GTPlanet 2015 - The Year according to Us.

[Famine]

The most memorable part of 2015 for me were the ten seconds when I genuinely thought @Danny had been killed. You really should learn to not pitch your tent in designated Audi parking spaces.

The outside lane of a motorway? Well, there's your problem.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Surprised I got any mentions here since I don't really take part or get involved much, so I can't make too many either. For me 2015 had some very low low's and some very high high's - but as has been mentioned, I did meet some some GTP-ers along the way, @Clark at Le Mans and Donnington (albeit quite briefly), and I have to say I'm glad all the GTP-ers made it out of Le Mans alive! @Furinkazen and @paulmac2k9 were fun at Oulton, and pitching up unknowingly next to Paul at Knockhill was a laugh too.

Hope everyone has a good 2016.

 

[photonrider]

@photonrider, I'd just like to give you a huge thanks for the feedback you gave me in the writers thread. It really meant a lot and I was very surprised you had such good things to say!

You're very welcome. 👍 It was the truth.

@photonrider for some great tips on writing, now all I need is the motivation to start a story

Your life depends on it. Start with 'Once upon a time . . . ' and see where it gets you.

So great to see so many member names in here - people whose paths I may have crossed very rarely or people I've never heard of at all!
A Happy New Year to all of you, too - and here's hoping 2016 will bring us even closer together!

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Oh well peeps, this is probably going to be one of the more shorter reviews of a year in here.

So, this is my second full year on GTP since November 10th 2013, and I can honestly say that it's been a great one. It was the year I was the most active in (got me from about 250 posts at the beginning of 2015 and now I'm close to 700, #roadto1k m8s ) and I've read some good stuff this year. Although I've lost interest in GT6 because I'm fully prepped for Gran Turismo Sport, I still sometimes pop into the GT6 forums and have a good read. I also enjoy looking through the GT Sport / GT7 UI thread, the works of @Grandea GTR and @Scuderia Paul are freaking insane. Kudos to you guys for blowing my mind everytime you post a new piece of UI design. I've got some ideas flying 'round in my head, so be sure to see my design ideas there aswell!

I'm considering myself as a person who loves to speculate and going into rumors (if you know what I mean), and that's why I always love the threads when something new is rumored to come to a current or future GT game, you can get some good discussions to start there with you guys.

A forum I also visited quite a lot of times was the Need for Speed forum. I still remember how much hype there was when the first teaser trailer dropped. Also, the user creations in the "Show us your Rides" thread are somtimes very awesome. But there is one guy who does god-like paint jobs on some cars there, I forgot his name though. Sorry...

And now, to the people I've met here on the way. There really haven't been a lot, but I got to meet the two great guys named @lxmmy and @Niku Driver HC. Two awesome fellas, both great to talk to and really humble. And props to you @lxmmy for liking Dortmund, mate. Our Fifa match is coming sooner than you think my friend. My Aubameyang is waiting. And I almost forgot @nick98. Also, very good dude and always fun to talk to. And crap, I almost forgot another one (yeah I know DJ Khaled intensifies). @Bo, great dude. 👍

Anyway, that's my 2015 in GTP. I hope you guys have a great New Year's eve.

 

[nick98]

This year was full of surprises. Despite the loss of my PS3 at the end of July, I've recovered with an awesome PS4 with Driveclub and Need for Speed 2015. I also have to mention the time I've passed playing Forza Horizon 2 on my XB1, IMO the best racing game of these last years. Oh, and lest we forget the General Anime Thread! As of new acquaintances? Well, I have @TokoTurismo, @Niku Driver HC, @Heldenzeit, @MeanElf, @Populuxe Cowboy, @sems4arsenal, @Gr4ndy, @doblocruiser, @catamount39, @el fayce, @TayeezSA, @Not_A_Guest, @Nico_Ble99, @TS040, @lxmmy, @Brend, @AudiMan2011, @BayneHamlin1121, @Master Weasel, @ImaRobot, @FrzGT, @TeamCZRRacing @SVX and @UKMikey... The list goes on, I have made so many good friends here (oh, and @Hotman X 32 is a dude I've known earlier on in another website. How he found me here of all places is beyond me)! This community is awesome. I'll be celebrating this New Year on Driveclub with some of my friends here!

