GBAtemp has changed..

[jan777]

Ohaaii.

I miss the old gbatemp.

I started out here when I was trying to figure out how to make some games work on my original r4 (it needed an update).
Lurked here a lot.

I was kinda scared cause I was the only guy with a Philippine flag back then, and I thought nobody would respond to me.

The I got a Wii, a japanese one. I had a lot of trouble so I checked in temp, and there was a thread about Jap wii users. I asked a question there but nobody responded. So I just researched shit on my own.

Then Wii hacking blossomed. Man those were the good times. I was kinda pro at it

I was helping others set up their stuff, telling them to remove gc memcards and shit. Fun part is I got my Japanese Wii converted to a USA one.

These were the times where people hacked their Wii for the sake of hacking it, for the apps and homebrew. I remember booting up TP then making Link jump/walk back everytime I wanted to run homebrew. Pretty sick.

Then came wad installers and shit, then the usb loaders, and too many newbs not knowing what to do.
It attracted those people who wants to hack their wii because it's free games. Don't get me wrong, I also use the USB loaders, but that wasn't the sole reason I had installed TP hack on my wii.
It became very frustrating. I just became a lurker and observed.

Man those were good times.

Now, just seems like everybody hates newbs pretty much. Some people really need help, but they just get called noobz. That's fucked up.

And the cycle repeats itself, Some other person needs help, noobz call them noobz. I mean wtf!

The only thing that actually irritates me is the people who posts about "is 3ds hacked nao?" or "idea to hack 3ds" damn bullshit. If the 3DS gets hacked, it will probably on the first fucking page. And if you have a legit idea on how to hack the 3DS, wait, no you don't.

Also, people posting shit threads for fame.

I don't think that when the 3DS or Wii U ever gets hacked, that people will appreciate it like back then with the Wii.

It's kinda sad.

lotsa people came and went. I still recognize some other of the active people out here. But meh.

Also: Testing Area. (newtemps don't even know

)

Side note, Im taking a vacation to go back to the Philippines with the family.

Flight is on monday.

Also gonna take some university entrance tests while I'm in there. I'm not going to review any shit so wish me luck.

 

[jurassicplayer]

sausage heado desu ka?

 

[redact]

gbatemp is always changing, there have been more "gbatemp has changed, i miss the old days" threads than i can count and most of the threads are made by people who haven't even been here that long (relatively) you need to remember that this site has been around since '02 and you joined in '08, what it was like when you joined is definitely not what it was like when it started - i haven't been here that long either compared to a lot of the veterans on this board *looks at FAST6191*

EDIT: grammar phail :derp:

 

[Thesolcity]

Good god. If I wanted to hear about the "good old days" I'd walk down to the local donut shop to hear old white guys rant about the current state of this neighborhood.

 

[jan777]

I know I know.

It's just.. not the same anymore.

It's hard to see something you like change right before your very eyes.

 

[Lucifer666]

Why so much

everywhere?

 

[Costello]

GBAtemp changes all the time, just like you do, just like the world does.
Everything changes all the time

Now whether the change is for the best or for worse it's your opinion.
People usually say things were better before, it's kinda commonplace...

 

[Thesolcity]

I honestly think people bitch on how things used to be to grant themselves pseudo-seniority over the "change" and to validate themselves as some sort of veteran. Also, just because they want to bitch.

 

[jan777]

I'm not bitching or anything, just narrating.

also

is the easiest emoticon for me to type, so... yeah.

also also: I should have made it clear, "Gbatemp has changed (in my years of stay here)"

It's just.. a new experience. That's all.

 

[Thesolcity]

Oh, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the people who bitch about the "good ol' days".

 

[emigre]

I swear "I miss the old X," is the overused phase on the internet.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

It is true that the temp has changed over the years. But so has your view of the temp.

To me the topics here have become less "attractive" if you get what I'm trying to say. and There has been a serious slowdown in my replies. Frankly, I think it's kinda dead despite all the activity.

Sorry if that last sentence came off a little emo.

 

[Thesolcity]

You want activity? Fine, wait till the 3DS is hacked and/or a new Pokémon game is dumped.

 

[MaximusDecemus]

Things are always more exciting when they are new! I've been reading posts on GBAtemp for years, even though I only recently signed up to an account. In the past year it has definitely felt like an era is coming to an end with the wii and ds slowly dying. But look at it like the rebirth of a phoenix. Once the new generation is hacked for home brew, GBAtemp will be back to being a busy marketplace of knowledge and ideas. Hopefully soon!

No thanks. The flood from that could possibly rival the Sony shitstorm from months back.


@Jan777: lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

 

[Thesolcity]

Oh yeah, I remembered not trying to post during that flood.

 

[Youkai]

lol hardly anyone here that is here longer than 3 years XD

well I was here when GBAtemp was still a rom hosting page ! no clue why my old account was deleted but sometime later I found the page "again" and re-registred and yeah many things changed.

especially in the last few years .... weird spammers that were allways close of getting banned became mods (not saying any names) other guys who were extremely helpful and only wrote when there was need to went away due to "idiots" here on the forum and so on ..


oh and noob haters where allways here, just that its getting more and more lately.
most funny thing is that most of the noob haters nowadays are hardly longer here than a year XD
other thing i love are those guys that are here since some weeks and higher their post count with bitching in every post that someone did something "wrong" in their opinion.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

No need to be coy. You're talking about Rydian and Zorua among others.

There are bound to be dicks somewhere along the line, They just chose the path with less BS.
