25 year anniversary?

[WildWeazel]

So as @Spoonwood just led me to remember, according to the about page we're coming right up on the 25th anniversary of the forums - or of the original CFC page, it's not clear which. Edit: reading further shows March 2000 was the origin of the forums and the current name


Are there any plans for a CFC silver jubilee? 25% off affiliate links? 25 new smilies? 25 clues you've spent too long at CFC?

Been so busy with Civ7 and other things, did not even realize this.
Thank you for bringing this up.

Time for a celebration!!

I believe this was the first post on CivFanatics, if anyone’s interested in seeing it.

Hard to believe I've been on this site for 2/3 of its lifetime. Its uncomfortably close to 2/3 of my lifetime as well.

All the OGs will remember the vBulletin interface.

Not to mention the amount of outages that sometimes happen .

Well that's a massive shot of nostalgia right there...

Ditto, 15 years Wednesday. Youtube is only site I've been on longer continuously (~2007/2008), but the magic's gone. Not that anyone could've expected better in hindsight. Fundamental difference between social media and more intimate communities like message boards.

I've been on nearly for the full duration. I think I found this one day when my site of choice was Apolyton. Maybe it is time to update my icon

Here's an entirely non-self promoting suggestion: badges/titles for people with most mods uploaded to the site ^^
But on a more sober note: happy 25th anniversary. First time I visited this site I was in my first year at university... Only made an account after graduation.

And I only missed the first twenthy or so months of it! (23 years, one month and two weeks since I joined!)

Evie -- I beat you to it by a solitary day! Incredible.

I got Civ III for Christmas that year, and that probably spurred me onto joining.
