Happy Burstday!
Yaaaaaay! :) Happy birthday forumites!
Cripes... That long. It is a testament that it's still standing after all this time. You do an amazing job Hicks doing everything you do here. Same to Ridgetop and Xenomorphine. Without you two, there'd be no podcast at all.
And I still love that neon style font.
Another year older, another year wiser. I'm looking forward to your next birthday! ;)
16 years eh. That settles it. The site is immortal. There's nothing that can kill it. Not even Alien 3.
Happy birthday AVPG.
Thanks all! We've had great staff and community over the years. I'm proud of the work we've all done!

Went through the site history and noticed that font, tracked it down for this pic, if it is indeed the same one. And thanks! Happy to be a part of the podcast.
I really do love that logo too. I know we've used it once or twice but I think I prefer it to the normal text one.
The forum ones?
Yes.
We got any different ones?
Just the existing handful. It'd be nice to get some updated ones but I don't know how much hard-work that actually is. I'm hands-off on the technical stuff.
I only see the one.

It should say Current Theme at the top of that page. Click change and you'll be able to pick from them.
The top thing is "current smiley set" for me.
Themes aren't available for newish members as they were being phased out as of a couple of years ago. They're still there for old timers who haven't made the switch.
Didn't realise this site was born out of pre-hype for the release of AVP-2 on the PC in 2002.
Amazing game, in fact by coincidence I am playing it online while house sitting at the weekend.
One question about this site. Considering the sporadic nature of the franchises- with a considerable amount of activity based on nostalgia- how did the admin know it was worth renewing domains and hosting fees.
Ok from 2004-2007 we had AVP and AVP-R. Then we had between 2008-2018. AVP-R (home media- 2008), PREDATORS (2010), Aliens vs predator the Game (2010) PROMETHEUS (2012), ALIENS- COLONIAL MARINES (2013), ALIEN ISOLATION (2014), News of a (now stalled) ALIEN 5 by Neil Blomkamp (2015), ALIEN Covenant (2017), THE PREDATOR (2018).
Now I think about it, typing that, I guess a crystal ball wasn't required after all!

So I have to look at the Resurrection Alien for all time? Ugh.
That's based on the first Alien, I believe.
The one on the sidebar, the left definitely isn't.

It's Fan Art, but yeah seems based on the Resurrection Alien:

We've been looking into some aesthetic updates.
The Covenant Aliens need some love or dare I say... the neomorph and or Deacon.
Nice one, AvPG!
Happy Birthday. You all are incredible, dedicated people. I felt welcome immediately after signing up. I hope this site stays running for years and years to come.
Hard to believe that this site is 16 years old. It's even harder for me to believe that I spent quite a few of those years lurking on this lovely site before I finally manned up and joined.

I never noticed that feature. Decided to try the Giger theme, looks great.

I would love a theme based around the games, mainly AVP2.

Me too, but in my case it was first for not knowing there was a forum, I only looked at the articles and news, then for not understanding english very well.
I didn't want to bring it up but it has been 6 days already, where's the games, booze and hanky panky?
