Why did you decide to join GBATEMP?

[Mythical]

I joined to mod my 3ds and get some help if needed. Stayed because I like the humour and everythings well layed out. Also I'm a huge nerd

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I remember joining during the peak of the Wii hacking scene, joined here after the infamous TehSkeen site died off

Lead my down a rabbit hole with Tehskeen

It was a long cold cloudy day. I didn’t know myself, I was a confused little person. Who am I? Where will I go? Are questions I asked.

I searched deeply hoping for an answer. I found nothing, nothing at all. I was disappointed. And mad. I banged my computer desk as hard as I can. Letting out a huge “Damn.” Why can’t I find nothing? I thought. Why? I was so hopeless.

I was browsing the web searching for answers in hope I can find something. Then I found it. I stumbled upon something that’ll change my whole life. I found videos of a guy eating a spiky cactus. Ha Ha Ha, I laughed. I was cured! Hallelujah!

.....then I joined the after thought of a site that I don’t really care for that much called GBAtemp.

I joined to be Moonshell2 support, answering all the questions. And then everything went downhill, nowadays all I see are strange threads talking about things like why I decided to join GBATemp and if masculinity is toxic and other unrelated things.

I was lurking on the Gateway 3DS New 3DS thread and decided to join in. Jesus Christ, that was a hell of a thread. Is it soon, yet?

Oh man, that was an absolute mess. I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I was on the IRC server for a while, and felt it was a friendly place. I also read some reviews on the site, and got myself a flashcart... and then decided to join eventually one day, to get all the latest release news and just chat away about those games.

Something like that... it's soon 15 years ago >_>

You joined when 80% of the userbase was learning to walk

 

[Astral_]

I joined for the GBA err... message board ?

 

[Darth Meteos]

It was a clusterfuck, but man, it was the best clusterfuck. I wonder if Bortz still has war flashbacks about that one.

While researching how to write homebrew on the 3DS and also for modding it I ended up in threads here a lot. Then when I got stuck on something I registered and asked a question,then posted the working result back.

After a couple of months later my homebrew was ready for a preview release on the Wii, and got some really helpfull feedback on it.

So far the experience has been really great.

I originally signed up way back at the beginning, a username I’ve long since lost as I no longer have the email associated with it, because the forums were a wealth of information. The community was good, frankly if you wanted to learn, have a natter about gaming or just follow the “scene”, it was one of the best places to be.

 

[ItsMetaKnight]

because I wanted to comment on the gba scene releases

I joined after lurking for around 3 years.

It was the days of Wii modding (when I started lurking). I just wanted to play games on my Wii again, since an original copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl damaged badly the disc reader of my Wii after 2 or 3 uses. It seemed to be a common problem for many first year consoles, and Nintendo fixed them for free. But not in my country. I would have needed to pay the same a new Wii costed for sending it to NOA. So I simply let it gather dust for a year.

One cold night of 2009, I finally realized I didn't need Nintendo at all. GBATemp had the solution for my problems. No more disc reading problems thanks to USB loaders. But I didn't create my account since I felt safer as a guest, without all that drama that meant being a member (that was nearly non-existent by then, but it already was present in some threads).

I joined until the last day of 2012, since I realized the world didn't come to an end on December 21st, and I could very well start a wild ride around here while the real judgement day comes near.

Best site for video games and more

I joined because of y'all, obviously.