Merry 2016 to all you GTPlaneteers. Stay classy. 👍

And I almost forgot @nick98. Also, very good dude and always fun to talk to.

Thank you for the shout out!

 

[Nico_Ble99]

I'll be celebrating this New Year on Driveclub with some of my friends here!

I wish I could do some racing with you and the others aswell, but I don't know if I can, let's say, "apply" for it. I'll let you know, aight?

 

[nick98]

I wish I could do some racing with you and the others aswell, but I don't know if I can, let's say, "apply" for it. I'll let you know, aight?

December 31st, 3 PM (GMT +1). Is this schedule OK?

 

[Nico_Ble99]

December 31st, 3 PM (GMT +1). Is this schedule OK?

Close one. Might be still with family and friends then. Oh well, if it won't work for me, we can still race sometime. ^^

 

[lxmmy]

Thanks guys. @nick98 @Nico_Ble99

 

[Scuderia Paul]

... Although I've lost interest in GT6 because I'm fully prepped for Gran Turismo Sport, I still sometimes pop into the GT6 forums and have a good read. I also enjoy looking through the GT Sport / GT7 UI thread, the works of @Grandea GTR @Scuderia Paul are freaking insane.

...
Anyway, that's my 2015 in GTP. I hope you guys have a great New Year's Eve.

Thanks a million for the shout-out Nico. I really appreciate that. I intentionally took some time off from doing any GT UI work but through that period some ideas popped into my mind which I shall be starting soon.

I would like to see what you come up with. The more contributions we get the better, and the more we may be spurred on or inspired by another's work.

Happy New Year and all the best for 2016!

 

[titleguy1]

I know, I just lurk around the forums and you'll spot me every once in a while making a post, but I have a few people I'd like to mention. (No mentions. Just kidding.)

First off, I'd like to mention @Custom878 for not raging at me in GTA 5. That's a HUGE accomplishment.
Second, our lord and savior @Jordan for obvious reasons... One, of course, being the WHAMmassacre.
Third, @Nessy for your simply amazing drawings. I've taken lots of inspiration, so you just wait! (I'll get back to you on the Intuos soon.)

So, guys, to a new year! I wish you all well!

 

[nick98]

Close one. Might be still with family and friends then. Oh well, if it won't work for me, we can still race sometime. ^^

Kind of a shame... I'm however planning to keep the lobby up for at least 3 hours; there may still be a chance for you to join! Just send me a friend request over PSN and we'll see what I can do.

 

[G_Parrilla]

My tag game is weak, so I'm just going to mention:

• The Hajime Racers Club guys, our first year was full of great races!
• The photomode community guys, everyday the galleries are more awesome
• The WRS, VRR and TIRE guys, thanks for the good racing in GT6 and the b-spec series 👍
• The Fun Runs guys, gr8 banter
• @Jordan for Whamming! me.

Some tags maybe? I'm going to forget about half of the people
@KazaMR2 @TheNeos @GTRacer22 @Moon_k @nascarfan1400 @Angel @BayneHamlin1121 @vetteman24 @SVX @rallymorten @Ph1sher @MadMax @Michelin @Whitetail @AudiMan2011 @AJHG1000 @SolidSnake7735 @jackknife @ELmarcotuff @Obelisk @787bcgr @RCKakashi14 @Mattpro @Giulietta73 @Nato_777 @twitcher @Slender_Man
Yes, I didn't tag many people that I should have. Yes, I got bored of tagging. Oh, this is my 1000th post btw.

 

[Skython]

2014 was a fairly difficult year for me mentally, because after having the best year of school in my life in 2013, I was suddenly pushed into the real world. Now everyone goes through this, I'm not claiming my case is any different to someone else's. For me it wasn't until I left school that I realized I had no idea what the hell I was doing. And that essentially sums up 2014, and most students leaving school ever. So in comparison, 2015 has been a great year.

