What can I say . . . I have known Shockwave for a long time and have been a member here for almost five years too! :)
It has been invaluable to me as a very poor coder - the help both he (Shockwave) and of course a load of you on here have given not just to me but everybody else who comes onto this site/forum.
A place I will continue to visit and hopefully contribute when I can. A warm friendly place that unfortunately I don't frequent enough really.

Cheers for the last ten years and here is to the next ten and beyond! ;) Keep up the fantastic work.

Regards

Hey!

Well I've not dropped in here for a very long time but it is great to see the place still running.  :)

Maybe if I get some time I will finally enter a compo this year.  ;D

Very good, lads. Great to see we're still going. Was the PS2 not released in Autumn/Winter 2001, though?

Yaloopy, I going off the date the original ps2 yabasic ezboard site was set up which was 29th Jan 2001.  Wikipedia tells me the PS2 shipped in Japan early 2000, so the forum must have been created pretty much the same time the PS2 came out in Europe.

I emigrated to here from there. I think I started on the YaBasic board in 2002/3.

Last time I checked it was over-grown with spams. :-[

The biggest thing I can say that I got from here was my current job.  I have no current formal programming qualifications and thanks mostly to what I've learned here I have been able to get a job as a programmer.

I got a similar thing from this forum (and the old ps2yabasic one).
I taught myself to code at home after school and then one day I got this internet thing, about the same time as I got my ps2, and stumbled across the forum.

Over a bit of time the forum changed me from a young coder who knew everything to a slightly older coder who realized he knew nothing and it really made me buckle down and learn.

Everyone here has always been friendly and a very valuable source of help.

After about 6 months of study at AIE I landed a job developing games (my dream came true) and after that I did some work on a UML tool and I doubt it would have ever happened without the help I got here.

After all my years on the internet this is the only forum I still actively follow!

Good work to all who have kept this place alive  :buddies:

I too would have liked to have been a game developer for one of the big companies like Nintendo, Activision, etc, but I doubt I'd meet their standards :(

It's good to see things are working out for people, and that places like this do serve a purpose.
