Forums > Site Announcements > Happy 15th Anniversary!

Today marks the HonestGamers site's unofficial 15th anniversary. It's hard to believe that so many exciting things have happened in the 15 years since I first decided to build a site about video games.

Almost none of it would have been possible without the many people who joined in and contributed great reviews. They made it clear that we had something special here, and that kept me writing and developing, long after the project otherwise might have been lost to the abyss that has swallowed up so many other hobbyist efforts.

Thank you to all of you who contribute to the site today, and to those of you who were able to contribute in the past but who no longer have the time to participate in the present. Many have long since left the site and won't ever see this message, but I am grateful to every person who helped weave the rich tapestry that is HonestGamers today.

In the coming year and beyond, I mean to do everything I can to keep great content flowing, and to make the site a worthwhile place to regularly visit. I hope that I can continue to count on support from some or all of you, and that you'll feel good about inviting friends to join in the fun. We'll never be a huge online destination, but we have something special here and I mean to enjoy it for as long as I can. Thanks to all of you who do the same. With any luck, I'll be posting another message like this 10 years from now, when the site has been around for a quarter-century!

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
