For me, it all started when my brother directed me to the Smash Dojo (the older one). I remember there was a button that said "Click here to discuss Brawl with other fans" or something like that. So, I clicked it and it led me to the Smash Board of OldSider. I lurked for a few months, not wanting to join because I thought I didn't know enough about video games to join. I later found out that some users there didn't know much of anything. :D. So, one day I randomly decided to join and OldSider closed down about 2-3 months later.
So, what's your story?
Oh and if you didn't join OldSider, what made you join NSF?
I was new on the internet, and one day I searched nintendo and came across it.
I got an email from Nintendo talking about the new forums they had for Wind Waker.
So I browsed, saw a thread that I wanted to reply to, and made an account.
I couldn't actually log onto my account for like.. 3 months.
And the rest is history. :B
I came across the forums while looking for game tips.
Ad from Nintendo Power. I loved reading the user reviews, and wanted to get one in myself.
PKMN Mystery Dungeon.
I joined a few fanmade game-related forums before I joined Oldsider, and I knew Nintendo had official ones. So I registered on New Years Day 2006, and a few months later, the fanmade ones closed down.
I joined after having a question about one of the games I had, and saw that they had an official forum.
I joined simply because I wanted to know the origin of Master Hand. That's it. And I didn't even ask the question until 3 months after I joined. :-\
Both times I joined it was while registering an account at kirbykirbykirby.com
I really don't know. I remember trying to join around 2001 but I neaded an active subcription to Nintendo Power and mine subcription had run out just a few months earlier. Then I joined up in 2005 for some reason.
I needed help on a Pokemon game.
I wanted to join Nintendo for years, and finally got around to it. I saw they had an online forum (And saw it many months ago numerous times.), and decided to join.
What made me join NSF? I wanted the Oldsider Forums to return, but we got Techsider. So I PM'd some old users, Mack sent me a link to NSF in December, and I joined. I know I didn't have to add this, but still...
Back in early '04, I think I was trying to figure out how to get past level 7-4 in Super Mario Bros... the maze-like Bowser castle. Either that, or trying to get help with Banjo-Kazooie. Then I came across Power on, The Cave, the chat threads, and early RPs. xD
The forums I went to previously were over-encumbered with problems and got bought out by GR.

Same. For AC:WW in my case.
Uh, I was on Nintendo one day, thought I'd join for God knows what. I checked out the community. Lurked a lot, tried making long posts once in a blue moon, but failed. I finally learned of the Goomba rule, which mad me off. I was a cappy after three months of being a goomba.
COMMUNITY
WHAT'S THAT
*click*
holy crap dis is better dan gamefackz
I saw it in NP, and I thought "whoa, it must be cool to be a Sage."
Sad truth :P

It's kinda funny, because being a Sage had no benifits. :D
I wanted to join camp hyrule 05.
I read about it nintendo power and found out I had to join this "Nsider Forums" to do camp hyrule. Then I got addicted.
I was bored one day
Why'd I join oldisder? Boredom...

Is this "der" and why is he old?
Nintendo power Ad.
I was a member on the Nintendo.com site and saw they had a forum so I signed up.
I was looking up LoZ comics, and it brought me to that Banjo guy's comics on the forums. I thought they were funny, and I read them for about a year before I actually even considered joining the site. Eventually, I re-found the forums when I was seeing what Community was for Nintendo.com. I was brought to Oldsider and realized it was the same place that Banjo guy made his comics. So, I joined, posted, blah, blah, blah... I wanted to be a Sage, actually XD. The rest is history, kinda, sorta, not really.
Bordeom really. I signed up to register a game, and yeah.
Lol, I have the same pin that they used to give Sages. :D
I bought it at Nintendo World.
oddly enough, i think i found it the same exact way you did J_J

Mine is the same exact reason... I never thought I would have grown attached to the forum.
That smash bros brawl character suggestion thread is what made me joined back at 06 of summer and that SEGA thread that Nayrman made
joined Nsider because I like Nintendo
joined NSF because Nsider died
I joined because I needed Tech Support.
I join here because a friend told my brother about it and my brother told me.
I could of joined Nsider Wayyyyyyyyyyyy before I really joined in the year of... uhh..... 2006? Thats when I joined? I forgot... -_-
But anyway, I joined because my friend told me about it. His Oldsider screen name was... Kumamon or something like that... Him and I both were really excited about the game SSBB, and then the Nintendo Wii.
So I joined to express my excitement.
Joined up last summer, looked around my nintendo power magazine, got online. Then joined up.
simple? YES
XD
NSider;
Come to become a Sage and get free stuff.
Stay to make another failed attempt at it.
I was looking for help to fix my TV, which had blown a tube, so the colors were way intercourse ed up. So I was like "o hay a nintendo forum lets join lol"
I joined because I wanted to register games for the LOZ:Collector's edition.
I didn't really post until months later, even then I was mainly lurking until the summer of 07'.

I remember lurking a lot too. I didn't even log into my account until three months later(rememberred the account), as I didn't know I could post in those two boards as a Goomba. I got active in the summer of '06, I believe. I never attended a Camp Hyrule because I was away in North Carolina both years, with the cousins that kept me from going to the Celebi and Mew Pokemon events.
Your mom OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Tell her I need my belt back =]
Well, originally, my goal was to work my way up to sage so I could get that uber-cool triforce pin from NOA Andy, but, after a 2 months or so, I could care less. :D
