I've registered on this site three long years ago and I loved every part of it. Back then invites were still mandatory for registration (the good times). I wasn't really active at the site when it comes to forums(I'm still not) but I do remember a few things.
The huge Skyrim hype when it was released and everyone saying thanks for skyrim, the big fortix event where devs gave as many copies as the users, steamgifts being really laggy and switching servers to better performing ones, a bug which prevented anyone from logging to the site(one user found a way to login by messing around with the url), trading cards with user avatars and lots of other stuff.

This is probably my favourite and most used site after google and youtube :D Thanks for being such a great community. I love you all.

Here are two giveaways for you old members(or early birds if you want :P). KUdCr4B1VZ The only requirement is that you registered here 3 years ago. I've contacted the support and I'm waiting for approval. EDIT I've got the approval.

i don't think you'll find users with 3 years. there are few, but not so much.

+[]() if you release giveaway to public and add requirements afterwards, you might not get approval/re-roll

Only just scraping three years myself and I neglected you lovely lot for about two of those three. I'm a wee bit more active these days though & I'm sorry I missed out on what is generally speaking a warm and friendly community :)

Thanks for the giveaways Warhawk!
I remember all the things you said, and when I see all the people taking advantage of the contributor system (for example) I really miss those days

NO CV :)

I don't see CV as a bad thing, even though it's abused a lot.
I still have the ability to select the winners of my giveaways, as few as they are.
Plus, selecting at least a minimum amount of CV when creating a giveaway, reduces the chances that the guy who will win the giveaway will actually be an asshole and not activate the game and lots of other things. :)
tl;dr CV is a good thing in my opinion.

I get kinda nostalgic like that. And it's not only 3 years, for me that's quite a big period of time.
I always liked things which are not available to everyone, and invite only system made this community special in my eyes.

I've never been a part of something exclusive so, sadly i can't relate.
Except for this torrent website from my country, but i still had to pay a guy some money to get an invite a few years ago, and it went free for all recently so i guess it doesn't count. :)

Since you mentioned torrents, I do miss demonoid. I don't think there was anything fake posted there.

Is it bad that I don't have a $30 contributor value after 3 years?

I mean, I buy like 2 games a year.

Well simply giving away bundle games would have netted you $30 CV and they're very cheap, so I kinda think it is.

You're not a newbie :) If it wasn't for your great puzzle solving guide I don't think I would have even heard of genetic code encryption.

Didn't everybody?
I joined about a month after i created my one and only steam account.
In the first days, i didn't even think people do this kind of stuff on the internet, but i somehow got into my first giveaway on the steam forums...i won a small, bundle game, but the important thing was that i learned the term "giveaway".
After that, honestly i think my google search history for quite a while was mostly "steam key giveaway; free steam key; etc" xD
Then, i somehow found this :)

I've been wondering the same thing, but sadly I don't think it is.

Without CG or someone else with database access looking up the timestamp, no - fairly sure it's not displayed anywhere. Instead we get the vague "friendly" time (I personally like to display the true date in a title attribute when doing that, if it's not shown elsewhere)

That, title attribute, or making date clickable which would switch from friendly date to a timestamp, or adding a little question mark next to it, with modal popup or something.
But oh well, doesn't matter really. xD
