Rayman Pirate-Community

Today, Pirate-Community just turned eighteen. While the Rayman franchise is in limbo, and the past year was marked by Michel Ancel's departure from the video game industry, the community is still active and productive, with a strong focus on fan games, reverse-engineering and tooling, and Pirate-Community is at the very center of it. Always providing fans with the best possible resources and discussion platforms, we've extended our coverage with the creation of a new Rayman speedrunning section, which hosted a successful contest in which the fastest runners won rare merchandise, and we've connected further with the rest of the community, as shown by our affiliation with the r/Rayman subreddit

Over the last year, 16,639 messages were posted on the forum, adding to a total of 1,353,334, while RayWiki, with 111 new articles, now boasts a total of 5,839 in 8 languages. RayTunes saw many additions to its already extensive coverage of Rayman music, with new tracks from seven games from Rayman Junior to Rayman Mini.

The Rayman 3 Hall of Fame was also brought back from the dead thanks to our members' expertise, and plans are underway to create one for Rayman Raving Rabbids.

Pirate-Community has reached the age of majority for most countries in the world now, which is an impressive achievement no one would have expected at the time of its creation, and we are more determined than ever to ensure it will still be around for an even longer period of time.

Long live Rayman, long live Pirate-Community!

So PC can legally drink now? Let's just hope this doesn't mean the counter gets drunk (as R4Y would say) on Record Day in a few weeks!

Happy Birthday PC!

Man, I can't believe this day's come already, it feels like the days have gone by really fast lately.

Anyways happy 18th birthday RPC!

Well said Hunch!
I may have only registered last year but I've actually watched the RPC grow for a whole decade! Makes me glad to have stepped out of the shadows to become a part of such a dedicated community full of talent and effort! I hope the RRR boards get here someday, I'd love to see if my scores could compare to the RPC's. I'm gonna feel sorry for my mouse when that happens!

Happy 18th B-Day, RPC! May you have many more!

Crazy to think that I joined RPC some time after the 16th birthday and now is year 18.

As always thanks to the people that keep the sites running.

Congratulations! Hope this community never stops growing

Congratulations, camrades and long live to RPC!

(Hell, yesterday I dunno about this anniversary, what I skipped. Anyway Rayman Fan Union collective and me congratulate all RPC members with "adulthood" of biggest RayFan community)

Happy 18th Birthday, Pirate-Community!

Happy birthday to the Pirate-Community!

Happy Birthday to the Rayman Pirate-Community, it's great to see it going healthy and strong after all these years. Hope for more awesome years to come!

Happy eighteenth birthday Rayman Pirate-Community! It's crazy to think it's been around for so long that even some members are younger than it.

Happy 18th Birthday to our Rayman Pirate-Community!

18 years? Now that's a quite a feat! Happy birthday RPC and thank you for keeping the Rayman community alive in those dark times of oblivion.

Happy Birthday, RPC. Between the wiki, the forum and the modding scene, this is one of the nicest, friendliest and most impressive communities I have ever had the honor to participate in.

Happy eighteenth, RPC! Anyone know the first instance of someone registering who was younger than the board itself? We used to talk about that...

We did, didn't we? I can think of several members who fit that criterion, but I've no idea who was first, or if they even posted anything…

I guess it would've happened about six years ago now.

Sounds about right!

I believe I joined the original RZ when I was 11, so it might have been even longer ago than that!

Sugar was 11 when he joined in 2014, but I think he was born a few months before the forum was created, so it was probably in 2015 like you said.
