How did you find Nsider?

GreatGonzales106 · June 10, 2009, 04:04:43 PM

Wow, it seems like I was on NSider before most of you. I started on the forums in mid 2006. Although I had signed up for My Nintendo in 2004, I didn't know what the forums were until around 2006, but I was scared because I was only 12 years old and didn't know what would happen if I joined. So I browsed for a while, and one day I found something and just impulsively tried to reply to it. It didn't work because I needed to sign up, so I did.

I wanted to register my consoles and games to get free wallpapers or something like that and saw forums bingo

I don't want to say too much, but through my brother I guess....I don't know how to say it without going into too much detail...

Nintendo Power community page in 2004. I thought it sounded interesting, but I waited until after my birthday to register because I actually thought I had to take COPPA seriously. Ah well.

I never thought COPPA was an extremely big deal. I was even too lazy to fill out the form. As long as you can handle a 13+ site with at least and ounce of maturity, then you should be able to register. However, if it's your first forum, you probably won't have an ounce of maturity to begin with. Or at least in my case. :P

I thought you had to sign up to get stuff for the Animal Crossing: Wild World downloadable content. I found NSider, left because I was a Goomba, saw that you could become a sage, ran back to it. Really stupid looking back on it. :|

Joined the forums in June 2004 out of curiosity and to brag about how good my gaming skills were 'cause I was a stupid intercourse ing 14 year old.

I started off bad.

No no no, the thread maker wants to know how you found Old Sider in the 1st place, not finding this place after it closed. :P

For whatever reason, on Christmas Eve of 2005 (wow), I registered my Mario Kart DS, or something. I guess I wanted to play online. After finding out you couldn't share friend codes on Nsider, I was mad and then found a link to the original Friend Code Database (nostalgia bomb...). It remains my only real niche in the forum world. I shall continue to follow it faithfully.

And yeah, I also posted on Oldsider 2 times.

Why didn't you just do what most people did and share FC's through PM's?

KingBoo · June 10, 2009, 08:50:29 PM

Neeentendo Powah.

I dunno. I really had no experience with forums until then. Plus, I hated Oldsider cuz it was too crowded, and I couldn't make my own avatar, and I just wouldn't have wanted to use the forum anyway.

The size/operation of all the FCDs has been perfect for me.
