tab. 99% chance if it's an Australian region game.
I just wanted to thank whoever is hosting this site and the community, especially the guys who have been making edits alongside me all these years.

How does one check that?

It is an admin ability. Useful usually to find items that new users make when they just come in to mass-add duplicates.

In spite of my badge, I've only been a member here since early 2017, "February 27, 2017" is when I joined a little over 2 years as of this post. I love this community the best for both forum and the extensive well kept database.

I think I added a few games to the database but I am not sure if any were ever duplicates, but I love to blog, I would have joined sooner. But when I ran a google search back in I think 2016 or 2015 all that came up was Retro Collect. I no longer go to that forum. When one day I could not log in for some reason, all I got was a message that said I have no permission to to access forum or site. Nobody warned me and, I think I was banned. I think. and I have a feeling that. One of the ignorant senor members on Retro Collect had something to do with that.

I got into a fight over an avatar that this guy didn't like.

when I ran another google search in 2017 for a video game collecting this forum. This was the first result. I am glad I left the retro collect forum. As far as I am concerned losing access to Retro Collect was a blessing from God and the rest of the VGCollect staff are wonderful here. :)
