I can't even fathom that something in my life was 20 years ago, but that's what it's been.This is honestly the longest I've ever been part of a community (outside of family), or followed a project/series, and while these contests might not be the most serious thing in the world, I'm sure they've had a serious effect on my world. What I think about games, statistics, or even just myself have been shaped by my time here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Here's to 20 years of blowouts and nailbiters, rallies and stuffers, kiddies and carriers, lettuce and eggplant! Let's hope for 20 more!

And it all started with this...

That's... astonishing. How much of my life has been spent here? I know I wasn't here in 2002 but still... wow.

We need contests more frequently again. It always revitalizes this sleepy site for the better.

I still remember calling up my buddy to tell him about the bracket back in 2002. We both printed it out (because we couldn't be on the phone and the internet at the same time with Dial-up) and one of the first things he said was, "How did Servbot get so many votes?"

In 2002 things were just getting started. Peak was probably between 2004-2006

The very first board I actively used here was Sonic Heroes when it first came out. It has been ages

Match pics have come a long way

I didn't come to board 8 or notice the contests until 2005, but I was on the Melee boards in 2002

I hadn't yet played a Mega Man game at the time, so yes. I thought Ms. Pac-Man was the favorite.

I had him losing to Serious Sam in my bracket. :(

And it was a pretty good bracket, despite that.

I actually voted for Ms. Pac-man. Was really surprised it ended up that lopsided.
