A bit of GBAtemp nostalgia

[ConraDargo]

Hey, look what I stumbled upon a week ago as I was just browsing through the files on my computer!
I've been deliberately holding on to these pictures until today, to show you what special event took place three years ago

Remember this? I'm sure those of you who were registered at the moment does - the hype was pretty huge after all, I mean just look at how many users that were currently browsing as I took this screenshot: 592!

Here's another picture showing just how crazy-long the list of registered members currently logged on was (couldn't even fit it in one print screen):



I remember taking these because just as everyone else, I was pretty hyped up about the upcoming change and thought that it would be fun to look back on these some day. And I was right, wasn't I?

There are a few other interesting things going on in the first picture as well that occured the same month:

- We can see a poll on how many people were planning on chipping their Wii (and the results of this).
- The user panther_512 was sharing his experience with the Wiip.
- A new Setup Disc was released for the Wiikey.
- Opium had initiated a competition called "How much do you love GBAtemp?".

Nostalgia

What's up with the "In less than 24 hours"?

And oh, I personally use and love the white skin

Strange as you should post this, as i was thinking to myself a couple of hours ago while i was browsing, that i knew nothing of this site's history

The nostalgia. I was a long time lurker.

That was stupid of me. I should have signed up. Well, the only reason I came was for help with my.....Acekard. I found some informative topics.

I'll never let you forget I'm your senior by four days

Although you're my superior by about...ooh, nearly 4,000 posts?

But yeah, I lurked and I kinda wish I joined sooner.

[macgeek417]

What was to happen?

 

[macgeek417]

...you never saw anything...

 

[saxamo]

I remember that. I also still use that skin as that was the same one that was up when I came here. Now is this topic just a circle jerk for members who have been here a while?
