This is quite odd. The video thumbnail is not shown in your post, but only a link in text form. But this quote of your post above shows the thumbnail too, in preview mode at least.
Edit: It shows in my post after publishing, too.

Many congratulations on reaching your 10th anniversary. I have also been here since the Kickstarter, when my husband (Wrongway) alerted me to it at the time. I had often watched him play in previous years and was very excited to find out about Elite: Dangerous. We each backed the game to Alpha access level. I've stayed throughout the 10 years and never intend to leave.
It was great to hear mentions of my two favourite groups in the video, within a few minutes of each other - The Fuel Rats and The Hutton Truckers - being a member of both!
As an 'older' player (71), I hope to be around for many more years of Elite in the future.
o7 and For The Mug!

Hmm.. forum bot malfunction?

The copyright notice is still "1984-2022"... @Paul_Crowther
I totally agree; some people need to get a life and worry about more important things!
Happy 10th Anniversary Elite: Dangerous! I first backed this game, as an original C64 player through to Frontier on the Amiga, and I have never felt better with that choice, especially compared backing the other game lol.
It's seen me through good and bad times, and never has a quote rang more true that Elite is the "Game of a Lifetime".
Massive thanks and respect to David Braben and Ian Bell for the original concept, but especially David Braben for having the vision and will to take it this far and hopefully even further still. Elite: Dangerous really is the fulfillment of what I imagined while playing Elite on the C64.
Here's to another ten years when hopefully we can all celebrate Elite's Golden Anniversary and twenty years of Elite Dangerous! I might have finally even made it out to Colonia by then.
Thank you o7

The future does indeed look quite BRIGHT!
Heck, i only just joined this incredible game & passionate community around 7 months ago , but tbqh i sorta feel like i might've joined at perhaps the best, or one of the best, chapters in history.SWG ( Star Wars Galaxies ) was to me the preeminent "sandbox" , but unfortunately it's original form & pure intent ( designed by creative genius Raph Koster ) fell by the gaming wayside and, despite noble emulators, for many years i was personally left with a drastic digital VOID. However, 7 months ago for me that void was not only filled by this Elite Dangerous but also in some ways even surpassed!
That ^ screenshot , simple as it may seem, is actually one perfect example what this game has to offer: Something familiar ( planet w/ rings on the right ) . Something found ( alien debris on the left ) . And something forever ( those stars in the beyond ) . o7
So THANKYOU for providing such a vast & dynamic, well, space to play within. And thanks also for that joyous 10th Anniversary recap VIDEO ^ too! It's so easy around here to yell & rant at "FDev" this and "FDev" that , often forgetting how truly dedicated & determined PEOPLE these Frontier Developers must be everyday they work on EliteD . Sometimes in my 7 months here i've wondered why the FDevs don't post nor participate much ( ever ) here on these official forums , but honestly it's probably better they don't since yes they're busy coding & designing, etc. , but also because it maintains the mystery and makes videos like today's all that more cherished imo.
Speaking of which, in the video toward the beginning section, one of the devs mentioned something about how players first figured out "nanite torpedos" effect upon Thargoids and all that ... Does anyone remember specifics about that time for the community? Like, who/how did players first discover the "nanite effect" or whatever? Is there an old thread about it somewhere from that year or first few days of player's nanite triumph?
Anyways, i'm gonna get a bit pollyannish here while i also steal a phrase from today's video: In only 7 months, this game has made such a wonderful "narrative scar" rippled upon my gaming soul that i hope it never heals! At least, not until the next momentous incarnation of EliteD sequel in say....5, 10 years from now?
It was not so long ago i thought of uninstalling this game. It would have been a mournful time. However especially this year there has been much improvement which has brought hope. The truth is this game has no equivalent. Congratulations to us all who have come on this journey. May it continue long into the future.
For Legacy players as well ?
