so... what did I missed fellas?

You might want to read through here a bit for the new features. Also, the rest of the Announcement section gives good information too.

Definitely one of the best communities ever here. Don't even dare to compare this to fedora trolls from reddit.
Enjoy. :D
Well, there are quite some familiar faces that appear a lot and they're kinda hard to miss after you spend some time in here. :3

Forum of Steamgifts has probably the greatest community I've ever encountered. I remember that I totally wasn't expecting that.

This forum is inhabited by robots, ninjas and addicts. We are all enslaved by the great CG. He in turn was generated by GabeN.

JOIN US.

how things works here?

For all your curiosity satisfactions, please refer to the FAQ (it's up there, along with all these nifty buttons).
(Please note, no money back guarantee in the eventual event that the FAQ did NOT satisfy your satisfaction.)

is that forum active?

Yes, the forum is decently active.

does people are salty elitist assholes like reddit?

Ehh, that's up to you to judge. Every forum has it share of scum. Personally, I consider the Steamgifts forum as a terrific community, compared to the rest of the internet.

you guys are like family, same faces all day?

Pretty much, yeah. You'll learn to recognize the "veterans" as I call them. But it isn't limited to a handful of users, there are lots of people using the forum.

We all are here to promote niceness. To make a world prettier

IT A LIE , RUN BEFORE...... (in monotone voice) it a splendid community with splendid people, it a splendid community with splendid people,it a splendid community with splendid people....

there already was a forum in sg before this change. glad you cared enough to check it this time.

is ur name lemo-nerd or lemon-erd or is it dr. enomel? if you don't respond with an answer I will distinct u in my head as dr. lemon nerd whenever I see u from now on

Actually, it is one the nicest communities i saw. most people here are nicer than some people i know in real life.

The forum has been here, and quite active, since the beginning of days. (or at the very least, since I joined 3 years ago). I'm glad you found it this time around.

We are definitely like a family, with the annoying cousins and thanksgiving dinner drama from time to time. This is pretty much the only community where I stayed active because it's both informative, helpful and wildly entertaining.

Hai.

Did I miss*

TL;DR version of the answer : The new SteamGifts are so MUCH better than the previous one! Faster site with many features added. Explore, you'll like what you find ^^
