How did you get into TBT?

[WaileaNoRei]

I’m a newcomer - I was sinking deep deep into my obsession with ACNH and by May 2020 playing the game incessantly wasn’t enough. I also needed to obsessively discuss it. And that’s how (with help from google searches) I ended up here with all of you lovely people, on one of the best places on the internet.

I used to play a lot of NL, and one day I stumbled upon these forums while surfing the web and I figured I could make an account here to get some furniture and stuff that I wanted for my town. Another reason why I joined was because there was also an active thread there where you can request town tunes to be made from different music, and I wanted to see my favorite songs become little in-game jingles. (Thanks for being part of the community, kiwikenobi!)

After some inactivity that came from the loss of my N2DS, I returned months later, with plans to begin an island in NH called Westward. Actually, I wasn't as active as I am now when I was trying get the 5-star rating because at the time I was still concerned with getting what I needed. At some point I experienced burnout so I took a break from NH and the forums for a while.

And after completing almost everything there was to complete in Pokémon Scarlet (another game I have), I got bored and decided to return to NH to channel my love for the game (and especially for a certain main character from The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero). Subsequently I began to post more in The Bell Tree, and here I am. I think I'm gonna be active here for quite a while.

This is the only part of the Animal Crossing community I'll trust. I've made accounts on other websites like Nookazon and DodoCodes.com and got overwhelmed by their nature after a while. Everyone here in TBT is generous, active, and friendly, and I appreciate sharing the forums with you all!

I’m super new, I mainly wanted to trade/buy items for New Leaf. Thanks to everyone who helped out, btw!

That said, I’d like to stay around because I just vastly prefer forums to social media. I’ve always felt this way, even back when MySpace was the hot new thing lol

I’m very grateful these fora are still active and have so many features!

I joined at the beginning of 2015 to get the tokonoma and other items I couldn't find in ACNL, I don't remember how I found the site. I discovered more than just trading items, I also had a lot of fun with events and all other members.

I joined near the end of May in 2015. I honestly don’t remember much like how I found the site or what made me decide to join. I know at the time I probably was nervous about trading with people since I never did it before. I do remember the first friend I made here from trading; she no longer is active here though sadly.

If I recall correctly, someone on Tumblr mentioned the site so I checked it out. I like forums so I decided to stay. I'm really glad it's still here, even though I only drop by occasionally.

New Horizons had just released and I wanted to find other people to play the game with and after having good experiences on Pokemon forums wanted to try entering the Animal Crossing fandom.

I've only been here a few months but I was randomly searching online for places to do some more online New Leaf stuff when the server was still up. And for possible online stuff for New Horizons which I had just started. Other Animal Crossing places I came across seemed dead but this site is thriving. And there's lots of people here who like my other favorite Nintendo games as well. Also personally I prefer the format of a forum over other types of social sites, there aren't many active ones around these days. Wish I had found it sooner tbh
