GBAtemp has changed..

Ohaaii. :lol:

I miss the old gbatemp. :lol:


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. :lol:

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

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

Also, people posting shit threads for fame. :sleep:

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. :sleep: 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 :lol: )

---

Side note, Im taking a vacation to go back to the Philippines with the family. :lol: Flight is on monday. :D
Also gonna take some university entrance tests while I'm in there. I'm not going to review any shit so wish me luck. :lol: :P

Do you mean you were worried people wouldn't respond because of the flag?

I say as long as you can speak english, no matter how broken, the Temp can help you. Because it's the language I'm assuming a lot of people know well here.

And we won't judge(?). :unsure: Although I remember one point in time when Monkat ridiculed every ones grammar...

Well if it makes you feel better, I am also Filipino. :) I may not be able to speak Tagalog, and I may only be 1 quarter, but i swear I am.
 
I gleaned through this post and found that he is missing the following:

incessant rants about sexuality, furrydom, and religion.

Is this still a gaming site?

It's mostly a gaming site, but clearly hasn't closed it doors to different things.
 
thats the part that i hate the most
"pro" users calling other n00bs coz they have more posts :s and know something more
and the majority of those post are
1.trolling
2.picking up on new users

Don't know why you say "pro". Besides, there are very specific members that are like that.

I beg to differ. That title belongs to AGLC.
 
[quote name='Costello' post='3766213' date='Jul 10 2011, 12:08 AM']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...[/quote]
The OP was pointing out the technical minded-ness of the past and present members. Yes this is "different" but don't act like it's just old people complaining because things inevitably change. There is a very real change in the demographic of the traffic here, posting or otherwise.
 
I remember this when it was all fields….

I have been around this site for years. Like all forums, the more popular it gets the more idiots/noobs it attracts but you will always have the long-time posters and the people committed to making this a place where you can express yourself and exchange information. This site has grown, the forums have expanded and the community involvement is at an all-time high, what with the blogs, the Homebrew bounties, tutorials, reviews and articles. If the site is to grow then you have to put up with the negatives as well as the positives, as far as I am concerned the positives far and away outweigh the negatives. It’s a community website, its only as good as what you/we put in, if that means I have to put up with a stupid post every now and again, I can live with that, I have put up with worse in my life.

If you don’t let things grow then they become stale and boring, if you let them grow they will change and morph over time, whichever way you look at it if you preferred the site at a period in time, it would have either become boring or it would have changed anyway, either way you would be posting the same blog entry, if you think back, without the changes, you wouldn’t have a place to even make the blog entry.

So cheer up, it’s still the best place to go for a quick chat, read news and forums on the subject you love, me I hope it’s here for many more years, I know I will be.

(Damn Still not 1000 posts)
