I pretty much quit GameFAQs (except that I never bothered deleting/suciding this account). A few days ago, I turned 23. Back when I was 13 years old, I was on this site every day in 2008. It was such a different world and I was such a different person. I'm sure you probably feel that way too.

I never would have imagined life ten years later being like this (a few things worse than expected, a few things much better than expected, countless things I never thought to expect).

What's funny is that I don't remember much. Rickrolling was popular. If I recall correctly, the top Rickroll video on youtube had "gamefaqs ce" in one of its tags. Does anyone else remember that? There was also this one guy 'pauliscooler' I think... There were a couple nudity scandals with female users. One was named stupidness_blah and the other was named Emmassacre, who had a brother who was a user here. The church burning by jediknight12345 happened that year too if I recall correctly. There was also this one thread about some guy who dressed as Han Solo at his high school and got himself into some dumb drama. I might be mixing that up with other years though.

I played a lot of Halo 3, which is a game a little over ten years old now. Wow. There were a quite a few older users (whose first consoles were ones like the SNES) who liked to complain about how awful younger gamers were (whose first consoles were ones like the PS2/Xbox). It was also the first year I played a Fallout game (Fallout 3), and ten years later I almost never play video games aside from a little Fallout 4 or Hearts of Iron 4 every now and then.

My first GameFAQs account was made back when I was eleven (23 now, mods) in 2006. Kids who were born in 2006 are currently registered on this website. Wow.

Some of you have been regular users even earlier than that, although I wouldn't really know because I almost never even visit GameFAQs these days.

BTW, final question... who here doesn't know who CJayC is?

I never really thought about it but I suspect there are quite a few users on this site that have no idea who CJayC is.

Well, Allen's tenure at GameFAQs is now longer than CJayC's was. And he'll be the longest-running Admin as of 2019, I think.

Where has all the time gone...

You forgot Butters and Rain. Also the Han Solo story by Skyscraper101 was fake; he admitted so years later, as if anyone had doubts.

Wow yeah, that's true...Does anyone here remember when they did "CDayC" on this one dead board? It was a sort of online goodbye party for Ceej when he quit

I probably started coming here around or before that time. And I just turned 25 last night Jesus christ. The things I most remember a little after I joined CE (maybe not so little) were darkdestiny90 "stop flaunting your sexuality" and people talking about ayebaws cuts, though I wasn't logged in at the time to see it.

I came to CE in 07 when CEnco De Mayo happened. That was an absolute clusterfuck.

Makes me feel old. The main troll back then was Butters. He's still here under a different name but that dude ruled the trolling with an iron fist back in the day. Duckbear too although with a totally different gimmick back in those times.

Now it's peeps like Veg and "The Fam" plus a crapton of political shitposters.

I used to post on the pre-release Smash Brawl board. It was great. Also the webcomic Brawl in the Family came out from there, and i saw it begin and end.

How early did Butters start trolling in 2007? He said that he was on RI in like 2005 or 6, but I know he was posting on here at least by late 2007 and had become hated even prior to his account bet on Feb 2, 2008 and his subsequent uptick in trolling.

Also, Duckbear got his last LUE account banned in March of 2008 and I don't recall him posting much in 2008. It was like Butters sort of took over that niche.

I haven't heard the phrase "CEnco de Mayo" in so long. I haven't heard of Dakero in a long time either. I don't even remember what he's famous for though.

I wonder if it was common in previous generations to feel 'old' on their birthdays in their early 20s.
