Just a post to congratulate this contest and all the players; as of today the Nation Song Contest has been running officially for ten years!
NSC 1's confirmation was successfully opened on February 4th 2007, in the wake of the cancelled remains of its short-lived first attempt (never forget ;_; )
Here's a snapshot of this very forum at that moment ten years ago (or roughly, according to waybackmachine; all the important threads are there anyway!)
So, a very happy birthday to you NSC! You may now be filled with boring, busy twenty-somethings as opposed to the bored, computer-addicted teenagers of yesteryear (though they are much more fabulous now tbh).
But, after all this time, you're still alive and kicking, as a game, as a competition, as a pool of all kinds of amazing music and as one of the best communities around! Not long til we ship you off to high school. To the next ten years! 1
