Trivia of the Week: Writing.com started on August 30, 2000. If you joined the site on the very first day and did one review every day since then, you'd have 7,307 reviews credited to your name. You'd also have 73 reviewing merit badges (one for every 100 reviews), and if you're a preferred author, 730,700 GPs just from daily log-in rewards alone!

20 YEARS
It's hard to believe that Writing.com has been in existence for 20 years. The site went live in the summer of the year 2000, when I was just starting my first semester of college. I didn't actually join the site until two and a half years later, but even in the time that I've been here, it's amazing to see how some things on the site have changed and others have stayed pretty much the same.
As everyone enjoys the 20th birthday festivities on the site this week, I thought it might be fun to take a trip down memory lane and remember some of the developments and evolutions the site has undergone over the past twenty years. And that's not even to mention all the people on the site, from those who spent years climbing the ranks to become moderators and senior moderators, to those who were moderators and senior moderators and left the site for a variety of reasons. There are amazing contests and activities that have come and gone.
If there's one thing I've learned over the 17+ years I've spent on this site, it's that there's always something new and exciting around the corner. Whether it's a new feature, or a creative activity, or week-long birthday celebration that unveils new emoticons, costumicons, skins, etc., there's always something worth checking out on this site.
With that in mind, enjoy the site's 20th birthday festivities!
Until next time,
Jeff
