3 Years of Destructoid
R3Y GUTI3RR3Z \| 10:29 AM on 12.31.2008	31 comments

A bright new year is upon us my fellow gamers, which means Destructoid is going to have its third birthday. If Niero's e-mail this morning is any indication, the festivities are already being planned. I will be supplying true Miami entertainment, hookers and blow of course!

I kid. But, honestly. Three years. Crazy. I've been reading Dtoid since early 2007. How long have you guys been reading? Do you think Dtoid should be trying something different this New Year?

I've been around since May of last year, except that one bitch-ass log-in glitch prevented me from doing anything other than read articles for like the first 3-5 months of my time here.

I think Destructoid should mail out delicious pieces of birthday cake to every active member, even though it would probably smell/taste like ass after many months in transit.

@Mr. Sadistic: I think they should send out Dtoid codoms to every Dtoid member, plus there would be no sticky ass cake for us to eat.

I've been registered for 2 years but I've been reading for a few months more than that. Crazy to think of all the zany stuff that's happened here. Good times, here's to more in 2009!

I was told the original Dtoid design was ugly but.... damn, that is fucking ugly.

Almost 3 years. But you already knew that :)

We hope to have a get-together in Miami on the weekend of March 13-15. More details to come!

I've been a member since early December 2006, but I've been reading since May of 2006, I believe.

Hopefully I'll be reading for many more years to come!

About a year and a half I suppose. I only bothered to make an account about 4 months ago though.

Gosh, I can't remember exactly when I was a member here. I do recall it was before Hamza became an editor, so I guess around April or May of 2006.

Usedtabe says:

Since 2006. Yes, back when Summa was around.

"I've been reading Dtoid since early 2007."

Almost 2 years, But I signed up last year I believe, then my computer shitted on me and wasn't on for the first half of 2008.

T-rav says:
(# 26) on 12/31/2008 19:17

I, too, began reading 2007. Not sure when in '07 exactly, but it was when Summa was around. Good times have been had, and many are to come, surely.

Thinking about the good old times makes me hard. I love you all.

I think I may have been on the site for a little over 2 years now. Crazy.

Destructoid is going to be the most epic thing to hit the Miami scene since us Cubans invaded in the 80's.

BACALAO!
