Happy Second Birthday, Xbox GamerchiX
Published June 5, 2008
Thousands of gamer girls from dozens of countries around the world are now celebrating their second year as an Xbox GamerchiX.
It all started with a forum post on June 5, 2006. The subject was "Looking for Xbox GamerchiX" and in just two years, that post has led to a thriving all-girl gaming group. Members include lifelong gamers as well as women who are very new to video games.
GamerchiX include students, professionals, full-time Moms, professional gamers, soldiers and sailors, artists, game developers, grandmas, and chiX that knit, race motorcycles, design tattoos, teach school. What we've all got in common is GAMES! Here are some birthday messages from 'chiX that have been with us since day one, and 'chiX that are new recruits.
Happy Second Birthday GamerchiX Wishes, from the GamerchiX:
I want to say thank you to TriXie, DirtyDiva, and PMS Kitty for getting together and putting this wonderful group together. We all have our different reasons for joining GamerchiX, but we all have one thing in common and that is that we are gamers. I have met some wonderful gamers here and some of them have become great friends of mine. Happy Second Birthday GamerchiX! Here's to many more!

Holly heck! Didn't we just do this? Has it been another year already? We're only two? That last year flew by, but I swear I've been chatting here here for longer than two years. That is hard to believe. I am so thankful for everyone here. I have developed some truly special friendships that I would not have had otherwise. Thank you for that. Oh, and Happy Birthday to us.

what the true meaning of gaming is. A big hug to you all!

Only two? Wow i've been here since November of 2007 and it sure seems a lot longer. I've met so many wonderful girls in GamerchiX. Happy B-day and here's to many more.

Happy Birthday! I haven't been a member of the XGX that long, only about three months, but I've still met many wonderful and awesome 'chiX during that short period of time. I must say this community has really made me feel more excited about the multiplayer part in games, now I think it's actually fun to play it. I hope this group of girls will last for years to come, they're all awesome ChiX!

I honestly can't believe it's been another year already! I have met so many really great people through Xbox LIVE, both male and female. If it wasn't for Xbox GamerchiX, I would never have had enough nerve to actually speak up on LIVE and make friends. Through GamerchiX, I feel like I am a part of the bigger community. I'm excited to be here and can't wait to see what the next year brings! Happy Birthday, 'chiX!

Two years? Happy birthday, ladies! I have met some amazing women in this forum. I have formed friendships with people I can't imagine not talking to and getting their life updates on a near daily basis. I used to think that there were hardly any women who played Xbox until I signed up here. At that point, we had just hit the 1,000 mark and now it's over 5,000 strong in less than two years! I'd say that's proof that there's an awful lot of us around and I'm so glad I was able to find you all. Here's to the founders—TriXie, DirtyDiva, and PMS Kitty who made this all possible. Thanks also to all of you ladies for being the wonderful people that you are and thanks to the mods such as kiki kat who work together and help keep it the wonderful community that it is.

We don't have to worry about being harrassed by
guys in here or feel silly asking "dumb questions",
we are one very big and growing, happy family.

Happy birthday GamerchiX. I smile at the friendships I have made thru GamerchiX and its a unique bond we share. Cheers to everyone.
—Ooopy
This is going to make us feel old in like 8 years when we are saying, "wow 10 years old already? I remember when we only had about 15,000 girls."
—mechANGEL
Happy Birthday GamerchiX!!! This has been the most positive place for girls of all ages and I have met some pretty fantastic ones at that. It's such a great place to come and ask questions about video games or life questions and there is always someone willing to be there for us. We don't have to worry about being harrassed by guys in here or feel silly asking "dumb questions", we are one very big and growing, happy family. Thank you Trixie for all that you have done and all that you do for us GamerchiX, Happy Birthday, WoooHooo.
—Katty Kitti
