It's a continuation of a site started years ago that split in two. Plus the older site became affiliated with IGN back then and that's when the great newbie migration occurred.

Still pretty tiny though.

[Blade Runner]

I think most came from the ign link...

[Ginkasa]

People joined.... And posted....

[gekko]

It was the l33t skillz of gekko.

Well, actually, I was directed by a friend to join.

[Ginkasa]

Then you weren't most...

[Drunk Hobbit]

I just happened to type in nintendodolphin.net in my browser. :D

[fingersman]

Well actually I gotta give credit to Crash for starting the site after Nintendose when down....then I have to gave credit too Neo for making sure this site stayed up. :D

But all the members you see here stuck around or joined because of me. I mean I'm the most exciting guy at GT......what's not too like??? Who wouldn't want to be on the same forum as me?? :D j/k

Just tell your members to tell their friends and stuff and your site should get big in no time....of course you have to make the site exciting. ;):cool:

[quiet mike]

I typed dolphin on the google search and it gave amongst others a link to top 10 Nintendo Dolphin sites (you remember the top 10 craze ???). Anyways, there was for a while a race. The top place kept changing between Nintendolphin.com (it was another way to get to nintendodolphin.net) and Nintendo Nation daily. I Piked the first one and stuck with it.

[Dyne]

Well, at EGW, I have to go out manually and ask people to join... but I develop a friendship with them so I can trust them. Hehehe. Only the best!;)

...You just have to wait for a forum to get big. Start the spark by getting a few friends. Soon, they go to other forums and tell them about your site, and eventually a "web" will bring in lots of people. Plus you must have something that is unique. Gamingforce has it's amazing selection of audio. And look where it has gone. :) Trust me, I've done this forum thing for a very long time.

Its cause of ndose. Most people here that actually post a lot and make exceptionable post are from ndose. Other then that it was because my news skills was spread across the internet faster then an orgasm from gekko while playing SMS.

[Jonbo298]

This better not mean we will have something similar to what NDose had.
"The Great Newbie Migration":errr:

[GameKinG]

Dont worry about that, ndose was affiliated with IGN.

It was clearly my fanfics that drew in the huge crowds.

Oh wait, wrong forum. If you want to see those fanfics, you'll have to look at my signature. :D

[GameKinG]

Yeah, its a wonder how a mad man like PE would get so much power...

[Drunk Hobbit]

My third year.

[DeathsHand]

my third year too! I found it through yahoo or something :hmm:

I remember my first day at ND.net!..... Oh wait, no I don't... hmm....

But I remember saying stupid Sony-biased things as Mrhacx... then coming back shortly after as DeathsHand :D

yey...

[GameKinG]

I dont remember my first name...:(

[Ric]

I been here since the websites first month of existance. Thats a damn long time now.

Oh BTW Hi Dudes.

So anyway how did this place get big?

Well I would'nt say it was big but there sure as hell are some of the best forum members I ever met here, I hope we dont get too 'BIG' there will be too many idiots and fanboys on the loose for my liking.

If however you consider this place big, well there's only one explanation, where else can you have one of my famous Cacti Beers?

Speaking of which:

Did you and I go to the same forums??:confused:

Well I guess I got the beat down because I made a topic stating this site felt like home.....then the flaming started....well ok no one really flamed me ;) ( I mean who would want to do that to nice little old me?? ;) ) but I guess they where a little offended that I was calling GT home when Nintendose had just shut down.

BTW what happend to surfer4life?? Did I spell his name right?

Yes, I remember you as Mrhacx. You were a real jerk. :D

[GameKinG]

Not much change there...;)


I kid, I kid...

[D-Man]

Haha, I'd like to know what was my first post back at ND.net .... must have been something really stupid :D

The people I remember the most from that time are Camfu, Monkey, DC2k, DCD, dolphaholic, ghetto, vin, DH, bobcat... then came people like E_Petit, Fez, cubedojo, Xantar, Zen

I think Zen had another name before he changed it when he got the Duck Hunt dog in his sig, it had Vegeta in it I think... anyone remember?
