Old SKOOL Tempers.. Raise Your Hands!

[raulpica]

Lurker since 2004-2005, registered my first account in 2006, lost the pw in 2007 (my last login with that one was in 2008 though? wtf), registered this one and never left after that

I think I was on the very tail end of what counts as old school. Late late 2007, looking for something more than just a datel games n music

 

[Smuff]

I've been checking in daily for almost 9 years now - wow!
I rarely post nowadays. I've moved on.

I definitely lurked around myself quite a bit before actually signing in 2005. I always enjoyed seeing people discuss the newest games on the Magazine News release list and I think at that time Ouendan got a release so I wanted to see what people think about the game (it was pure awesomeness btw!).

I think magazine news for 3DS games would be an awesome thing too but probably it takes to much effort to keep up with the releases and gather all the information. But it was a nice thing to have none the less.

I was never as active as others but nowadays I rarely post anything. I really don`t find the time to engage in conversations...

I don't remember why or when I registered, but it was a long time ago (sure I will remember after looking at this posted).
I never was a really active member, just a registered lurker.
My first GBA was stolen in 2002, so I kind of ragequitted the scene until I started planning on getting a DS, I think around 2006. Perhaps it was around that time I started lurking again.
I don't remember so much about old gbatemp, only perhaps that it was quite a flamefest.
To be honest, even today it tends to be a flamefest, only with faster and better moderation than before.

Lurked for a long time then finally signed up when I was at uni. 2003 I think. Lost that account and came back years later

Wonder what my original user number was..

Came back yesterday to post about my progress on making a driver on OSX for the Wii U Gamecube adapter, to find my account from 2002 gone. No-one had nabbed my username in the meantime, at least, but it's sad to see my join date gone.

 

[DinohScene]

Lurking since... 2007 or something.
Signed up in 2011 c:

Member #3000 here, joining the day after bommie neet back in 2002.... Also I hit the big 4-0 this year *weeps* so I'm an old-skool temper in both senses of the word....
*cough*
*wheeze*
*fart*
*ZZZZzzzzzzz...*

(didn't become a member back then to actively post on the forums though...... )

 

[[Truth]]

Bought my first flashcard, the XG-Flash 1, after reading on GBAtemp about it.
Don´t know when exactly that was, i think around 2002-2003.
And I also don´t know why I only registered years later.

What about old skool tempers who are still really active? with, like, 3,500+ posts?

I remember a trio of moderators who were fun, very elitist and were banned for being dicks. I remember fighting with them, and I remember suggesting a rule fix that after some hate and bashing went through. (Puck The Joker, Luse... and who was the third one, Luse's lover?)

I remember all the start page evolutions, with the release boxes that later became small modules with releases for different systems, and then disappeared. I remember G-Online that came and went. I remember the list on the left side of the home page that listed each member who had a birthday today.

I remember the EZF-Advance review by Opium in September '04, which led to me buying my first flashcart (yeah, flashcart, not flashcard! )

I remember the birth of hrth , I remember bonemonkey fucking around, I remember the smurf-censoring.

I remember all the waves of poké-flooding... And when everyone was freaking out with Boktai.

But most of all, I remember the love and the community.

I miss bonemonkey and all his boney shenanigans Oh the glory days of temp. Filled with plenty of Costello, mthrnite and Shaun. Shoutout to mah boyz chuckstudious and Law!

Also last month was my 9 year anniversary. :o

Necro-thread incoming.

I was looking for my old pal Thug4l1f3 to have a chat.... and found this thread! Some of the names in this thread brought up some interesting memories. Hahaha!

Some people may know me as "ShADoW-X" from the online chat rooms. I also used "ShADyX" fairly regularly (and still use both handles).

I still visit GBATemp on occasion, however I haven't logged in for almost 6 years. I was around at the start so I guess you could say i'm old school. I still remember the original rendition of the site made by Kivan, and moderated by Thug4L1f3, Costello, ShaunJ66, DjNaff, and others who's name evade me right now (sorry guys!). I never really used the forums much in the beginning however, and preferred to hang out in the the IRC channel #gbatemp as well as sister channel #megaroms and rival #gbanow, where we tended to refer to the forum crowd as the "forum kiddies".

I still remember having plenty of fantastic conversations and running amuck with Thug4L1f3, speechles, Kontrast, afkajay, djgarf and plenty of the gang. IRC wars and botnets were a great way to pass the time in my early 20's and the "skeen" brought hours of entertainment outside of my GBA flash carts.

Anyways. Thought I would drop a line here after reading some of the stuff you guys wrote. I hope some of you guys are still around and out there reading this. It would be great to chat again one day and have a good laugh like those old times.

Nowadays I'm a dad with a family and after working a bunch of boring jobs for years I decided to become a game designer and follow my one true dream. I'm currently studying whilst working on some of my own stuff and hope that someday you guys will pirate the shit out of my games. (Maybe you could buy a copy too?) ;D

Peace!

It'll be my 7th year of GBATemp in August. So I'm kind of an oldie I guess. Trying to familiarize myself with some of the new people here as well as catch up with some old friends.

 

[Blood Fetish]

This thread is older than me.

 

[VinsCool]

Long time lurker. Made my account 2 years ago (time flies!)

I was lurking around 2008-2009, and followed the scenes closely.

I only made my account during nintendont's developpement to post a comment about a game that wasn't working, if I remember correctly

I then got in standby, browsing very rarely (had life issues back in these days.) Became really active around July 2014.

Never left since then
