Yeah, you could always claim that It's part of your religion, and no one will want to stop you.

Indeed, it would be really cool to have an "AGS Birthday" but... when would it be?

The day Adventure Creator v1.00 was released?
The day the first AC game was released?
The day AC became AGS?
Or the day Rob Blanc 1 was released?
???

I've been here 4 years or so now, and I've got a sneaky feeling we've missed AGS' fourth birthday, I could be wrong tho. I believe it's sometime between November - January.

I have decided that I approve greatly of this public holiday concept.

However with so many dates to choose from (Ac, Ac's first game, becoming AGS etc.) I say we take a day for EACH of them! It's only fair, and it's not showing favouritism to any one release.

Hmm... then "AGS birthday" would be 18 September 1999... guess it's when AGS v2 was released (when AC became AGS) - Is that it?

(AC) VERSION 1.00, FEBRUARY 1997 (exact date unknown)
(AGS) VERSION 2.00, September 1999 (exact date not marked either...)

EDIT: Right-o, teh announcement of AC2 was on 18th September:
