How did you discover GameTavern? [Archive]

How did you discover GameTavern? Did a friend refer you, see GameTavern on a search engine, moved when NDose closed down, or something else?

I discovered GameTavern by poking around NDose's forums right before the site closed, saw all the topics about AdvanceGB and GameTavern, liked GameTavern better, and I started posting here.. well, there's a story a lot longer behind that.. but I'll type it up later.

How did you get here?

I found a link to N-Dose from IGN. I was a guest there for 3 or 4 months, something like that. Then everyone was talking about N-Dose shutting down and people started talking about GT and AdvanceGB. I gave both a chance, but liked this place better. So I stayed and soon became a member.

I rememer I was at Nintendose for at least 6 months or more, than I kinda left for a couple of weeks, then came back. And when I came back, I realised it was closing down soon and thats when I saw the thread about AGD and GT and I thought GT sounded cooler, and I wasnt really into Gameboy much, so I picked GT. End of story.

I can't remember how I found ND.net, but I went to NDose from there. Then, I went away for a while because of school and who else knows but I forgot about the forums. Then, one day I noticed the link in my favorites list and clicked on it. Wait a second, I thought. This isn't NDose. I was lost as to what to do so I gave up.

In September of 2001, Breakabone who was on my AIM list from NDose IM'd me and informed me that NDose had shut down. Then, he informed me that most of the old board nuts were here. I followed the link and signed up immediately. :D

I found the Nintendose forums after I posted a few posts in a really really boring Dolphin forum. I guess it was called something like... I don't remember. I'm sure I followed a link!

Went looking for info on Nintendo Dolphin.

Found NintendoDolphin.net.

ND.net set up NDose without telling anyone and one forum member happened to find it and I saw the site before his topic was shut down.

Then they officially announced NDose and everyone goes there.

NDose hooks up with IGN sending a floodhold of newbies to the Dose.

At the time of the Great Newbie Migration I left a moderating job at NDose to concentrate more at Nintendo Force/Nintentrix/CubeSource.

I later came back to NDose seeing crazed newbies up the wazoo.

Aziz then abandoned the site and it turned into a madhouse with the brand new GT and AGB trying to grab onto the NDose members.

I, myself, plugged CubeSource. :D

When I first viewed GT it looked terrible. Bunch of newbies from NDose and hardly any original members.

Once again I went back to CubeSource.

After a while for who knows what reason I came back and reregistered under the name Danchastu among about 7 other names.

And so the story begins...

I found GT from NintenDose. I was at NDose for about a month I believe. I think I only racked up about 200 posts, then GT and AGB came along. I signed up for both, and liked GT much better. And, here I am now!

I was introduced to Nintendose through a Moderator here at GameTavern. I joined AGB first since it opened earlier to see where everyone was. When GameTavern opened up, I joined there also and found myself more happy with the general look of everything, and well, here am now. :D

---> I started at the Yahoo! Nintendo clubs (multiple ones), which are pretty much still there, but trying to have a conversation with those people hurts your head

---> Someone in Yahoo! Yoshi Club refered me to the forums at NintendoDolphin.net

---> NintendoDolphin.net was still fairly new, very few topics, very few posts; then they completely erased all topics when it was just getting better, and I think I left for awhile after that as the amount of topics was again limited

---> NintendoDolphin.net eventually became much more popular, and history was born

---> First ideas were thought of for the Purple Monkey Dishwasher Clan (PMDC), technically the first Online Clan for the Gamecube :roll:

---> Nintendose somehow appeared (something about Nintendo taking the rights of NintendoDolphin.net?) and everyone migrated, PMDC ideas somewhat lost or weakened in the time

---> More popularity (IGN made them an affiliate, I believe) and more newbies, and a lot of the newbies then are probably considered veterans now

---> Eventually PMDC arises again and it's own section of the Nintendose forum is made; more leadership

---> Time goes on, Aziz leaves, there's some mess, lack of funds or leadership or some stuff, GT and AGB eventually formed

---> Some big fight between Skouby and CamFu at some point, Skouby leaves and gets a life seperate from the internet life, seems happy

---> PMDC moves to AGB, GameTRAC created at GT

---> PMDC makes site at AGB, but again loses its fire and only remnants are left now

---> I care very little for GameTRAC so I don't know what's going on with that ;)

thehtownpoption was my original name at NintendoDolphin.net, but I eventually changed to manasecret. However many knew me as only db which I used to put at the end of my posts, and now I'm back to my roots as thehtownpoption. :D

Remembering my sad, sad life from the past few years is kinda fun... :roll:

Well let's see.. It all started one foggy X-Mas eve.. er wrong story

It was in early Jan of 2000 (Damn it's been over 2 years.. YIKes)

Well I was extremely bored..And decided to look up info on this Nintendo Dolphin which I remembered faintly hearing about

I searched thru Yahoo! and found some.. (Still have most of them bookmarked even though the majoirty of them are out of business)

Well I discovered NintendoDolphin.net.. not the biggest of best Dolphin site, but the only one with a really active forum...

So I just watched the sites for a few months (Was never really into forums and still am not really into them)... Finally registered in who knows what month..as I believe I was DaGreatDolphin (And ofcourse the beginning of my great spelling career)

So that lasted for a short time before Nintendose came to be after something with Nintendo taking the trademark or something like that..Nintendose came.... It was pretty cool... I knew I was DaGreatDolphin there and that..and only one of my threads stand out there.. My Gif Contest with SuperMarioBros6.. I believe that was his name.. posted all types of stuff..

Well then Crash told me about GT.. and I got a mod spot for coming (That lasted about 3 weeks before some problems arised)
I registered first as PenguinDaGreat.. went thru a dry period where I didn't post for some time.. Came back found out that GT was hacked.. had to re-register...

Thinking it was time to change from the Penguin gimmick..I came up with a new name.. And that gives rise to BreakABone and the story unfolds from there

Went surfing for Nintendo Dolphin, just like CanMan did.

Saw NintendoDolphin.net.

Went to that site every other day, but never signed up until right before the NDose migration.

Signed up late in the ND life (around September 2k, I think), and left after finding a "NDose is dead" topic in FYEO....

Chatted with Skoub several times on what the hell happened at ND, and gave up and signed up at GT and AGB.

Still post at GT (somewhat), and just recently "reposted" at AGB (my post count is like 30 now there)....

So that's that. Now ND.net and XBA are a different story...

i discovered it when I MADE IT. Cameron came up with the name, we were supposed to have it designed by a guy who "knew what he was doing" he did not, he was a retard (none of you know him). So later I designed it with the help of no frontpage/dreamweaver, and it sucked major @$$. (some of you remember). It was a sword, which over it hung a brown cloth, and that's where all the news was. yeah, it blew.

Oh yeah, you and Cam... hmm....wonder whatever happenned to Aziz... not really though...
But yeah... I've been here since NDose as my older post says, and I consider myself a lurker, I do real posts even though I don't post very often.

and shooter, he was the founder of GT's old gaming clan, GameTrac, but then he turned into an idiot... yeah...

Yep, that's how I got here as well, MechaDragon and Stonecutter. And about GCC_Clone, I see him occasionally on msn...and I also see Mr.Nobody on AIM. I guess they both don't come here that much anymore...because they either forgot or don't want to.
