I was a lurker at first, as i guess most of us were, gaining solutions to my problems, dunno why, but i just felt i wanted to be part of the community and if i can give a little back, all well and good.
 
I could not remember how I started came here but it is something to do with games I want to check it out.

I found GBAtemp by searching for flashcart reviews. I only joined at the time because some of the reviews were only accessible by members.

Same here, also I wanted to ask some things about different flashcards.
 
I must not be the only person who joined because you had to sign up to read threads? When did management change that?
 
My brother showed me the site some years ago. I really liked it, because of the Magazine News.

Back then the threads for the games in the Magazine News were about the games quality and what everybody thought about them. Nowadays it is just a bunch of spamming: be it compatibility-related or people trying to be funny (like atm with Sleepover Party...). I usually tend to ignore that section since one or two years because of that...
 
HOW: Well, I clicked the register thing at the top, filled in some info and clicked submit

WHY: Kept coming back here for some reason (mostly by searching for Homebrew in general), and registered to learn more stuff about it and see if I could help others

Well a couple of years ago my wife bought a DSLite. Then I had to have one. Then Vulpes wanted one. Vulpes later bought a Max Media Dock for his. In the course of researching how to make it play videos I found GBAtemp and found out the thing played backups. I got so much accurate help reading the threads and useing the downloads section that I just stayed. Now I'm just here to help when I can.
 
Well,a while back i got myself an r4 (yes, i know it sucks, i got it years ago) and had many problems with it,so I found GBAtemp,but never bothered to join until a few monthes later xD. I have joined numerous forums,but none with the kind staff and members like GBAtemp.
 
I came here for the ROMs.

Well, actually, I was doing research when I was buying my flashcart and a lot of the links lead to here. I eventually made an account and once I realized that my flashcart could sustain my boredom over trolling the previous site I used (which has since gone down the crapper), I finally started contributing and eventually this became my main forum. I've learned a lot here and it's been a great decision to be here, so yeah.
 
I first found about IRC. I was named Aerro and was on #gbatemp nonstop. Then I googled it and here I am.
 
Wow, to think that a year and a half ago, I registered... How the time flies.


I joined GBATemp for reasons that I don't really remember. I'm pretty sure it was after my friend told me about it after telling me that flashcarts can play free games. I was skeptical, but I did a few Google searches and found GBATemp. I joined, because I couldn't see the reviews. After that, I lurked around, picking up various tidbits of info, and I eventually found myself contributing as well.


Thanks again GBATemp, you've probably saved me 1000's of dollars.

When I first found out what the r4 was, I got one immediately just because of the free games. I had it for about a year and a half, then I got a dsi. That's when I found out about the acekard 2i(on gbatemp.net). I learned alot here, and i could use my acekard for much more than games.
THANK YOU GBATEMP!
 
Joined because when I Googled something, mostly GBAtemp showed up.
I became un-active for 3 months then I came back.