On GTP I've spent a long time not really fitting anywhere, and I wouldn't confirm I've found a sure footing even now. But participating in Fun Runs in the early stages of this year really helped me find some way to be relevant on this site. I've met a bunch of good people, and continued to grow my friendships I've already made here. On GTPlanet I participated in my first full season of online racing and ended up 2nd in the points (TIRE ECMT), joined the TIRE Admin team. I haven't posted very much, but I'm always around.

Whereas in real life I've improved on last year, I worked in an area I was better suited to, worked a lot more, and earned enough money to put a deposit on my very own Yamaha MT-07 (worth $11000 NZD, but I'm paying $9500). I've also continued writing music and playing music. I finally learned to play guitar properly, built my vocal technique to blend my different registers, and I wrote a lot. And yet I still have nothing to really show for it. The year has had some low points, but I don't feel the need to discuss them as they are more personal.

But anyway, the people are what make life worthwhile, so I can't forget them (even though I probably will forget to include them), so time for me to tag people.

@SVX: We finally met in person this year after knowing each other 4 years (nearly 5 now), so that was awesome. And we're just about best friends now, so that's even more awesome. And I just managed to write something about you that didn't involve any insults. I don't know if that counts for anything or not.

@vetteman24 : I can't do this without mentioning the Scirocco, so VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO!!! While your education takes quite a lot of your time, you've done great at directing TIRE. And I'm happy to be a part of it.

@nascarfan1400: You do a great job being an entertainer, and while you've had your ups and downs, you're a good person. And the fact that you started Fun Runs is so important because without that, I wouldn't have enough reason to make this post.
@BayneHamlin1121: I can honestly swear waifus have been insulted by you more than anyone else I've ever met.
@GTRacer22: You're a respectable driver, which commendable pace. And you're generally just a good person.
@GranTurismo916: You're a fairly rational and honest person. You're often a bit hard on yourself, but you're still a good guy.
@Formidable: You're a funny guy, and I can honestly swear you've been on GTP for longer than you have.
@Angel: You scare people who are far away enough to not have to worry, and while that is awful. It is also commendable.
@Nato_777: Your Flickr page is so good, and you've always been around on Flickr too. And that's always nice to see.
@FrzGT: Your posts on my profile are always a nice surprise.

I've probably forgotten people. I mean, it's excusable when your list has like 50 people, but mine doesn't... I'm just dumb. And reflecting back on this post... I take back what I said about my place, I'd say I'm quite sure footed here now.

Tl;DR: I complain a little bit about minuscule stuff. I complain a bit more, but then stop complaining and say it's perfectly fine, turns out my complaining was pointless. I'm recovering from the minuscule stuff that didn't matter anyway and now I'm adapting to the real world. Thank you people. Skython appears to not understand how TL;DR works. Please, Skython. Shut up.

Hi, Skython - I don't think any person just fits in everywhere - much like being plugged into different cells there are only so many phones you can connect with. I've always found your posts interesting - even to reread them occasionally because of the hidden 'music' in them. Retain that unique personality of yours - maybe blending in on occasion will be merely survival routines in sociability.

Whereas in real life I've improved on last year, I worked in an area I was better suited to, worked a lot more, and earned enough money to put a deposit on my very own Yamaha MT-07 (worth $11000 NZD, but I'm paying $9500). I've also continued writing music and playing music. I finally learned to play guitar properly, built my vocal technique to blend my different registers, and I wrote a lot. And yet I still have nothing to really show for it. The year has had some low points, but I don't feel the need to discuss them as they are more personal.

One thing to remember (if it helps lighten the load) is that we all face problems of one sort or another. This too shall pass.
Your music is what has driven you for years (we'll forget the bikes and ATVs for the moment ) and so that is what you must build on.

Tl;DR: I complain a little bit about minuscule stuff. I complain a bit more, but then stop complaining and say it's perfectly fine, turns out my complaining was pointless. I'm recovering from the minuscule stuff that didn't matter anyway and now I'm adapting to the real world. Thank you people. Skython appears to not understand how TL;DR works. Please, Skython. Shut up.

Stop entertaining yourself!
This is a good time for me to wish you a very Happy New Year, Skython, and may you be your very best in the coming year. A good time for me to holler out to @SVX - Hiya, Josh - Have a good one, bud - need I say more? Okay - a very Happy New Year to you and that other kiwi I hang out with (but whom I haven't seen for some time) - @Korza - Happy New Year to you, too - hope you are doing well, and hope to catch up with you more often in 2016.

