    It isn't for everyone yet, but happy birthday to BeamNG! I haven't been here for all of it, but it has been a fun first year for me.

    I remember the forums were much less active when I joined. (Before Drive was released)

    Wow, it's been a year already. I can still remember watching the release clock thingy while listening to "The Final Countdown"

    Here's a screenshot I took of the glorious moment

    I remember being one of the first to get the demo which I played while the full version took a LONG time to download due to so many people downloading it.

    Wow. That's a crazy long time. Crazier that I've been on here since I found out about it from ROR. I feel like I've been on ROR a lot longer but in reality it was only about 4 months.

    Happy birthday BNG!

    I recall visiting Youtube a few days after that video's release in mid-2012. By chance, I managed to see it boosted to Youtube's front page due to its popularity. Had I not seen that there, I may not have been informed of BeamNG's existence.

    Anyway, upon the release of the second or third video, I decided it may settle my curiosity to stop by the forums mentioned in the videos' descriptions. From that day forward, I visited semi-regularly. I was here to see Gabe's soft unveiling of the vehicles seen in the videos, and therefore the start of the official showroom. I recall seeing the H-series win the "what vehicle should I work on next?" thread by a landslide. Donoteat's incredible work on PenguinvilleNG, and, inversely, the announcement of engine change toward January-February 2013. Then the streaming sessions, and then the mysterious release countdown, plus BeamNG's first publicly released mod.

    I only ever got an account upon BeamNG's release. So, yeah, about a year ago I joined the forums I'd been observing from afar. Memories, huh?

    I think it may have been an early version of Dry Rock Island.

    Will never forget that fateful day cruising through IGN and seeing "the most realistic damage model you've never seen". Can't wait to see where this is August 2015.:cool:

    Remember all those "GTA V physics" videos that were literally the same video as the one posted above?

    I feel like it has gone through very quickly. I wish I could see how many people were on at the time of release, it was at the bottom but it has been changed due to a new most viewers ever. They should have a "View past Record Views" button with dates.
