And there are still new (and old) games to do that were never TASed. We have fuel for the future ^^.

Holy crap, yeah. I remember watching Morimoto's SMB3 run back in college. It's, uh, it's been awhile since then. ...now I feel old.

I know, doesn't seem that long ago I was laughing uncontrollably at some of the videos from the site's early days...

I've been around for nine of those ten years. This site has been involved in roughly one third of my entire life. This is unreal for me.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

This question might have been raised on any n-th anniversary already: What makes this day special in the history of TASVideos (i.e. how did you choose this day to be its origin ten years ago)?
All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.

I see no reason for that... The site was already up 6th December 2003.

Today was the day I came back from travelling in Baltic countries. I could not post earlier, unless much earlier. I posted now, because I saw nobody else had done so. I would place the birthday of the site anywhere within the latest 30 20 days, and no later than 19 December 2003.

10 years huh? And to think, it all started with that SMB3 video of Morimoto beating it in 11 minutes. Now we've shaved over 30 seconds off that time, and there are thousands of these videos around. Although very few movies have fascinated me like the original did so long ago, these movies are still a reliable source of entertainment and nostalgia, 10 years on. I've never been a prolific TASer, not by any means, and all of my ancient runs (except for 1!) have been obsoleted long ago, but I do still watch runs of games that interest me, and do certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into them. Thank you to Bisqwit for starting this site, adelikat, Nach, feos, FractalFusion, and Ilari for taking over and expanding it, and to everyone else who contributes. You all have my gratitude. Now I'll go back to lurking :D

Excellent! And with a site like this, you just know it has somehow crammed 11+ years of existence into 10 years of real time.

Same here, except it was in high school. I think I may have seen it on eBaum's World, so at least something good came from my time on that site.

It applies to nesvideos+TASVideos. The site has only had this name (and domain name) for a little over 7 years according to the Wiki: SiteHistory. It's great that this site has been around 10 years! I feel like there'll be even more runners and runs over the next 10 (this site is always growing in popularity).

Who cares? Nobody knows what day Jesus was born but people all round the world are preparing to celebrate His notional birthday anyway. Having been here only a month (though I lurked for about a year beforehand), I feel very young indeed. Oh, and massive congrats. It's quite amazing how much has been done in the last ten years, something new seems to come along maybe every year or so that totally reinvents what TASing means.
