How/Why You Joined GBAtemp?

[MADKATZ99]

Can't believe I've been here since dec 05

Yeah, I think I was looking for ROM's lol Couldn't work out how to download 'em from here though... it's very deceiving.

I joined because some Wii softmodding website said that GBAtemp was some crappy piece of sh*t website that was run by little kids, so I decided to check it out (This was in 2008). And then I was lurking for a while, and in January 2009, I got a flashcart (I got ripped off, but who cares? It's my first flashcart). So I was visiting here more often, and I was checking out some of the homebrew, and a few days before school ended, I decided to join here. And I started to contribute more and more. So the Japanese HG/SS came out, and I saw a bunch of translations pop up. I was then talking to a guy named "PaperMagician" on KazoWAR's translation chat, who claimed to have completed a 95% Engrish translation of HG/SS. So I was decided the one to compile it into a patch and release it to GBAtemp. He disappeared or something, so I (and some other tempers) got impatient, so I decided to start a Engrish translation of my own (but it didn't get too far because I felt kinda lazy). And then PaperMagician (or some imposter) came onto the KazoWAR chat and said "some black van" came in front of his house, and he disconnected. This caused someone (Stevetry

) to be unsupportive, so he was trolling me (and only me) until the US release (He wasn't trolling the other translators). So then the HG/SS US release came along, and I found out that trolly troll over there didn't have a fix (

). And around that time, I got myself a DSi XL and an Acekard 2i. I've been very supportive of AKAIO (even though Normmatt once called me a f*cker for stating incorrect information). But now I'm moving on, and my Supercard DSTWO will be arriving on Monday.

Oh wait, you said "Why did you join", not "What have you been doing on GBAtemp the whole time". Okay, ignore practically everything I said except for the first 2-4 sentences.

Dont remember why and when I joined here. How? I guess with the registration page http://gbatemp.net/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00

How do you not know when you joined? I even know when you joined. You joined on September 18, 2009.

I wanted access to the members-only rom section

 

[dinofan01]

I wanted access to the members-only rom section

It was so much easier downloading all my favorite pokemon, dragon quest, mario and grand theft auto games without all the noobs on that section.

 

[Mangofett]

Sooooo glad they host isos now. My usenet ran out, and direct ftp from gbatemp is pretty fast.

 

[dinofan01]

Seriously. I remember when I had to sit around looking for torrents and waiting for them to download. Direct downloads are so much quicker especially with only a few select members getting the privilege.

 

[darkranboria]

I wanted access to the members-only rom section

I got like all my games from there.

 

[Mangofett]

Haha it's not even that exclusive, you just have to not be retarded and you can get access to it

 

[dinofan01]

Really? That explains why I got admission so easily and why I thought it was exclusive....I am pretty retarded.

 

[CookiesMilk]

I always search for roms to download and everytime the search result come out, I always saw GBAtemp in it... At 1st I come here to check about it and saw the super duper ultimate UGLY logo zz... Then at first in my mind I think: "EW, this logo...wth... this forum sure is a bloody sucks one... I think itz someone anyhow created it for fun..." And after a few months I come back to check this site again. This time I don't care about the logo, just the contents and find itz nice. Go a lot of nice feedback so I decided to join :]

 

[Giga_Gaia]

I don't even remember why or how I joined.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

for homebrews and upload my R4DS skins

 

[Gagarin]

I had problems with my Flash card and google it up. Then somebody helped me and I was like....
Love it.

 

[The Catboy]

I joined because I had gotten a Game n Watch and wanted it to play roms and a link I found led to here. So I just looked over the site as a guest for a few years and during that huge mess in September, I ended up making an account to bitch about a patch not being released.

 

[Domination]

I wanted to catch a glimpse of the member Domination, heard he was pretty awesome.

But also because of the romz and help you can get for romz.

Plus, gbatemp is full of pirates. I also wanted to be part of a pirate community.

 

[nutella]

for the lulz i guess

but seriously, i lurked for like 1-2 years, then i stopped for a few months. when i came back, i realised how awesome it was and joined.

 

[Blastoise]

I always read on it for a while and then one day I just joined.

 

[Fishaman P]

I joined because i needed help with a lot of stuff, and this was the site I always ended up on

Yeah, I googled a lot when I got a problem with my son's flash cart (before I joined GBATemp) and 2 of the first page's results were GBATemp.net ... Registered myself and WOW, benefit myself well.

EDIT: THANKS GBATemp
