You may have noticed that we like to announce whenever one of our staff members has a birthday, since PGC is like a family anyway. Well, we also like to take the first weekend in March every year to celebrate the website's own birthday. Planet GameCube was born in 1999 and is still here today, covering not only GameCube but all of Nintendo's current and upcoming systems. Six years is pretty darn old for a website! Although we're proud to have stuck around for this long, we're even prouder of the quality of work we do for you, the readers, year after year. In fact, we've been so busy in the past few weeks (just take a look at the Editorials section, among other things), that our birthday snuck up before we even had time to think about doing anything really special for it! Even without a fancy contest this year, we hope you'll celebrate today by thinking back on some of the great and crazy moments in PGC history, and look forward to many more yet to come.

Have birthday, PGC. And many more.
Haha, have birthday. I should say that more often. I meant happy, of course, I have no idea how that happened

Granted I don't post so much these days. (Some might say ever) But I do have plenty of good memories involving this site. Including the day I found out that Rick Powers had invited me to the invite only forum called "wrestling chatter" which has of course been locked down for eons now but still, it made me feel really speacial.
I love this place and have considered it to be a model site for the way a fansite should be run. So many things that I have seen done here have influenced the way I work at Nintendo-Reloaded.
Job well done guys. Please keep this place going. The Nintendo fanworld wouldn't be the same without you.

You guys should make the site green like it used to be for one day!

But I digress. Happy birthday PGC... I've been here since before the GC launched. In fact I came here quite by accident right after learning the Gamecube's name... figured there'd be a Gamespy "planetwhatever" site about it.

Ive been coming for...what? 3.5 years now, and I still visit today. Yes, there was a rocky period right after Billy left, but you guys definitly picked up and continued with a great website.
Congrats.

I figure they should wait until the Revolution is official revealed in case of a name change. Planet Revolution is going to sound dumb if Nintendo debuts the "Super Duper Nintendo" at E3. I suggest not using a console name but rather something generic that relates to Nintendo. Otherwise you have to change the name every five years or so.
Anyhoo congratulations on 6 years. I've really loved the site in 2005 so far and I can't wait for E3 when you'll hopefully be covering the Revolution's debut.
I've been coming here since 2000. Damn that makes me feel old. I was a teenager back then. I used to think that at this age I would own a house and maybe even have kids by now.

Thanks for the quality work over the years, and not charging the fans a cent. May Reggie give you an ass-kicking exclusive this year

I have been reading the news and editorials at the site for about 3 years and i must say it is the most interesting and easy-to-read gamecube site on the net!
Well Done!
Post by: Pale on March 07, 2005, 05:47:12 PM
I originally found the site back when gamespy (i think) called all their sites planetsomething or other... like plantxbox, planetps2, etc. I typed PlanetGamecube into my browser and for like the first 6 months thought you were affiliated with them... =P
Anyway, I look forward to your e3 coverage this year...
...and the next time you are looking for new staffers... =P
