General MAHQ Poll
General MAHQ Poll
With the 9th anniversary of MAHQ around the corner next week, I threw up this poll just to get an idea of how long people have been visiting the site.

Oh dear...it was still called FAHQ when I first found this site...but I can't remember exactly when.
What year did the name change and the general shift towards mecha take place?

REGENE: (Shakes head) Right then. Forgot we don’t talk on Planet You.

Suddenly, I feel very young. I was still in grade school back during th FAHQ years. Discovering MAHQ had to have been early '06, a couple months after finally giving in and becoming a Gundam fan. Never before or again was I, or ever would be, so adverse to watching an anime.Destroy Gundam wrote:Oh dear...it was still called FAHQ when I first found this site...but I can't remember exactly when.

When did MAHQ take over Mecha Domain's stuff? That was when I started to visit more often, though I found it sometimes before then but forgot about it.
Roketto Panchii (ロケットパンチ) My robot anime blog. Mostly review-ish about old robot shows, for now.
August of 2001. Oddly enough, that helps me narrow down when I started coming around these parts, as the mecha section was already in place. I guess I bumbled into (What was then known as) FAHQ around October/November of 2001...Mark064 wrote:When did MAHQ take over Mecha Domain's stuff?

Id don't remember when I first came. It was sometime long long ago when gundam was on Toonami. a Google (or maybe Yahoo hard to say) search landed me at this marvelous sight full of so much wonderful information and 'stuff'
Sadly though i forgot about it till a few years back when my anime interest returned with a vengeance. I came back to MAHQ and rediscovered it. (along with gunota which at the time I began checking every day.)
it wasn't until maybe a year or two later that I worked up the courage to join mechatalk.

I encountered MAHQ in one of my lurkings once long ago. It was before the new forums, can’t for the life of me remember when. I use MAHQ for information for a while then one day I clicked the forum link and it brought me to the forum more or less as it is today.
I’ve had a fun time ever since.

Aah the memories. I was still a young boy when I first stumbled upon this Holy Grail of a mecha database. It was 2002 and I was searching for information on my favorite series at the time, Wing and G Gundam. When I first came to this site, I was amazed by the amount of information there is about Gundam and browsed regularly ever since. Oddly enough, this site is was what made me a UC elitist for a couple of years. After seeing the rich and dynamic the Universal Century, I judged everything else by how much information and back story is provided.
Enough rambling.
tl;dr Discovered in 2002, became UC elitist in 2003 (when SEED was still airing) and grew out of that in 2006 when I re-watched G Gundam. EDIT: Oh right and I joined Mechatalk after extensive, extended lurking.

To the end of the GALAXY!!!!
Damn, why is this line so catchy?

I discovered the site around the end of '07. I had just finished simultaneously watching Gundam SEED and rewatching G Gundam, and thus became a fan of mecha anime in general. Since MAHQ was the first thing that poped up on google, I naturally clicked on it. After browsing through it, i found Gundamn!, and that led to my lurking in and eventual joining of Mecha Talk.
