Happy Anniversary TNL!

I am probably not going to have the chance to make this thread on the 8th, so I am starting the countdown a wee bit early - especially with the meetup in NY this weekend!!!

Thanks to everyone who's been with us since the very beginning, the folks from GameGo especially who helped give this place a lot of spark, and even those who've only got a few months under their belt. Most importantly - big thanks to Nick who has kept the place going strong.

Happy Anniversary.
(Here's to hopefully another 10 years!!!)

Ditto. This place kicks ass. Happy to the Anniv, TNL! ;)

Happy early Anniversary to TNL!

Happy 9.99999 years old, TNL. Here's hoping the next 10.00001 years are just as fun and cantankerous! :D

Wow, ten years already? That's like 500 years for a website. Great to see it's still around, and I look forward to an exciting future and many more years!

10 years bitches Holla!!!

P.S. Someone needs to make a new TNL header image to celebrate this much awesomeness.

Sticked for now.

.

Holy fuck I feel old.

you almost have pubes now tnl

Wow, nice. I wish I was here in its early days but better late than never.

Ten already? Now I know why Mzo has lost interest.

Happy anniversary, everyone.

It feels like only yesterday that I was watching ECM piss off a Square fanboard, Chuxbuster lol had a cereal box avatar, Lhaddatttt spammed his ass off, and andyrose started NeoMega the first time. Good times.

Funny that I've been posting here longer than I've known some of my friends.

Long live TNL!
...and Nick, especially after that comment.

Damn, its been THAT Long. OMG.

Happy TNL Day-O.

Oh, good old days of Being the Post King :p

Oh shit, double digits. Congrats guys! :)

Congrats, early bitches.

The Big One Oh!
Congrats to all who help run and moderate this fantastic destination of internet depravity. :)

Mmm 10 years old!!!!!!!! Just how I like my women!

Happy Anniversary.

10 years and still going strong.

Horray TNL. Best place ever.

Wow. Happy Anniversary TNL.

I know I don't pay attention to you like I used to, but I still love you.

One big thank you to Nick for keeping this place going, and a slighly smaller one to Bahn for leaving and taking most of the dross with him.
(I kid, I kid)
Big love to all involved!

This thread needs more goatse.

I was kind of expecting it just now. I clicked "last post Josh" and insinctively moved towards the "back" button.

I haven't been here the whole decade, but it's been a good stay. Rock on.

It seems like just yesterday i came from Neomega! Man it has been a fun ass time even though I probably have the lowest post count per time spent on the boards :p congrats to everyone running the site.

EDIT: wow when did i pass 2,500 posts.

Awesome.

TNL has been around almost as long as me; impressive. Most impressive.

Yeah it has. Respect goes out to Bahn, Reno & Kenshin for their contributions into the creation of what TNL is today.

Speaking of Josh which TNL always does, there's another memory... Otakon many years back in an awkward "standing around the lunch statue" meet-up, Josh (88MPHOMG) supposedly walks by, looks at us, brings his headphones over his ears, and walks off.

Good times.

....sooooo guys. Tomorrow is Day 2 of the BIG TNL Get-together. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Union Square (yes Mezz, that especially includes you).

7pm event should be lots of fun. All in attendance can toast to the 10 years of TNL and I have something special planned.

(No, it's not me stealing a TV.)

Is it something special as in "video game-related" or something more sentimental?

LOL. (Good guess)

TNL is almost as old as Starcraft (missed by a few months).

10 years. That's just crazy. Here's to 10 more.

I look forward to all of us debating the merits of geritol and calling people noobs in 2020.

Keep on truckin'.

When will I get to drive?

HB, you ol' bastard.

hbtnl

Wow. Ten years. Incredible. Congrats to TNL!

I don't think I've ever been more into games than during the GameGO!/Neomega days. This was the first place I found where people were as crazy about games and enjoyed talking about them as much as me. Good stuff. It's a shame we lost a few people posting over the years. I wish DacaZ and Andyrose still posted here.

Still waiting for some bastard with art skills to make a 10th Anniversary forum header.

you mean like this?

bmp? JPEG or GIF that shit noob.

I don't work in photoshop, so sorry.
Yes, I could change the file type in MSPaint, but that's one more mouse click than I'm willing to give to TNL.

6 year anniversary of being awesome. HB TNL.

Decade of decadence, imo
:icepick::link::icepick::link::icepick::link::icepick:
Happy Birthday all the same.


You've given me so much I'll never forget.

HB

yay. much love TNL

Happy birthday TNL. I love you and want to lay eggs inside of you.

Ridiculous.

Do I have to rep Nick to rep TNL?

Happy birthday, get a job, you're out of this house when you turn 18!

Ten years old! My favorite age!

Anyhow, I can't believe TNL has been around for 10 years, especially when thinking that I was around on here before GameGO kind of took the place over. Crazy.

Happy B Day TNL!

Why am I still here?

Dear birthday boy,


I can't count how many times my keyboard got sticky. It's flying all over like on my screen and desktop, but the keyboard is a real bitch to clean. I use a kleenex with a knife to try to make the cum stick to it. I don't masturbate often, but when I have to do it between the keys and am very horny, I have to do it. I miss my fuck friend so fucking much... :(

Jesus, 10 years.

I've known a lot of you fuckers for way too long.

Happy anniversary TNL, here's to many more years of existence.

And less of your reviews...


oh shit I went there...

PERSONAL ATTACK IMO

come to austin meetup plz

This is 100% true. I remember doing it.

The worst part is I've only been here for about half of that and even I feel old.

If pictures exist, I think the courts will find you were in the right. :lol:

These meet-ups were awkward and felt somewhat forced. He was in the right.

We've all grown up some since then, so I doubt it'd be that bad if we tried again. Still, that "growing up" usually means most of us won't be at Otakon to attempt it.

This makes me feel way older than I should. I didn't post on TNL much before the GG exodus but I did a fair amount of lurking. It wasn't around long before I showed up for the first time and I can't remember how I stumbled upon this place to begin with.

Happy b-day TNL.

Wow. It's been a while since I was a writer here, but its been even longer since I got here. I hope this place keeps chuggin into the next millennium.

Hey, I did one of those once. Except my friends and I went out for a smoke with Zerodash and his girlfriend and when I came back everyone was gone. I kinda forgot about it til I saw the NYC pictures and recognized you guys. :(

I love you guys.

I'd do it again if I ever went back to Otakon.

i was at otakon one year and stood next to josh and korly as korly was playing tekken 3 in the gaming room.

josh looked very bored and wanted to gtfo. and i think thats what happened 5 minutes later.

also these join dates are not exact as there was a tnl server crash and nothing was recovered.

Hopefully it won't require a keyboard. We'll all have Carpal Tunnel Syndrom and severe arthritis by then.

Happy Birthday TNL. Good luck with the new ideas :D

(still regularly lurks around)

haha. you're right. Otakon is gutter trash, I even hated it when I liked Anime.

Anime Expo <3.

I was at Anime East.

I thought you were hiding in a cake?

LOL.

SURPRISE!

Can't believe how long most of us have been around here. I can't believe I've been a part of this place for almost half my life.

*makes a toast in TNL's honor*

Happy Anniversary, TNL! You're still #1 in my book.
