6 years as part of a wonderful forum!

Armelline

Today marks my 6th year on the GameSalad forums. I believe this makes me literally the oldest member of the forums. That's very weird! I spent a good part of those first years lurking and learning and waiting for GameSalad to shape into the tool I needed it to be, but I hope that since becoming an active member a few years ago I've been able to give back some of the help and support these forums gave me in my early days. I've seen some great members come and go, and some great members come and stay.

These forums are some of the friendliest and most helpful forums I've ever encountered, and the willingness of people to take their time to not just advise but show and even do has never ceased to impress me. I particularly want to thank @tatiang, @RThurman, @Socks and @Braydon_SFX whose tutorials, demos, code snippets and wisdom helped me to learn new things even when I thought I didn't have anything left to learn (tip: you always have things left to learn).

Anyway, thanks to all members old and new for making this place the great place to be that it is!

I'm hoping to release a little treat in my Free Stuff thread later to celebrate this anniversary, so keep an eye out for it!

Especially thanks! From a new comer. Still lurking about gaining knowledge, not quite in the drivers seat, more like the guy standing outside the car... offering to clean your windows.

Thanks guys! And an extra shoutout to @The_Gamesalad_Guru - although your videos came out after they'd have been most useful to me, they're a real asset for the community!

Yes. I've learned and taught and released well over a dozen games (though most for clients). I've personally helped dozens more to make and release their own games. I feel my time spent with GameSalad has been worthwhile.
