Did you know that...
Facts and only facts.

...if you go to any profile, you can notice a characteristic icon just above and to the right of the nickname. If you click on it, you can make a note about the person so you don't have to painfully remember when you drank with them who is this person in front of you: because if you hover over the box (example: Pegazs), the note will be reflected in it too! It is visible only to you and (presumably) the administration.
...during the beta test, the site had as many as three placeholder pages. However, the address gamer.ru/beta, which previously redirected to the main page, now gives a 404 error. What a pity! Who knows what legendary slowpoke we might be losing.
...if NoNameNoClan, who was banned under mysterious (even for today's administration) circumstances, were to suddenly be unbanned now, he would occupy approximately the twentieth place in the ranking, give or take one position.
...LLC "Gaming Media" (this is the official name for our "spherical admins in a vacuum") occasionally uses the services of promoHR.
...the site is built on Ruby on Rails.
...The inscription "Don't panic!" that we can see quite often instead of the 502 error is a direct reference to Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." This very inscription, translated as "Не паникуй!", adorns the main page of the "Guide." From there, we also got the meme "42." Why this inscription? Because gladiolus.
...the very first Skype chat in the history of Gamer.ru was created in early January 2010 to discuss the possibility of creating a "Clan of Authors" (on December 31, 2009, approximately at 23:30, the clan system was put into operation). As the discussion progressed, the conversation sharply veered off topic, and it almost ended in a massive boycott of the site.
...the admin panel for banners is located here.
...before switching to Skype, the chat was based in Jabber. The attendance was extremely low and rarely exceeded 10 people.
...besides gamer.ru, the company "Gaming Media" owns domains such as gamer.ua, gamer.su, gamer.sh, gamerlive.ru, gamingmedia.ru, and several others.
...if, from the moment of registration, you write not a single comment, don't fill out the questionnaire, and ignore the so-called "passive experience" and the viceroy bonus, then to reach level 55 you will need, by choice: 91 diamonds/242 gold/727 silver. In the opposite scenario—no posts and all comments upvoted to +50 after reaching the fifth level—you would need 4332 comments.
Be careful. Beauty is in the details.
