I spent many hours putting this together, which is why I had to delay it as long as I did. I wanted to capture not only the growth of the site but its community as well. I also wanted it to feel authentic so I did a lot of research in order to represent what it would have felt like using the site during the represented time periods (finding archives and using old internet browsers).

All of the users represented in the video are users with at least 10 posts. A special thanks to the users who went out of there way to put together a video/audio file that I could place in the video

Davideo7 : Happy Anniversary Vizzed! after watching the video I found it to be nicely made and quit interesting to see as there are many things I can personally remember happening on vizzed throughout the over 7 years I have been here including some of the things mentioned such as the game music room being added to the site and the flash games that used to be on vizzed one of the best things for me was when the arcade games were added also known as mame since this is a collection I used to own but lost after the computer I had them on broke down and had to be replaced and while there are still arcade games on here that don,t work due to missing files it,s still nice to be able to play the ones that do the other thing I like is that vizzed is a great community to be a part of unlike other game sites which don,t have the many features that are available here such as being able to post about different topics and being able to communicate with other users but the one thing I do miss about vizzed is being able to rate and assign screenshots which I hope someday will be fixed since there are still a lot of games missing pictures and while you are always very busy I don,t want want to bother you with this problem it,s just something I thought I would mention once again Happy Anniversary Vizzed! hope you are around for many years to come

I kinda feel bad for missing out on this considering Sonic kept bugging me about it, but its honestly my loss. I cant believe its been so long since the creation of the site. Even though I have only been around for a portion of it, it didnt feel like it was so long ago that I even joined. Vizzed has always been such a big part of my life even if I kept going in and out of the site and Im really happy I was able to make so many friends because of it. Its honestly one of the best things to have ever happened to me. Happy anniversary~

I feel so bad for not being able to send my audio/video file. Not like I can blame real life for it, but it was a good chance for me to do something special for this site.

Anyway, the video is amazing. I'm so glad to be part of this place, despite the fact of having been here just about 1/3 of Vizzed's life. I was able to discover the hobby of writing, which I then made a job of sorts by becoming staff, and meeting with people here has allowed me to somewhat open up on real life as well.

I hope I can stay here for Vizzed's 20th anniversary. Not sure how active will I be by then, or if something special will be done for it, but I'd like to witness it if possible. Until then, happy 15 to the Land of V!

Same boat as EX Palen for not being able to send in my own audio, stuff in IRL has been incredibly hectic lately and unfortunately this was over by the time I got it under control

However, I *really* enjoyed seeing this. As an older vet who has been around for a long time, active for pretty much all ten years I've been registered, this really took me back and put me in a happy place. You've done incredible with this site, David. Even if I wanted to I'll probably never be able to completely detach myself from Vizzed just due to the sheer amount of friends and memories I've made here, some people even being my closest friends now - that's why I'm more than happy to be working as the highest position, and I'll always try to keep up my work no matter where I am in life. Love you, big guy. This is a celebration for all of us.

I really hate, hate, hate how I didnt do this...its sad really....I guess theres a next time hopefully? this video that has been put together is really amazing and captures what vizzed really is as a site and as a community as a whole. to many years more to vizzed!

I really enjoyed the video. I appreciate that you reached out to me to submit something but I wasn't able to unfortunately.

I do feel bad about that because Vizzed has been a huge part of my life especially early on in the life of the site. I remember with fondness the fun we used to have back then. It's really too bad that the internet has changed so much that forums simply aren't as active as they used to be.

I enjoyed watching this video. Even though I've been inactive for awhile, I still have enjoyed being a part of this site. Thank you David for the memories you've helped myself and many others have over the years.

P.S. I feel bad for not being active for the last few months.

I know I was eager to put in my part in the video, but I had camera/webcam issues (which has been resolved), but I still had time, but then I was sick at the last few days of it, and I attempted to record, but I sounded extremely horrible in the video at a point that I end up deleting it.

I actually meant and still mean to reply to this, let this post serve as a reminder to myself. I also wish I could've been in the video, but my face tends to be a mess from issues with dry skin, and I just didn't get the time. That's too bad too, I'd probably be down for it now.

Wait, I think this counts as a proper reply now...

Happy Anniversary!

Kinda nice to know it's gone this long, while school prevented me from joining in on the video, I'm glad to at least still celebrate it!

I first joined Vizzed back around the start of 2013. At first, it was about the games that I played on the Java emulators. I never downloaded the RGR plugin until July 2014. I had a lot of concerns over doing that, but it was a last ditch effort to play the retro games from my childhood because many of the other sites I was playing on were being hit with copyright issues. I started posting reviews for many of these games in the fall of 2015. This was something I would become pretty passionate about and where I got into another interest besides video gaming, and that was writing.

Vizzed has provided me with another interest with the review writing and all. It has also given me an outlet to talk about personal issues in my life. This was something I didn't like to do, but I needed to. I did this back in April of 2018 when I had a nervous breakdown over money, my whole living situation, and the terrible relationship with my dad. It has also helped me with the other problems I had earlier this year in May. Facebook was terrible for that where I got no support, and the people that did comment on my posts were very mean and just plain disrespectful.

I don't like ranting about problems in my life. I like to get out and just live it. Part of that is the good retro games from the past. Many of them are games I never played growing up such as: Donkey Kong Country 2, Wario Land 4, etc. Unfortunately, there are some bad games I've come across on Vizzed that I've done rants about too. Super Mario Land 4 is one that comes to mind, which was a major disappointment. That was clearly not part of the Mario Land trilogy! In the future, I don't want to put personal stuff on Vizzed but instead use it for gaming or maybe help others going through similar things.

I just feel uncomfortable and weak putting my personal problems on the internet. I feel that way telling anybody about what I'm going through in real life too. Especially, when I feel they have it worse than I do. Vizzed was more about the games and me doing reviews and rants about these games. This is how I provide entertainment to other people and give back. I don't feel like I'm giving back when I keep talking about my problems, and Vizzed isn't about that for me. It's about the games and discussing the good ones and the ones that I don't enjoy so much as well. People love my rants, but I'd rather talk about positive things in the future and no more drama.

15 years eh? That's a significant amount of time indeed.

Anarchy,Craziness,Pointless Drama, Goofs, Memes, Dreams and much more i have witnessed during my time here.

Regardless of your opinion towards me i appreciate you all for enriching that experience, whether for good or for bad.

I hope you all enjoy the new year!

I missed this (but I saw it on Youtube).

I won't just copy and paste what I said there, but this place was once the single most important place I went to each day when I was a teenager.

There's been a lot of bumps. A lot of them. But I've become a significantly better person as a result of dealing with the fallout of all of them.
