Gamedev.net ist one of my favorite Links. You''re doing a really good job. I enjoy reading your interesting articles and the community is very helpfull (forum, etc.).
If I ''ve a problem I post question in it and get answers mostly very fast. That''s fantastic.
I hope you''ll keep up your great work - otherwise I would miss something.

Well, I''m not sure how I originally found GameDev.net, but I can tell you the things that your site has been responsible for (a listeral list is as good as I can do, I''m not much of an author 
):
"Finger to spiritual emptiness underlying everything." -- How a C manual referred to a "pointer to void." --Things People Said
http://druidgames.cjb.net/
):- OpenGL (Jeff''s Tutorials)
- WinSock 2 and Some info. on writing multiplayer games
- How to better manage large projects in C/C++
- A good reference to help newbie programmers get into game programming (I knew C/C++ before I came here though)
- A chance to hear about news related to the gaming industry (as much from other users as from your own main page posts)
- (Refering to the last) A chance to hear what other people think about them
- A place where I can put my "Resist Windows XP" banner that lots of people see
- Many hours of browsing and responding on the message boards, and much more that I''m sure I am forgetting

I''ve been here for quite a while, just not a very active member of the community. (not much free time).
I remember seeing many of the founding people here posting on the GameProgramming Mega Site, and then later on Sweet.Oblivion.
The biggest thing this site has done has kept me inspired. I enjoy reading over the message boards and seeing what other people are doing/working on and it keeps the urge to program in me when I''m stuck on something tough or just want to take a break.

Yes, the GameDev.net website is the first from my favorite links to news and other things related to games industry and programming. Firstly, I want to thank the developers of this site for it''s unlimited help to other people and me, the OpenGL and other inherited sites are the best resource of information that can be found on the web. Secondly... Oh, well.. You already know it..
KEEP UP WITH GOOD NEWS !!!
KEEP UP WITH GOOD NEWS !!!
lets put it this way before I found this site the only resources I could find were on DOS ModeX programming.

Hi All,
I''m gonna keep it simple...
Basically GameDev for me (and others i''m sure) is what water would be to a desert.
Thanks to EVERYONE who has helped me in the passed 2 years.

The discussion on the GDNet forums has really challenged me to improve my knowledge about C++! My code is obviously MUCH better than it was before I came here.
I think I can speak for everyone on the forums when I say that helping people is a learning experience in itself. There are lots of programmers with differing levels of knowledge and it is fun to see them interact. The entire game development community profits by voluntarily sharing knowledge. I don''t have any friends in my offline community who are interested in game development or programming, so this site is also my only source of conversation about it.
Hat''s off to GDNet - The World''s Best Game Development Site!