 

[kikie]

Your thread @photonrider is going well.

 

[C-ZETA]

On an external level, 2015 is unquestionably the best year I've had. My A-Levels were rather average, but I've done so, so much and it's all been so so good. Mostly on the level of going to so many different events. The week when I went to the best party I've had, went to Goodwood (thanks to GTP!!) and both Formula E races in four days was the best week of my life. And there've been plenty of United games, NFL at Wembley and the Race of Champions to enjoy among other things too.

On an internal level I was doing fine until the latter half of the year. I was still happy at heart but the fact I couldn't do what I enjoy doing most - writing - was annoying. Plus I was in limbo until the start of December, when I got a Christmas temp job, which I've been kept on till the end of January, and I'm totally fine with that now. But now, thanks to a little something right at the end - my Forza 6 reviews (not even a shameless plug I swear), I'm ready to write like mad, and hopefully I can do that from the start of this year till the end. The last time I was this good to go...was last year, actually, except that ended up becoming the start of my writer's block. No such thing happening this time though.

Since most of my friends are off at uni 2016 isn't going to have anything on that level. But I bet there'll still be plenty I'll be going to in 2016, which is still great. And now, I have the chance to make 2016 the best year I've had...on the inside. It's very exciting!

 

[photonrider]

Your thread @photonrider is going well.

I don't consider a single thread here as mine, Kikie - except for two - my Gallery thread in the Photography forum (sadly neglected for years) and my Intro thread in the Introduction Forums - which I use to mark highlights such as yearly anniversaries.
This thread - especially - isn't mine - it has been ours right from the start, all of us here who took time to contribute, from whatever status we came from, whether member, staff, new or old, man or woman, older person or teen, to express our experiences at the site over the last year, and give attention to those who filled those experiences with what benefited us and to use that opportunity of all coming together to wish each other Peace, Goodwill, and all Prosperity in the New Year.
As for going well . . . yes, it most definitely is - and a reflection of my faith in this community.

Ah! So that's where you were hiding. In the Forza columns! How long have you been a Forzite? This is a loss to the Gran Turismites.
I didn't get much of a chance to read you this year - though you well know I used to haunt your GT Review threads of yore - nail-on-the-head reviews spiced with an uncanny sense of humour.

Thanks for dropping in and assuring some of us that you're still alive. 👍

Happy New Year, @C-ZETA - have a really good one.

Ooh, about a week. I'm absolutely not picking sides in the racing war - much as I follow the concept of rivalry with some of my most beloved things (sports, other games etc.) I don't care about racing games, because anything's good in my book as long as I can drive as many cars as I like. Forza 6 does that job perfectly and convinced me to make the next gen jump. Took a while longer than I thought - I wanted it as soon as it came out, but didn't buy it or the Xbox till Black Friday and had to wait to get it as a Christmas present. Still, it's been so worth it.
Thanks very much, and I like to think I'm not ever seen as dead. I'm just a little invisible sometimes. That's why I didn't make my own 10k post thing (just posted in the 'Who do you want to meet most from here' thread), I reckoned no one would notice it.

Also since I somehow missed it in the original post I'll make mention of the mad Reading Festival which I went to in late August where I saw three of my four favourite music acts. That was remarkable.

 

[ildd]

Holy cinnamon infused nipples, this year has absolutely flew by. I've learned a whole lot about life this year. First, I'd like to give a shout out to my homie LJK827, who passed away on January 20th of this year. But hey, knowing he's scattered all across the U.S. by now, he's living our dream, man. We were gonna go places.

