I believe mine was not too long after finishing Wind Waker in 2004 and I made a topic "rating" the ending.

Yes. It was on the Ocarina of Time board.

I made a topic asking what tunic was everyone's favourite or something and the first response was "your mom".

It was something on the Diablo II boards, long since forgotten what it was. Probably asking for Paladin build suggestions or something.

That would be back in 2000.

I made my account because I was excited for the Wii and smash bros. It was still called revolution at the time. I don't remember specifically what I posted about.

I don't remember things I did 10 minutes ago at times lol

Whatever it was it would've probably been on the Pokemon ORAS trading board since that's what originally prompted me to make an account.

Not the exact post but I know it was on the Kingdom Hearts 2 board in about 2006. Probably just asking about how to get some items I couldnt find or whatever.

Nope. 23 years is a long time, and I didn't attach enough emotional significance to making my first post to cement it as a long-term memory.

I do remember that I first came to PotD to weigh in on discussions around a site poll asking if users believed that video games caused violent behaviour, though, and that was in 2010-2011ish.

Maybe. I was first drawn to GameFAQs by a "Post your best Death Race score" topic on the F-Zero X board; it's entirely possible my first post was me posting my score.

Yeah something on the petit computer boards, but I really don't want to look because I was a kid and it would be painful.

Then I decided to argue with everyone on the Pokemon boards, because I just like arguing.

I know I was brought here by the FAQs. I used to use a site called the GIA for walkthroughs (and I think I started using that site back in the 90s when I needed a walkthrough for Riven). But it eventually closed, and I had to find a new site to get walkthroughs from, and I wound up here.

I used the site for about a year before I made an account. And I know I stuck to the game boards for a few months even then until I eventually wandered into PotD.

Yep, I even know when, as I made the account to be able to post. Thread on the Diablo 1 forum with somebody complaining about the inappropriate attire of succubi. I responded that they wouldn't make very credible succubi otherwise.

Nope lol.

But I do remember posting a lot on the LotR board when The Two Towers first released. But I think I had been on here before then under different accounts when I couldnt decide on a username lol.

Oldest that I have found is from 2012, but there definitely should be stuff older than that. No way I had an account for 12 years before I posted something.

While that wasn't my first reason for coming here (Tomb Raider FAQs), it was the first place I remember posting on the forums.

I am pretty sure I created my account originally with my school e-mail.

Then used my college e-mail.

Before eventually switching to my yahoo account.
