I need help, I want your bright ideas on how to celebrate running this corner if the web for seven years. The official GOL birthday is the 5th of July.

The oldest news available on this current form on GOL is from 2010. Don't you love how informative I was back then ;). Older news didn't make the cut to the two sites we had before this final one.

For our sixth birthday we did a Don't Starve Together livestream (see the pic here) where we all died in the end and it was quite funny. This time, I want something bigger.

I still find it funny the moment I let our original web address (gamingonlinux.info) expire some gambling company purchased it almost immediately.

Here's to hoping I am still here in another seven years!

Here's to you, the awesome readers who always tell me when I am doing something stupid (keep giving the awesome feedback you always give me!).

Special mention to Levi who keeps the server configured so I don't have to think about that side of it, we wouldn't be here without him.

Finally, here's to the editors past and present for helping me on this journey.

I have to say I'm impressed with the community we have here. I almost never get reports of users being terrible to each other and the comments in general are usually informative and helpful. Keep being awesome you guys!

It's also my own birthday next month, someone save me from old age.

Oh yeah, why was I writing this early? Give me ideas on how to celebrate GOL being around for another year! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

A few days of multiplayer community livestreams? I'm up for some strategy games if anyone else is :D

GOL is awesome, at this point it's sort of the backbone of the Linux gaming community so let's hope it keeps going for another 7!

Something would certainly be bigger. This will simultaneously test just how dedicated a gamer Liam is.