Second, I'd like to give the real MVP's a shoutout. @Doog, @Davis, @Katiegan, @Zyla, @Vince, @xXKingJoshXx, @SVX, and I guessss @Doodle. I don't know what this year woulda been like without ya'll. We all went on our own adventures this year, maybe next year we can all do one together. June 21st-June 26th, Colorado Springs maybe? Almost all of us got a 'new' car this year too, haha. Some of us, two of them. Ryan, Davis and Vince, staying up until 4am playing GTAV has been a blast and I want to keep it that way. Literally. Tomorrow night let's blow up like 667 cars with a single grenade. Hell, I'll buy it. Ben, Katie and short Josh, hopefully you'll be able to join us next year. Tall Josh, keep doin you man. Keep us up to date with all of your animals. I want naming rights for one of your next ones

Katie, since you gave my an S/O, guess i'll respond- trust me, I didn't mind it at all, haha. I apologize for the 2 or three typo's I made I think it was good for both of us, honestly. And @Ken, man, It's been one hell of a year for you. Emphasis on the hell. But it's finally here- 2016. It'll be different. It'll be better. If you've made it through that, not a brick wall full of barbed wire and anacondas and tarantulas can stop you from climbing that wall. You got this.

Next i'd like to give a shout to @Slash and @ilikewaffles11. Angelo, I know you've had a fairly rough year too, but 2016 holds new life. Hey, did I tell you I finally got a gun? Jacob, keep doing what you've been doing. You're on a good track. I'll keep you guys in mind when i'm(...we're) browsing craigslist at 3 in the morning Maybe both of us can get our Miatas fixed up, lmao... keep me up to date on the Celica and the Supra!

@Cale bruh, let me know if you're ever in Galveston/Houston. Thanks for all the laughs this year. Keep surviving at work.

mini shoutout to the youngins @ProjectWHaT, @GranTurismo916, @Dagger311, @sparkytooth, @thestigfarmer. You guys are kinda funny and stuff

shoutout to @playnthru even though it should be a shootout since he didn't sell me his perfect GTO. And @cmbeal317 and @jeffgoddin. Nice job on all the car spotting this year! Sorry I kinda stopped paying attention to the DYSAGT thread- I have you guys on flickr though and that's basically the same thing, right?

And finally, a shout out to the boyz running this site.

everyone

 

[JohnBM01]

I've been on GTPlanet since December 2003. I have seen a number of people come and go. I have my good mates (or at least whom I deem as good buddies on GTP) and my share of haters. Even still, each year on here is memorable in their own ways. Among other memories...

* I honor being on here with many good mates such as @Brett , @Earth , @AMPMROCKETFANN , @FoolKiller , @BKGlover , @Dolph Drago , our leader @Jordan , and of course... the great @RACECAR . It was also great tagging along with various others ranging from @Omnis , @AnthonyD1993 , @BobK , @McLaren , @niky , @Mike Rotch , and various others.

* This was the first year I got to follow (to an extent) the fantasy race series featuring NR2003 and GTR2. I thought it was cool how everything was set up. I have to salute folks like @NASCARfan for the fine commentary in videos. I even found it cool to follow @Angel also, whom I have come across in watching the videos. Not sure what it was, but it was either one of the GTR2 videos from Spa-Franorchamps or Bahrain which were just nuts with all the crashing and stuff. Another salute to RACECAR for the on-point car art.

* I found it great to follow the likes of @RedDragon and @Mike458 this year.

* A personal sort of thing for me this year was to see the Depression Thread still going. Though I been around so long on GTP, I forgot I was the one who created that thread. I always believed in offering threads and topics that last. Surely something like depression is something worth discussing in trying to help others deal in a tough situation.

* Earlier this month, I joined the author ranks by publishing my first eBook. And of course, I shared my work with the fine GTPlaneteers of GTPlanet.


None of this tagging and referencing is name dropping if it all doesn't make sense. I really do try to find the good in others, and I am always pleased to be around a great number of people from all over the world. I consider all of my friends worldwide as my extended international family. That even includes the fine folks of GTPlanet. I am not sure how much longer I'll be living or how much longer GTPlanet will exist. Even still, I look forward to each new year as more opportunities to enjoy this site and its many wonderful people.

Everyone please have an amazing 2016. Thank you for the memories I've had so far, and for future memories I hope to enjoy for 2016.

 

[Bo]

I'll see how much I can write for this.

2015 was probably my best all-round GTP year, but it still wasn't brilliant.

