Maybe you've just realized, but there has been a sudden TIDAL WAVE of newcomers here... Users with less than 50 posts are everywhere, and made me realize for how much time I've been around here. And it also makes me miss some awesome people... :(

There's been quite some events since my now almost legendary (I hope so) Reggie avatar! :lol:

Anyway, that's it, time sure flows. So, I've made this little poll to check how this board has evolved since back when the "Revolution" was revealed. I hope to see all old timers gathered here! :cry: Let's share teh memories! :D

I guess I've been here for a while. I was reading before I was posting, back when I first got this account, but I've been posting consistently since June of '07 (When I finally got a Wii).

Actually, I've kind of gone back to the old days, because I read more than I post now. Just not much to talk about anymore...

Oh, by the way, Air Wolf, how is it that you've been here longer than me, and have posted a lot more than me, yet you're only a level 22?

I think about the time they announced SPM and TP being on the Revolution. So I guess around the time the Cube really lost it's oomph. We could all actually check by viewing our posting history. :P I think I might do that....just to see all the lame comments I made. EDIT: I guess there's a limit to how far back your posting history goes - which makes sense - because I know I posted frequently in the DS forums before coming here and I can't find any of them. :(

I don't think that's how it works, since all moderation is done by real people and not some stupid warn system. Only if you do something outrageous or too much stuff in little time.

This is even more off-topic than this off-topic thread, but AG, you need to update your blog by sharing with us your SNES collection...also, add a "Top 10 SNES Games" section on it.

That is all.

I dont have a SNES collection... but my NES collection has grown since I posted the blog...Ive gotten several games, an NES Top Loader, and there is guy I should buy a U-Force from off of craigs list here pretty soon.

Ive been tempted several times to get a SNES collection going but heck my Wii collection has already taken a pretty big hit from what it would be if I didnt spend so much of my spending cash on NES stuff.

I got incredibly lucky with my SNES collection. My dad worked at a thrift store for a while, and basically he got first dibs on anything that came into the store. One day, I was working, and my dad called me with the following message: "[Insert my real name here], there are a bunch of Super Nintendo games here, I put them on hold for you."

So, after telling my boss that I felt sick, I headed over to the store, only to find that there were 30 SNES games (still in their boxes), just wating for me to pick them up.

I paid a total of $40 for the lot, which included the games, 2 systems and 4 controllers. Best "collectors" day of my life.

But back on off-topic, SNES games actually have a better dollar-per-game average than NES games. I highly recommend starting a collection, even if you're strapped for cash. It'll be worth it in the long run.

Late 05 - 06 I guess. I was closely following the controller mock ups and speculation on other forums shortly after the announcement.

Dunno how long exactly I've been here, but I remember when all those crazy rumors about the Revolution and how it was going to change video games as we know them. The detailed analyses of why it would include a 3D projector, the accusations of conspiracies and hidden messages, and those glorious (:?) Aries rumors, sending Nintendo fanatics into a frenzy; it was a crazy time in Nintendo history.

Thanks but no thanks bob... I already have a good collection of NES stuff and I would rather be the master of one trade than a Jack of all trades... I do buy SNES stuff, Atari stuff, and any other video game stuff I find pretty cheap but I usually just trade it to game stores or collectors for more NES stuff.

I was busy in college when the Wii forum (or Revolution forum, I guess) was created, so I wasn't really around Gamespot back then. I didn't get involved with it until about June of last year.

I've been posting on the forums since 1999, back when there was just the Nintendo forum. I bet the Dolphin speculation was better than the Revolution speculation. ;)

No way, the controller mock ups, the fakes, the devs hints, the speculation... All that until that glorious september 2005 day. A golden era I will never forget.

Since I joined in Dec. 06. My very first post was on these boards, although I forgot what topic it was. Brawl and E3 have brought way too many annoying new users. Many of them ask very ignorant questions about various fake games, and even more of them make the same exact topics multiple times a day.

I have been on the gamespot forums for longer but only been on the Wii forums since I got my Wii like 6 months ago.
