Celebrating 15 Years of GBAtemp!

So this year marks the 15th anniversary of GBAtemp - August 22nd specifically! It's incredible to think GBAtemp has been around for 15 years and it's endearing to see it's still a bustling forum of activity. Although we've had a lot of ups and downs (including myself personally) GBAtemp is still very important to me and a lot of other people and I just wanted to thank whoever reads this for visiting GBAtemp and hope you'll celebrate our 15 years together with me, our other staff & our members.

We have some big changes planned for this year so keep your eyes peeled for updates but for now here's a fun little look at a never before seen design mockup for GBAtemp v3 back in the old "Web 2.0" days!

July 22 will be 5 years here for me, and I am honored to have lived an entire third of GBATemp's lifetime on the forums.

This is an old site! It's good to see that it's still here.
It's a great website and I am happy I signed up for it.
There's people on here that's helped me with a lot of things.
Ranging from 3DS, to ps2, and to even older stuff like the N64.
Thank you, people of gbatemp! :)

Unbelievable that this site survived for almost 15 years.
Most websites are long dead.

Happy 15th b-day Temp!
Glad I'm part of it!

Happy 15th anniversary gbatemp.net but this news has depressed me as I'm old enough to remember when the site was the goto place to get some gba roms illegally lol. And don't change the site to much as I love it just the way it is.
