9 years using TGC products for me. Not yet 10 but very close
I've recently revisited my 2012 3d thread and some projects from 2009 to 2013. I believe these years was really my "prime" in terms of trying to make games. Nowadays the overall time I spend on my computer and developing stuff at all is merely a fraction of what it was in that time range yet... oddly enough, when I glance through my old stuff I have very clear memories of the thought and creative process behind it and it feels more as if it was a couple months ago.
It feels a lot as if tomorrow I'll be 25, the day after tomorrow 30, next week I'm married and have children, then I'll bury my parents, then my kids will move out and if I live that long will have a few more decades...3 to 4 concidering my ancestors...in retirment and do some gardening and then I'll be dead. The memory of me will be lost in oblivion or, if I happen to become a famous writer or such thing there will remain an idealised carricature of my character...either way not much more in this world.
The point being no attempt at highschool-level philosophy but the notion that our life is ending one moment at a time and that simple things as a forum where we share iterations of our hobby together shows it to us more than a mirror does.

Me too!! I didn't even have any notion of the english language when I first joined.

Would be cool! Anyone who jouned 10 years ago should have a badge with a little walking-cane in it.
