I have a wondering mind. How or Why did you join GBAtemp.net? Did you find it accidentally? Did a friend tell you about this site? I found this site from a couple of searches about NDS homebrew.

Same. Now the sites flooded with newbs and they barely post any proper news anymore. Ah how the times have changed.
 
I joined because, like most, looking for flashcart advice. Around that time, a large majority of people, swore by R4. Back then, at least.

If I can recall, in 2007 my friends were talking about how one of them got this new fangled device named a "R4". So, being a confused person at the time, did a google search. Then it eventually led to GBAtemp and the review it had on the R4. Hooray.

From what I've always been told, I narrowly missed the temp breakdown during LoZ:PH. Since I lurked for a while until I registered to ask the question I asked in my first post ever.

I used to think that a flashcart simple enough for any idiot to use was a good thing. It never occurred to me at the time that the R4 would force the universe to build a better idiot.

Well it comes with the advancements in stuff like that, I suppose. I still don't see why it's "shitty" now. Mine, that I never use now, still plays the games I want. That's good enough for me.
 
I've told my story many times already, but I came here back when Metroid Zero Mission was released, and I was looking for the ROM and I found this site via a search engine. Though GBAtemp didn't have the ROM, I decided to stay because of the community.
 
I joined because I felt like it. Maybe I could help some people or do whatever. Never had a problem with my R4 and never had a problem with my M3. If I did have a problem, I'd search for it, but I've done enough research to know what kinds of problems I may run into.

Now as for how I heard about GBATemp, I was a curious boy that always watched my brother browse the web and he was looking for an GBA flashcart over about 4 years ago. Though, I didn't join until like 2 years ago though.
 
Joined to learn more about flashcarts. Back then it was slot 2 instead of slot 1 flashcarts.

Right before the DS lite was launched, I joined to try and find info about stores selling them early. My fist post and topic was about finding some, and being overly excited/weird.
 
I think I joined for the Pokemon Heart Gold translation...

I know, I'm a noob.
 
I joined when I found the site while researching GBA flashcarts. Back when the Flash2Advance was popular, which is what I ended up with.
 
tepples of gbadev.org spoke negatively of it due to it condoning piracy or something, so I headed on over to check it out and made an account same day.

Also, I heard there'd be girls here.
