On December 13th, 2011, at 9:00PM, I was browsing online and had GTW open in one of my tabs. Just to check in before I logged off for the night, I flipped over to Gran Turismo Wiki's tab and refreshed the page. What I saw next caught me completely off-guard: Gran Turismo Wiki now had 501 articles. I nearly fell out of my chair.

With 500 aricles, we now have joined some truly elite company, becoming only the fourth racing game wiki in Wikia history to have 500+ articles, joining the ranks of Burnout Wiki, Carmageddon Wiki and Need for Speed Wiki. No matter how long the wiki survives, the creation of our 500th article (GT5 Transcripts/Nissan 350Z) will be remembered as one of the most important events in GTW history.

On behalf of Gran Turismo Wiki, I would like to personally thank every last one of you who has contributed to this great site over the years. It has been an amazing experience to watch the wiki grow. And you know what? We're not done yet; the best is still ahead. Four years after the fact, it still rings true, what Exlonox said all those long years ago, during our 50th article celebration: You are a wiki destined for great things.

Thank you all - you have been the best community a wiki founder could ever ask for, and it is due to your contributions that this wiki is where it is - and what it is - today.

Wow. Sitting behind my desk in May '08, submitting the approval request for this wiki to Wikia, I honestly never thought I'd be saving this edit. But then you proved to be a runaway success, and here I am, struck speechless even as I'm typing this. Looking back, I never should have doubted you for a second, what with the number of trials you've been through over the years, and the way you've pulled through all of them with flying colors. For that I am eternally grateful. --Gp 75 motorsports  REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN   03:35, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

"Presents" (new pages, templates, etc)
Like I keep saying, you've been such a gift to me that repayment would be impossible. I guess the best thing I could give you is the new main page we've been working on for a month. How's that? :D --Gp 75 motorsports  REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN   03:35, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
