Bruh my account is almost 10 years old D:

It's older than the post in OP's image! Geez...

 

I still remember a time when the forum didn't exist, WAN show didn't exist, NCIX Esther was still active and Crazy Russian hadn't done a face reveal.

It's difficult to grasp the wild ride LTT has been so far and the train is still going at full speed!

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

The LTT Forum is now 10 years old! What started out as an experiment hosted in Linus's garage has now become a thriving community of tech enthusiasts, with some pretty impressive numbers, thanks in no small part to all of you!

 

The forum has come a long way from the incredibly unstable VBulletin 5 beta that we started out with in 2013, and I hope you will agree that it looks far better today than it did back then:

The forum exists because of its awesome community. As a small way of giving back, we're going to give away some 1 year Gold Contributor memberships, which give you Floatplane access, based on recent activity on the forum. The giveaway criteria are:

  • 5 will be randomly assigned to the authors of posts made in the past 3 months (so your chance of winning is proportional to the number of posts you have made in the past 3 months), to give something back to everyone that makes this community awesome. Posts removed by a moderator, and posts in Test Posts, do not qualify.
  • 10 will be randomly assigned to members who joined the forum in or before 2015 and have made at least one post on the forum in the past 3 months, to thank our most loyal members.
  • 5 will be given to the members with the most posts that were marked as the best answer in the past 3 months, to say thanks to the members that give the most back to the community. Posts where a member marked their own post as best answer are excluded.

Winners will be drawn later this week, and notified via PM by me. The full list of winners will be published here once all winners have accepted their prize.

 

All winners have now been contacted and received their prize

 

Ts&Cs:

  1. Max one prize per user
  2. If a winner already has a Gold Contributor subscription, they will get 1 year free starting from their next billing period
  3. Current moderators and administrators, and employees of LMG or its subsidiaries, are not eligible
  4. The giveaways will be drawn in the order listed. If an ineligible user is drawn (per points 1 and 3 above), an additional winner will be drawn.
  5. Winners will have 7 days from being notified via PM to accept the prize (by replying to the PM), otherwise their prize will be redrawn under the same rules.
  6. No cash value, non-transferrable, run at our own discretion, etc. Please don't get mad if you don't win.
  7. "Past 3 months" means between 00:00 on 01 October 2022 and 23:59 on 31 December 2022 inclusive, all UTC (so it's too late to try and game the system now).
  8. "In or before 2015" means the "Joined" field on the account is before 00:00 UTC on 01 January 2016.

next year make it crypto tesla inspired in honor to the hack of this year

It depends on how you define active. If its just logged in and posted this year,  @Vanderburg

 

If its posting something yearly, that's harder to find out.

I'm sure I've posted something every year since registering, but I don't post often, I mostly consume. I'm an active lurker, though. Hard to beat user ID 11!

I didn't realize the forum was only a couple years old when I joined. It feels like something that has always been here.

I've registered for many forums during the past ~20 years that I've spent online, but LTT is the only one where I've done more than the odd post here and there, and always come back.

You might need couple of more posts. Blogs were targeted by spammers, so quick fix was to put in place limit. I think it's 10 posts which you can reach in a day just browsing.

Glad to be a part of this community! Hard to believe it's been almost 7 years since I first found you guys on youtube! Thanks Linus and Team for all the prior and future memories!
