Giantbomb you're the bestest video game website ever! I want to marry you and teach you to ride a horse
Happy Birthday Giant Bomb
Happy B-day, 'Bomb although I didn't become a member until the December of 2008. I was listening to the Bombcast pretty much from the beginning.

There was a party for the 1st year Anniversary. Why'd they stop?
That party hasn't ended yet

Man, I remember when Giant Bomb was still in the womb as a blog. And this is probably the last time you'll see one of my polls stickied. Ha!
Remember the E3 threads on the blog? Total anarchy. I posted so many times in those threads trying to answer everyone's questions.

You used to write a wall of text in those blogs if I remember correctly. I knew you were going to be a mod even back then.

Yeah, I wrote a lot in those posts. There was already a campaign for me to be a mod during the blog days. It was kind of weird. Flattering, but weird.

@CitizenKane: @Claude: Just think...there are users on this site that don't know or remember the Bomb Shelter, IRC, why events are called Bombing Runs, Bomb Should Have a Face, ItalyCanadian, scat/Power Ranger porn, and BoG.
This is us reminiscing on Joseppie's mass wiki submission load on launch day:
Makes me proud to have been here since the very beginning, long live Giant Bomb, my favourite corner of the internet.

Man, i screwed up and accidently hit 4 stars instead of 5! Theres no possible way i'll sleep tonight, but that aside, Happy Birthday Giant Bomb!
Oh, you'll be able to sleep, but I don't think you would want to....
I'd be interested in learning more about the history of Giant Bomb and all the major events that have happened in its time. Is there some place we can learn about that? It'd be really cool to have some sort of documentation of GB's storied history... though I'm still a young user, I know I'd love to contribute a little on the Whiskeypocalypse for future Bomber generations.@CitizenKane: @Claude: Just think...there are users on this site that don't know or remember the Bomb Shelter, IRC, why events are called Bombing Runs, Bomb Should Have a Face, ItalyCanadian, scat/Power Ranger porn, and BoG.

Hold on to that thought. I might be cooking up something similar to what you are talking about.
Just hold on until the weekend.

As I very recent addition to the community myself, I would also be pretty interested in something like this as well. Some sort of "Previously on Giant Bomb..." would be awesome!
