Today is my cakeday! I haven't been overly active over the past year, I even missed doing something for my last cakeday. Today that changes. Today I create a thread. A thread of reminiscing and one question. I think we'll have fun.

This cakeday marks six years for me. Six years is a long time to be active on a forum. I registered back in 2013. My gods I was just a baby back then. 6 years! This got me to thinking of the time I've spent on here and the people I've got to meet. The things we've done together. It's more than being just about giveaways, it's about cherishing the time we spend together and fostering these relationships that will last an unspecified amount of time. I'm sure there are many of you that have met people and become friends with them over this website. That in and of itself is pretty amazing. Meeting people online and caring about them, crazy.

This also got me to thinking of all the awesome events and threads that have been created. So many unique ideas that have come about.

The ones that come to the top of my mind include:

These are just few of the many many moments/events/experiences you've come to appreciate on this beloved site of ours.

On to the question now! :D

What's been you're favorite event, moment or experience here so far? Does one come to the top of you mind or has this all been a massive waste of time? Or perhaps you have registered here many moons ago, only to stay in the shadows as a lurker. Never contributing, only leeching. Less than ten comments altogether. To you I say now is the best time to jump in! The water is just right!

Obligitory cakeday giveaway
Bad Rats VR courtisy of the great Fiftykyu

Solution: Each number/letter of the giveaway code was italicized above, and they were the only things that was italicized. Put together you had the code "aM63O" leading you to my train here: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/aM63O/60-parsecs :)

If you had difficulty with this, you should check out Zelghadis' Puzzle Guide.

I've enjoyed my time here :)

Happy Cake Day! 🎂
Edit: Forgot to answer the question. I think OnlyTwin's and Xarlor's nonogram events were pretty fun. Or most puzzle events, jeffhowe comes to mind.

Man, that December was crunk with your advent calendar. I can't believe it's almost been 3 years since that.

I really like how Jatan doesn't give a damn about anything and just keep going.

And happy little factory day!

Happy cake day, and glad to see you around again!

You're reminding me that I'm overdue for another event. The last one I did was the Trash Typhoon™ back in May. I have spreadsheets of organized stuff for the next thing...just trying to figure out what I want to do, in what order, and if I can pull off the scope of the idiocy I've concocted.

In fact...if you ever want to lend your own brand of quirkiness to any of my events (i.e., team up), you just let me know. I can always use a fellow conspirator.

Welcome back, and enjoy your cake, man!

Happy Fyantastic Cake Day!

Fortix & Hunger Games have been pretty much the best events I remember.
I also really enjoyed running the "I'd buy that for a dollar" event years ago (time flies, woohoo!). Maybe I should do something like that again when I can find the time and the budget for it.

I'd buy that for a dollar

I remember this! I commented and made a pun much like you just did now lol

btw that was the first time I had ever seen that clip too and I showed it to all my people. It was in my head for days. :D

Classic movie one-liners tend to have that effect :)
Maybe I should theme my next event after another such quote. Hmmm....

I see your cakeday is coming up too! Happy early cakeday! There were a ton of familiar faces that registered during July/August months. We must really not like heat. lol

Only taking into consideration events made by others, because, of course I've liked mine! =P

anyway.. that hunger games event made me laugh a lot :')
One of the first events I've bumped into when I first joined was one of those F5 giveaways.. "maan, everyone here is crazy" I thought, while hysterically crushing my F5 key XD

EDIT: dammit, forgot again >_<!
Happy cakeday! ^_^

F5 giveaways

I can't believe I forgot this. Let me tell you, I love f5 giveaways!. Nothing like bringing a couple hundred users together smashing one key on their keyboard for a straight hour. Good times.

It made me proud that I found these as well and sad at the same time for spending ~30 minutes on it, 2 hours after you :c

Yes! These were both the event's I was thinking of. Thank you for linking me those. I really should've found the train one, but man I searched forever for the lesser known heroes thread. :)

Whoa, I see my name in there! :o

There are actually 4 christmasifying threads, and 2 spookifying threads (unfortunately, spookifying was way too hard and tiring so I had to stop doing those).

Happy cake day Fyan!! Always nice to see you still hangin' around. :D

As for being on steamgifts I've met some really awesome, kind people on here. Definitely worth the stay!
These Christmas advents come to mind, always genuinely excited to check back each day. I also really enjoyed the official unwrapping 5 gifts a day thing last year! Some super clever wrapping paper/gifs.

I've also been taking part (only missing 3 months) in the Play a game you won on Steamgifts threads since March 2017 which has been fun. Particularly enjoy reading/talking to people about what they think of the games or are excited to play. :)
