Seven? Are you kidding? That's about 120 in Internet-years!

Update: A little birdie told me that we actually started on March 7th, not the 6th...oops. So this article is getting post-dated. So much for quality control! ;-) Or maybe we're just becoming forgetful in our old age.

Planet GameCube began its tumultuous life as N2000HQ on March 7, 1999. That's seven years ago, today. As the oldest existing GameCube-centric website, PGC is so old that it existed two months before "Project Dolphin" was announced as the GameCube's codename. We've survived the dot-com bubble, hackers, and skeptical game publishers.

Today, Planet GameCube looks much the same as it has for years, but things have changed. The site is running on a lean and powerful new database to give you easier access to our huge archive of information. We have hired a large staff of amazing volunteers who bring you all the latest Nintendo news and reviews, every day. We have developed some of the tightest quality control and editing standards in the gaming press. And we have built up the finest group of Nintendo fans in the world...in fact, our readers span the entire world!

We have big plans for PGC in 2006, to go along with Nintendo's new console and the advent of online gaming with the DS. Stay tuned, because it's getting better all the time.

As in years past, we invite you to participate in the site's birthday celebration with a huge new contest -- details will be coming soon, so look out!

Hey, I get to be the first reply. I just wanna say congrats to PGC, and all of the great people who work for it. I have been coming here for a long time (I was an IGN refugee) and ever since I discovered the planet, it has been my favorite place for nintendo news, and forums. Congrats for the 7 years, and may PGC last untill armaggeddon finally puts nintendo out of business.

Edit: Damn!!! Caliban beat me to it.

Technically neither of you are first since I commented in the actual news article way before either of you.

Bow down, suckas.

Congrats! Now where's the strippers? Wait... should there be strippers at a 7 year old's b-day party?

From what I hear, Macaulay Culkin had them at his 7th. Why not PGC?

Zach · « **Reply #6 on:** March 06, 2006, 11:37:07 AM »

well, as the article says, its 120 in internet years, so the strippers might give PGC a heart attack!

Caliban · « **Reply #7 on:** March 06, 2006, 11:40:01 AM »

What we need is a REV stripper, that would please me alot!

PS: Don't really care who posted first.

Holy crap. congrats to everyone at PGC for 7 years of lolling across the internets!

I even made a rare trip back to the forums just to say this!
I havent been in here since forever lolol.
I still check out the news though, so thats gotta count for something.
And the original Pietriots gang from 2003 back in the EZBoard days is still alive and kicking!

Congrats, PGC!

Seven years. Seven years ago I was trying to find a date to the prom. Considering that PGC has only been a part of my adult life it's really crazy to imagine it being that old. Actually it's really crazy to imagine myself being that old.

Happy birthday, PGC!

Oh and before someone gets in a snide comment I did find a prom date.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #20 on:** March 06, 2006, 01:41:11 PM »

How about the snide comment about you being an old fogey?

Happy Birthday, PGC!

Karl Castaneda #2 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2006, 01:43:24 PM »

Don't worry, Ian; take comfort in knowing that people who write for PGC are much, much younger than you.

Happy 7th BDAY PGC. It's as if I was saying this to an actual child, a child which at about the age of 3, caught my eye. I sorta liked this child, so I started looking at it. I continued to look at that child until it was about 5 then I started talking to the wonderful child. At first I wasn't really sure how to talk to it, but I slowly got more confidence into showing myself to the child. But now, I feel I have fully exposed my self to the child.

Happy 7th Birthday, kiddo!

Renny · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2006, 02:32:15 PM »

Happy B-day all ya'll at PGC. This is the best Nintendo site and community by a country mile. I hope you guys keep it up through the Rev and beyond. I'll toast a glass of this craptacular Beaujolais in your honor.
