Not so sure about the 10 years. Everything has a life span.
Ngu has been around for a long time. And almost got shut down when it started with the cost being high for outsider; and over time the forum grew and I remeber when it was always something to watch as the monthly donations went from 0- to being what the goal donation was. Each month there were donations pouring in and we had over 100 users in the shoutbox. Ngu was thriving then. I loved it here. And slowly as I had stepped away; I had returned years later to seeing maybe 10-20 in the shoutbox and not as many people on as the old days.
Why? Well the site has got changed over time and people don't really like change. But we as members of ngu; we can make sure the site lives and breathes. We can post good content on youtibe and advertise the site. (Dijitalgodzz world record with a ngu intro had got him an additional 30k views if you don't believe me there.)
So how long? The site could be around for as long as we the members want it to be. At this rate 10 years is a long shot. But if we pull it together; the site could live on.
Haha yea I can see you've been here for awhile now, since 2009. Though I do think NGU is sort of like the economy, you always need something need to boost it, such as new technology etc. Though on here we need new members, new content, and especially a new break through such as something to do with the next gen modding and even something big for ps3 such as OFW CFW.
