Today marks my tenth year on BYOND! I've officially been on this site for almost half of my life now, including the entirety of my teenage years and a sliver of my adult life. I'm currently 21 going on 22 now, and probably would have never pursued being a programmer had I not discovered BYOND. So, thanks BYOND and the wonderful developers that make it happen, as well as the folks out there making games. =)!
Yay for LordAndrew and bigger yay for BYOND!
I'm closing in on my 9th year. Not quite double digits yet though.
You joined BYOND when you were 11?



You've been caught red handed! And it only took ten years to get some justice around here.
Wooo! Welcome to the club!

OOOHHH! Strip him of his title!

To be fair, I don't think they had an age restriction back in those days. I don't remember one when I joined, anyway. Might have put it in shortly after that, though...

Either that, or LordAndrew is a rebel without a cause.
Wow, quite a while there. About twice as long as me, heh. I was almost 17 or so when I joined, and I'm just past my 5 and a half year mark right now. It'll be 6 years in March.

I wouldn't of ever gotten into pixel art, programming, or game design in general if it weren't for BYOND, and I've heard of at least a few others who went into schooling for it because of BYOND, so I guess BYOND really has had a huge impact on several lives.
Congrats! I hope BYOND is still "here" for me to reach that point :P
I joined when I was 10. 7 years ago. There was an age restriction then. What about the other 3 years?
Well, I joined when the site looked like this:

http://web.archive.org/web/20011129013554/http://byond.com/

And I don't think the key creation process was sophisticated enough yet. In fact, I recall reading the ToS, but I don't think it was even required to check a box to certify my agreement with them (my memory may be wrong about that, though)

The site's come a long way since then.
Wow... now it makes me feel old. 6 years for me, and I can same the same that LA has. I don't think I would be pursuing programming had I not come across BYOND. I've been demoted down to lurker status for now, though. Maybe I'll get the gumption to work on something before my Membership expires.

Looked like this when I joined lol.
That's awesome Andrew!! :)
It's been just over 8 years for me! :)
Going on seven for me.

And yeah, I highly doubt I'd be into the programming business if not for BYOND. I'll drop a couple stacks BYOND's way after I make it.
BYOND has an impact on my grades.
Twelve years here. Where does the time go?
Congratz Lord! You're amazing a good friend a good person a good overall.
8 years for me with my first account.
