; Hello World
Happy Birthday, Socoder.
For a website that was hastily cobbled together, you've not done so bad.
You're still vaguely stable, and other than the odd SQL-Server downtime, you've had a fairly decent run.
Many people would consider 8 years to be too long for a website, and would be desperate for a completely new site, and god knows you deserve a makeover..
But then..
You wouldn't be Socoder anymore.
The first site I built in PHP, home to wonderful oddball quirks like those damned poundsigns that had me stumped for months, and those magnificent little sidebars that I always miss when visiting other forums.
And you even keep me logged in, without having to click that damn "remember me" checkbox, EVERY DAMN TIME I VISIT!!
God bless you, Socoder.
You're one of a kind... Well, unless BlitzCoder was still around, then you'd just be a crappy clone site!!

; Movie Night
It's SoCoder's birthday, so let's all snuggle up and watch a movie.
Afr0's picked us a nice film, all about Bletchley Park and the great amount of work the guys and girls did there. Seems like it could be a good watch.
Grab your popcorn, folks!

; Music Site
Jayenkai figures it's probably time to hit the PHP, and build a new site to host all his music.
Actually, first he wondered if there was any premade thing to do it, but...
There never is!
8 years after cobbling together a forum, can Jayenkai make more PHP magic?

Eikon (who must've been lured in by all the birthday cake) has created a lovely little oldskool NES styled platform game.
Kickass!

; Oh, Nintendo...
What do you do when your console is lacking new games? Add an extra button, speed everything up to fragment the market and confuse consumers, and them relaunch as if there's no possible issues, whatsoever!

; Oh Microsoft...
What do you do when you've launched a new console, then NINE MONTHS LATER realise you've forgotten to launch it in Japan?
*sigh*
Oh, btw, the launch events were a total failure!! No surprise!!
