YA SAY WHAT?!!!!
I've been at GT Planet for one year today. I had never been involved in a forum before, so the whole concept was new.

After spending a few hours looking at the options and layout, I had taken the bait and swallowed, all without knowing it.
I was in, and quickly found a few topics that interested me more so than some others, and nestled in and got comfortable.:sly:

I had been playing GT for a long time and knew there must be a lot more people, like myself, that where submerged in the GT phenomena, and here is where they all were.:lol:

Well, I've meet and laughed and conversed with members from all over the world, won a months Premium, come 3rd in a season of F1 time trials, and improved my driving on and offline through competetion and this all thanks to a man with a dream, Jordan, and his band of of entrusted mods. All of you give up your time and knowledge to allow people from around the world to come together and enjoy a myriad of opinions and topics.

Looking for to the next year and beyond.:cheers:

Share a short story of your GTP beginnings, if you want.👍

Not won. Earned. :D

Congrats and here's to another year. :cheers:

I came looking for GT4 videos, had to be registered to download them, did so and, like you, I was hooked instantly.

*checks date joined*

Looks like I'm at 5 years and 6 days now. Cool.
 
I made a thread after my one year too. I can't believe I've been here for Almost 3 years! Its the most time Ive ever been on a forum. And I guess its just the fact that im not talking to a bunch of kids, Im speaking to adults. Its about time!
 
Someone who I raced with a lot on GT5P "tedsleds" reccomended gtplanet to me for car setups,now it has became a way of life. 1 year next week.
 
I came here looking for whatever info of the Toyota 88C-V exists, there is none. Registered, looked around a bit, and actually started posting, a month later, very rarely. But here I am now, an everyday user and i'm adored by everyone!!! :lol:. My account turns 1 in october.
 
I came here about 2 years ago looking for info on some cars for GT4.. I rarely posted, and I got hooked in the GT4 Photomode section and I had a big album and everything.

Nowadays, I come here daily but I don't post that much. Maybe about 5-6 posts a day..?

Also, my job is due ruin every Funny Pic Thread.
/sarcasm









:indiff:
 
I came here two years ago, or something, I was 12. I've been here actually just over two years, now that I look at it, I joined July 27 2007. Cool. And 2000+ posts.

Well, it all started when I was looking at GT4 drifting videos, having just bought GT4. I was on a vacation in Lake Chelan, and I hadn't brought my PS2. I had pumped myself up with videos of drifting, and I noticed a comment: "Have you checked out GTPlanet?" i came, and I just joined, since it was my first forum visit. I settled in quite nicely, although my personality didn't work well. As it happens so, I think I won the 2007 "Epic fail" award. That didn't help me, as I quickly accumulated 25 infraction points.
 
Found the site when I was around 9 or 10, only joined a few years later when I thought I was mature enough.
 
I made a thread for my one year also. I came here looking for how to drift in GT3 and GT4 back in October 07. I took a huge break from Christmas 07 to march 08. Now I havent left.
 
I was barely old enough to legally drive when I first found GTP. Now I have a wife, a 3 year old, and a one year old.



It goes by fast, folks - 8 and counting.
 
Reccomended by MazKid I believe on an AOL chat room a very long time ago.

7 years and counting...
 
I came here on December the 16th 2007 looking for Prize car lists for GT4. Found them. Registered. And now I'm on every day :D
 
Registered in September 2006. First time in a forum, so I was quite lost. I made it my priority to read every single thread in the GT1 and GT2 forums before I made a post myself (to prevent embarrasment etc). Needless to say, I can't live without GTP now :lol:. Best place on the 'net 👍.
 
Looks like June 2nd was my 1 year anniversary. I had stumbled upon the forums and had been looking as a guest for about 2 months before I joined. During the summer I'm on every day, but during the school year... :scared:
 
In October, I'll be 7. I joined to take part in the OLR that was going on here.
 
Thanks very much for the kind words, zed300, I'm glad you're enjoying your time here! :cheers:
 
I've always wondered, Jordan. What gave you the motivation to create a GT forum? Were there any successful GT forums back then, or is GTP the first?
 
i THINK i registered here because i wanted a link for the gt4 demo with bmw(not sure about that) and i'm also pretty sure that amar and stinger gave the link

at least i think that's how it happened, almost 5 years have passed since my registration :dunce:
 
2 years :) August 2007. I semm to go through impulse posting phases. Came here because I looked up Gran Turismo and GTP came up on page 20 something. So I clicked.

I think I've been here through two of Jordan's Avatars.

EDIT: I've actually been at GTP Two years Today.
 
How did I forget, I just went past my third year at GTP, 4 days ago. In that time I've moved house, went from Primary to Secondary school, then changed school again.

Congrats Danster for your two years aswell!
 
It was after a couple of on-line race sessions a little over a year ago with a well known Aussie GTP member that I was made aware of GTPlanet .

Please excuse any of my earlier threads/posts.:guilty:
 
It's been good having you here this past year Jeff.:) Say PAPA, which member would that be? I remember telling you to join after racing you online, but can't remember if you said somebody else had already told you about this joint.:)
 
I have probably visited here heaps of times without knowing how good it was before I signed up. (I distictly remember seeing the Nurburgring webcam thread ages ago - and I stumbled on it again when I was a member).
I joined because of the GT4 photo comps. Then I moved into the GT5P section where I started posting. I got into online racing events after a totally by chance meeting with Papa and Animera with the 350z event at Daytona road.

Since then, I have opened two galleries, contributed to the best of my ability, and met great people to chat or race with. I even had a happy birthday thread opened for me!

Strangely, many people refer me to my PSN name instead of GTP username. I don't know why - but I don't mind 👍.

My account is just over half a year old.

Thankyou all for being so accomodating and such a genuinely friendly bunch of people. 👍

Because it's easier to say.:lol:
 
Approaching two years but it feels like a lifetime. This place has been so great to me and I have made some purely awesome friends, some of which I may even meet in the future. The people here dont really judge you by your age/height or size, it is such a nice friendly place to enjoy your spare time in. There is always a post to reply to or a forum to visit, I love it here :( (Happy Tears). Ill say more on the 29th of October :).

Thank you all.
 
I registered when I was looking up prize cars for GT4 and the forums tab caught my eye. My first forum was "Twin City Mustangs" back in January of 2008 but I was outcasted because I was... well... a headstrong, immature little 🤬. But I've learned from that experience and I know what to say and what not to say.
I've still got a long way to go but I've been here for a month. It'll all be a matter of time before I am one of the 1 year members.

But not for another 11 months.
