TBT is celebrating the start of the Year of the Horse! Our latest event, TBT's Lunar New Year for 2026, is now underway! Meanwhile, we invite you to share your feedback for the forum in the February 2026 Survey. Thank you!
The term TBT confused me for the longest time, because I thought that someone was trying to use the forum itself as currency. Every time I think about it that way I get a little chuckle to myself because of how dumb it sounds. In the recent months I've started to use the term TBT over Bells (as I usually used) though, just because it's easier than confusing another person who consider Bells to be exclusive to Animal Crossing currency.
We should just call them "hugs". I'd be much happier forking over 4000 hugs for a choco cake, and exchanging 100 hugs for 5 million bells, etc. lol, I'm a hippie. Peace.
(Oh and you know how you're supposed to hug a tree? So it would be like hug a bell tree! Or something...idk)