I'd like to thank @Furinkazen for running the best online racing group on GT6, and to everyone who I had the opportunity to race against during my PS3 FRL days. I may have had to wind down my participation towards the end, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

In a similar vein, I'd like to thank @nascarfan1400 for hosting Fun Runs - I'd also like to thank everyone else who participated, and made it such a fun experience.

I'd also like to mention some of the people that mean a lot to me on GTP: @GTracer98, @GTRacer22, @GranTurismo916, @jus1029, @Mike458, @sparkytooth, @Vince, @Legro, @Michelin, @Slash, @Ken and countless others. They are the ones that make GTP a truly special place for me.

In terms of having just generally cool people to chat to, @Daniel, @TenEightyOne, @Katiegan, @C_R5_575TLR, @SVX, @BayneHamlin1121, @The Stig Farmer, @ImaRobot, @Akira Ishi, @NLxAROSA, @RedDragon, @ProjectWHaT, @Dagger311, @cmbeal317 and @Sonygamer455 are always there. Truth be told, I think virtually everyone on GTP is a nice enough character to have a chat with - and you can't say that about too many forums.

A special shout to @Jordan, and all the mods, for keeping the place spick and span. This is by far the best community on the internet, hands down.

As a final note, I know I'm not liked by quite a few around here. I know I probably don't have the best of reputations - but I would genuinely like to change that in 2016. I want to be a better member of the community - in my relatively short time on GTP so far, I don't think my massive post count has actually contributed to all that much meaningful discussion. For those that are able to put up with me, I thank your for your patience - GTP is my home from home, and every single member here makes it a special place to be.

 

[Daniel]

I'd like to give a special shout-out to @Daniel. He's a great person and without him I wouldn't be here today.

 

[Ken]

I'd like to give a special shout-out to @Daniel. He's a great person and without him I wouldn't be here today.

Goofball.

 

[Cale]

@Cale bruh, let me know if you're ever in Galveston/Houston. Thanks for all the laughs this year. Keep surviving at work.

Dude absolutely. My dad keeps saying her wants to fly me out in 2016 so we'll see what happens.

 

[RACECAR]

Well its been an interesting year and while I haven't done a lot, there are some people that I got to know this year and am glad to have do so:

@Angel : Had never seen or heard of her before but right off, I just felt she was going to be a cool person to know and frankly, it'll be impossible to disprove otherwise. After doing a special paint scheme for her and learning the meaning behind it, I had even more respect for her . I don't consider myself the best painter (and forgive me if this sounds overly cliche), but that paint scheme is probably going to stick with me for the rest of my life purely due to the strength of the great person that requested it.
@KuniKino****a : Been great getting to know her as well. Admittingly, her interaction with @Angel tends to be something I look forward to because I know it'll be just magical.
@Smurfybug : If @nascarfan1400 is the hyperactive kid who can't stay in one place and @Jahgee is the kid who just says the strangest things, then this guy is the kid that you tell not to push the big red button only to do so while looking you dead in the face and smiling (mostly with a Clarkson-esque smirk). You are something else, kid
@GTRacer22: Cool person to know from the GTPFS and its a blast talking to him and painting his cars.
@catamount39 : As far as I can work out, this guy is either on a sugar rush of epic proportions or has an excitement level stuck on "DAMN!!". Either way, great person.

And shoutout to all these kind folk:

Of all the years I've been on GTP, 2015 was the my least active. As I've mostly been busy with GTA V, S-Tuner and, more importantly, senior high and college entrance tests, my GT6 copy is collecting dust. Still, along the way, I got to meet yet more people in the Photomode, GTA, S-Tuner and banter community and strengthened my friendship with the friends I've already liked.

However, at the same time, I felt left out like I am in real life. Alright, I won't gloss over that because this ain't The Depression Thread!

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful 2016!

Special shoutouts: @GTracer98 @GTRacer22 @The Stig Farmer @SVX @Skython @20832 @Pebb

...and @Jordan for giving me a heart attack by calling the Whambulance!

...and, who can I forget, @Bo.

I wouldn't say you are a stranger at all - that's quite a familiar avatar. And as long as there is someone over in any thread to give you a like or listen to your woes, then GTPlanet is the one place you aren't going to feel left out.

Happy New Year, mate!
