So, this almost slipped by, but we just had a very important anniversary! On July 31, 2006, I submitted our very first entry, which was the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.

http://vgmdb.net/album/3

You may notice that our lowest album entry has ID number 3, so it technically wasn't the first. Entries 1 and 2 were test submissions, something along the lines of title: "Test", catalog number: "Test", and we deleted those once things were working. Kind of amazing that the third submission was good enough to keep.

We've come a long way in 10 years, and our focus has broadened, but this entry represents everything that got us into this hobby. (On a personal note, I listened to the PC version of the FF7 soundtrack on continuous loop while I wrote my PhD dissertation, so I am pleased that it is our first.) Of course, we didn't launch as VGMdb audio until more than a year after that, but it is still our earliest footprint apart from a Word document I wrote in June 2005.

For reaching this this point, I'd like to thank fellow admins Gigablah and Miles, Mercarios (for allowing us to get started as Gamingforce Audio), other site owners such as Chudah and Mik who pioneered some of the concepts that were used here on VGMdb, all of our devoted staff former and present, and all of the editors who perform the bulk of the submission and original research here, and really anyone else that I have forgotten. You guys are amazing. Thanks for 10 years, and there are many more to come.

ready for another decade?

Congratulations!
Time sure does fly. I don't even bother with this anniversary stuff for any of my sites even though I'm adamant keeping them online forever.

Ah, i thought it started in 2007 looking at our earliest "join dates", but the website is even older
Thanks to everyone working on the website and thanks to all the contributors.

I am happy to see such in depth research. I always thought I was the only one building up a library of trivial collections, artists, and information. Maybe I can focus on digging deeper into every album out there.

Happy Birthday

Submit an album even before "born", technically from the join date.
Congratulation!
Time sure does fly.

Congrats to the VGMdb staff!

"I listened to the PC version of the FF7 soundtrack on continuous loop while I wrote my PhD dissertation"

Why would you do that to yourself? Damn.

So glad this site is still running! I may not be an active poster or contributor any more, but I still use this site all the time~ Great work, everybody! =}

Congrats to the broader team, and happy anniversary! I rely on VGMdb so much - I'm so very glad it exists.

This is pretty much the only place to find translated info for probably thousands of albums, many of which I own and needed said info.
So yeah.

Congratulations!
I use this site daily and will continue to do so.

10 years since this started some members have passed away and many more have joined, Boyblunder I know was quite ill some time ago hope nothing but the best for you buddy!

Amazing how I came here for a download link of Metroid Prime Soundtrack and got hooked to be a curator to this Museum

I cleaned up my room a bit today and found my tickets for the 2006 opening concert of the GC (Games Convention, in Leipzig). It's a weird feeling, knowing that this all was 10 years ago now...

A bit late, but Happy Birthday vgmdb!

Even later but Happy Belated Birthday VGMDB! I don't visit as often as I used to, but I appreciate all the knowledge stored in this site!

Congrats! Long life to VGMDB!!

I just stumbled upon this site. I cannot believe how this went under my radar for a decade.
Late, but wishing you a Happy Birthday! I'm hoping for at least another decade!

This is among the sites that I go to often, as I have always loved video game soundtracks! Happy Anniversary!

Yes! Forgot about that! Happy Anniversary!
