I'm pretty much same as shaun, using the old rom page greetings book to communicate and eventually evolve to what we have now.

The creation of the GBAtemp name is surrounded in folklore or maybe just one hell of a grog induced memory gap.
Some say GBAtemp was forged in the depths of the Earth, others say it was a meteorite that fell from the sky, some even believe it was a gift from the frog king but they have since been eliminated by those who follow the newt king.
Either way it is said that Kivan founded GBATemp as a site to grab the latest GBA roms and to dodge the ills that would plague anyone trying to find the latest roms with the distribution methods de jour of the time (IRC was overrun by idiots, Usenet is apparently too hard, FTP was dead and HTTP sites lasted all of 20 minutes).
As they would likely only last for a few days/weeks they were "temporary" thus it was a GBA temp site.
Somewhere along the line a hotel was built and a duck was murdered as well.

hmmm.....I'd have to say...4 months before Metroid Zero got dumped....cause that's when I got into GBA really.

Well , i was there when gbatemp was a website and was offering roms to the open public , i join the forum in nov. 2002 so almost 4 years maybe more than that , before being DarkRamza i was masterbruno1.
From the start I guess..
Bought a flashcart for my GBA and came here looking for roms..
I have not been active for a long time now.. but that will probably change when I get..

I first found gbatemp a long time ago, back when the first 64mbit GBA carts were coming out, but I didn't register. Then I had a couple kids, which kept me busy for a few years. They still keep me busy, but I found time to get back to the hobby after I saw the BACKLIT GBA-SP come out last fall. I then bought an SP and an EFA cart and somewhere in there I finally registered here.
a year I think. posting to check join date...
(apparently a lot longer
)
good site, nice international community.
