AfterDawn's 16th birthday

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 10 Jun 2015 10:57 User comments (7)

Wow. Another year has passed and we're celebrating our site's 16th birthday today. I still remember our first years: a site strictly focused on digital multimedia, i.e. MP3 technology and DVD tech. As technologies have evolved, so has our site and its content.

I would like to simply thank all of our staff members, moderators and users for keeping this site alive for all these years. I expect more equally great years to follow.

Thank you!

P.S. For the "this gets asked every year" question: here's the oldest screenshot of our site that we know of, from Summer of 1999:

I've been around for quite a while. This place helped me to learn the basics of online media. Things like codecs and video basics like cropping and all the fundamentals we now all take for granted.
Thanks in large part to Afterdawn.
You guys should be very proud.
