Happy 9th Siftiversary
Well, here we are again, 9 years down the track. Maybe we're not quite the big deal we were in previous years, but ... we're still here! The reason we're still here is because VideoSift is run a by a bunch of maniacal, (maybe slightly OCD?) but wonderful people who make this place a living breathing community.
I know my touch has been a bit light over the last couple of years, but I do come by every day to check-in. VideoSift is a touchstone for me– it's the site that I measure all other websites by. Thanks to all the Sifters who make this what is still the best community on the web and my Internet home.

lucky760Incredible. Unbelievable.
These last 9 years have flown by. VideoSift feels like it's always been a part of my life.
Even though my life is crazy hectic now with work and two kids, I still stop by throughout the day every day, and I'm deeply, madly in love with everyone else who does the same.
...
Now stop gawking and make out with me already would ya.
Happy Siftiversary!
brycewi19Here's to a place that has helped me waste precious time for the better part of at least seven of those years!
OverLordSo, very, long.
BoneRemakeMake sure to chew your food properly before you swallow. Your teeth play a HUGE part in digestive health.

rbeckettCongrats!... been a member for 2735 days.. and figured I'd better make a comment
Might not have contributed anything but votes... but I've visited the site nearly every day! Good work on filtering the best of the best of the most interesting videos on the innernet!
ZifnabIt's hard to believe it's been nine years of *quality, happy siftiversary! Been here for over eight and a half years myself. I'm not nearly as active on the sift as I used to be, but I still feel like the sift is home and still visit regularly. Looking forward to the next nine!
siftbotAwarding dag with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by Zifnab.
SagemindCongrats to the community for making this a fun place to hang out, debate ideas, and learn a little while we're killing time.
phoeniciansailorThanks for the tireless work. VideoSift is one of my few remaining bookmarks, and has been part of my daily routine for years.
my15minuteshappy birthday, @siftbot
here's your card.
seems like yesterday you got your gold star.
our juvenile spree on your comments was fun,
but don't worry - you earned every upvote a hundredfold.
you're a whole lot of *quality, and just the right sprinkling of *wtf
love,

KrupoBarely a year younger than youtube itself.
Great work all around, glad to see things rolling along wonderfully after all this time.
messengerI've been active to varying degrees over those years. Sift was the closest thing I had to a familiar home while I was living abroad for 4 years. Thanks for that.

Weird isn't it how time gets compressed with distance? When we first started VideoSift, I would have said the YouTube began ages before us.

gwiz665Congrats all around. 9 years is an impressive lifetime for a web community.
newtboyCongratulations!... and thanks to the entire community for being worth wasting so much of my time and getting me into so many 'enthusiastic' debates.

blackfox42I've been a long time lurker (found this place courtesy of Blues News) but have only just decided within the last year to finally sign up. Wish I'd done it sooner!
antWow. That is impressive. VS needs to get big as YT.

antYou can blame me for that. VS would be gone if not linked by Blue and me.
