Current Events > When did you make your account (or first post)? Let's reminisce

(+) Yeah! (+)

My first memory of being on these forums was when I didn't know what to do in Majora's Mask. I think it was in the Stone Temple, and I just had to talk to someone to figure out my problem.

Started trolling the WWE board back in 2005. I barely post anymore though

I remember making my first account some time back in like 2006 or so because I wanted to talk about Pokemon. You got laughed off at school if you admitted to still playing it unfortunately.

I will never forget my group of 3 friends that sat in the back of our science lab, 8th grade, secretly talking about Pokemon.

Edit: My girlfriend in the 8th grade was surprised that I liked Pokemon (she did too). And Power Rangers. Scandal!

This is still my one and only ever account here. I joined on Feb 11, 2005 when I wanted to chat on the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire boards.

I wonder if we ever interacted back then. Did you ever visit the social board?

I first came here in 2003 when I needed help on Digimon World 3. I migrated to the Digimon Social Board after beating the game and moved on to the Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Social Board after the game first came out. Ended up meeting some amazing friends back then who I still think about from time to time. Arch Dragon, Carlo Aquino, Yami Usagi, monkeyfetus, shinies members and a lot of others, way too many to count. One of my fondest memories with them is getting on an AIM chat when the show The 4400 came on. We all loved the show and couldn't stop talking about it.

I also spent a lot of time board hunting. I would just type in random numbers in the URL and when I'd find a board, I would report it to our HQ (hence the numbers in my sig).

Then I started coming to CE in late 2005 when I needed help with history homework. A lot has changed since then but I'll never forget how active this board used to get. You would make a topic at peak time and it would automatically be on the third or fourth page.

I honestly can't remember. I also don't recall how long I spent there as I would later migrate over to the Pro Wrestling board.

I got a quote in one of the Digimon card battle game FAQs. :)

The creation of my account coincided with the release of Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. I don't remember anything about creating it but that. I might have thought I'd need to ask for help with puzzles or something, idk.

Migrated to this site for cheats and FAQs after Gamesages became IGN.

Didn't really take notice of the boards until the War on Terror board became a highlight of the site. Pretty sure I made an account to post there.

Of course, found the game boards as well eventually. First one was probably Star Ocean: The Second Story, which was my main jam back then.

Don't remember what my first post was, but I believe I started on the Naruto Board.

Some of those users are on this board as well now, like @Guide and @AceMos.

Made my first account in May 2007 for help in Diamond. Couldn't find the Strength HM. I remember getting that account banned 4 days later for saying I was "11, almost 12". Then I made my 2nd account a month later and used that for years.

The first boards I remember posting on were Diablo 2 and Morrowind. I was using the FAQs well before I made an account.

i was an idiot on the ff boards

I made an account so I could discuss the crazy 2012 end of the world shit in the assassin's creed games

2007. Never used any kind of forum, social media, or message board before. But then I stumbled upon the trailer for Smash Bros Brawl and needed somewhere to gush. Pretty wild to think how in the dark I was back then. Despite burying my face in games since the age of 5 or 6, I kouldn't even tell you who Shigeru Miyamoto or Masahiro Sakurai were.

2003/2004

I thought guide creators were like celebrities lol. Especially that kirby(random string of numbers) guy who wrote all the Zelda guides.

My first account (so older than this one) was made either after FF8 or when FF9 came out.

Made this one the day after 9/11, specifically to get on here and LUE to talk about what was going on. Never left.

Made this account when Fallout 3 first came out. Funny how people couldnt find the button to get into Rivet City.

I believe I joined to go jump into the Culex lake thread on the original SMRPG board.

Most of my post count came from RP in a dragonball board series that went over 100 topics. It wasnt great RP, but it was fun

When I first started posting here I was reading ten messages per page and would post something not knowing that the topic had over 300 posts or whatever and would just be completely out of place

June 9th will make 18 years of being on gamefaqs.

Idk where or what my first post would have Ben, but probably on a Pokmon board

I initially started posting under a different account on the Smash Bros for Wii U board in 2011. I was 13 then. I had browsed the website for various game guides for several years before making an account.

This is my second or third account. My very first one was deleted on an account bet, I ain't no welcher. I can google and find posts from 16 years ago, but I can't see the creation date of it.

one day I might see that rank, if this site last that long

No idea, tbh. I first remember using this site for some Mega Man Zero 2 FAQs.

Started my account Feb 2010 but I know I was on the site before that, I remember printing out an entire FFXII faq at work, I worked 3rd shift and it must have been a slow night

I don't remember what my first posts were

I was hyped for Fable and wanted to talk about it somewhere other than just the official forums.

I've been coming here as long a I can remember but finally made an account in 2009 because I wanted to chat on the BC2 board before release.

I first came here looking for help with FFT, I made an account in 2003

Posting stuff on like tekken 3
