Happy 10th Birthday, Smogon!

[EeveeTrainer]

10 years ago today, on December 18, 2004, chaos created these forums and registered his account (http://www.smogon.com/forums/members/chaos.1/). Two weeks later (January 1, 2005), I registered the smogon.com domain (admittedly initially to troll him) but then gave it to him for his 17th birthday (January 2, 2005).

I never thought these forums (much less the site) would stay around this long, since I always thought it was created merely as a refuge for #neodome-ites who found themselves lost and confused after Celia revealed herself to be a man.

Happy birthday Smogon!

I think you're being a little too generous. Even I don't think I should be posting here, being a halfie. Oh well I'm posting anyway, congrats!

I hope my 7 years of militancy make me old enough to post here. Happy anniversary Smogon!

Pokemon on the internet. Let's make it happen.

And we did.

Can't believe it's been 10 years since smogon was just an idea talked about on #rs and #tafop. Miss this shit.

 

[Camden]

Congrats, people! Here's to another 10 years!

 

[Death Phenomeno]

Happy Birthday, Smogon! Let's make it another 10!

Where the fuck did the time go?

Life was so much better when I was playing with quick attack Zangoose on RSBot instead of Microsoft Excel at an investment bank.

Fuck everything.

And I thought six years was something.

I'm the newest so far here :[

congrats on the 10th anniversary! I've only been here 4 and a half years and I feel like time flew by too quickly.

This thread reminds me of when I got my badge and clicked on the last page of inside scoop. Except way older!

Only took us 10 years to get official T-shirts 8)

it is something :(

Only took us 10 years to get official T-shirts 8)

the idea had been brought up several times before that. a design was even developed and some people own a t-shirt with them (fishy and zerowing do).

edit: also it is slightly unsettling that a bunch of old farts showed up seemingly for the sole purpose of posting in this thread.

 

[Mr.E]

how am I supposed to lord over everyone else with my seniority when all the other old farts are posting in here
