Why did you join TBT?

[oath2order]

I needed a new forum after ACC.

 

[Classygirl]

I kept having questions or looking topics up and it kept leading me here but as a viewer, and I decided I wanted to be a part of the community and help with sharing what I had learned in game or about along the way too. It was a great decision so many generous and kind people here. Surprisingly many with a lot in common with me as well.

And for above reason of poster above me, that is the only reason I hesitated...old experiences.

I lost my one and only perfect cherry when a villager moved on top of it the day after I planted it. Luckily I found this forum and someone was generous (and super awesome) enough to give me one. I like this place!

A cycler that I used to work with on ACC referred me to TBT, so I joined. I use both forums pretty often now, though I still use ACC a little more than I use TBT. I like both sites, though.

When I joined, I had already been on another ACNL site for a few months. I think one time I had a whole locker full of turnips and last minute of course, I was looking for a town to sell them in. I poked around and found TBT and the Train Station forum and someone was nice enough to let me in their town, even though I was new, no ratings, and totally lost about the system here.

After that, I was hesitant to really dig around here, because compared to the other site I was used to, this place looked really complicated and I had a hard time with navigation. But once I found Re-Tail, and started trading here, I started to get more familiar with the site.

I didn't get HARDCORE (lol) into it like I am now, until I started collecting collectibles and TBT, etc...that and the Easter event (because it was so fun, and also made me learn about a lot of things in the site I hadn't known about). And now I'm hooked.

Hehe, I like how everyone else (now that I read theirs) comes out and just says ACC. I was beating around the bush about it because I didn't want to hurt their feelings. But I don't know if they really care if we think TBT is superior. I still feel kind of bad about knocking ACC down. One thing for sure, you can sell items for more expensive there. XD

I bought "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" in August 2013. I did not have wireless at the time. I hooked up three months later. My having come across The Bell Tree Forums was a result of doing search engine and typing something along the likes "'Animal Crossing: New Leaf'—Forum Discussions." I checked out a couple other sites and this one. The Bell Tree Forums struck me as more eye-appealing and interesting to explore. I made the right decision.

AC:NL was a couple of days from coming out, and AC is much more fun when you've people to play it with - so I went hunting for the AC forum I lurked on back when AC:WW first came out.

 

[Fawning]

I can't remember exactly but I think when I first got the game I was just so excited and wanted to make friends on it and add people's FCs and I THINK I googled something along those lines and I got directed here!!

I joined because Lynn105, an in-real-life friend, told me to.
I had looked over her shoulder, at her iPad displaying TBT, and said:

"You like Animal Crossing?"
She turns around and says:
"wHY YES, DUH" (or something like that)
And then she told me to join, so I did.

i joined because i like animal crossing but i only found this site a few days ago

What'S ACC? Animal Crossing Community? Why is it so disliked? Is the community bad?

Well I can't speak for everyone, but me and my friend left because the mods on that site were constantly being parents towards the members and didn't make the place feel like a community. BTF, on the other hand, feels much more friendly and free.

Too make really close friends, but sadly it isnt happening.

You've only been here two and a half weeks. It takes a little longer than that to form close friendships. Be patient! And come check out our IRC channel (click the "Chat" button in the navigation bar) if you haven't already. I find it to be the best way to really get to know people on here.

Hmm.. I had absolutely no interest in Animal Crossing when I joined, which was ironically broken fairly quickly by M12/Malesretmit12. I went to school with him, dated him at one point, and loved watching him make signatures while we were in high school. I simply ended up joining the forum to be a part of the non-Animal Crossing community at the time, and made some really close friends pretty fast.

Back then the museum was fairly empty, and I had no trouble charging bells for commissions, or doing them for free because of how bad I was at art. It was a way different time when you could leave for two days and your thread would still be on page 1.

Anywho, even if I'm still not a huge part of the Animal Crossing 'gaming' side, I'm still here for making friends, helping out the staff, and using the site as somewhat of a mood stabilizer (hence going off a bit every now and then) so that I have a place to relax and enjoy when I feel it. Other times I want to be knee deep in mod work, and love every second of it, regardless of things you may have seen me say about hating it. I'm vastly sarcastic, and maybe when it can be figured out when I'm joking or not I can get back on the right path here.

When I joined tbt was extremely inactive. We had MAYBE 50 members constantly coming on but even fewer posted. I joined to liven up the place a little. It didn't work though, I hardly posted lol However, tbt grew and grew and I started to post more and more. I mainly joined tbt for the information on all games animal crossing because acc didn't look nice enough for me.

Yes, I remember there was a bit in 2011/2012 after the site move that it just died. It was very lonely but the community that was here was pretty tight and had a lot of fun with Mario Kart Mondays and all that.

Wow, this is actually so cool. I never knew that. I also thought m12 was gay, but either way, he made the signature I'm using right now. I also have 3 others of his.

I joined the forum in 2010 because Animal Xing Ahead, a fairly active forum at the time, had been hacked and the owner was too busy to put it back up. He wouldn't let anyone else do it because he had insane trust issues, according to some forum members. I remember being linked to posts here seeing flame wars going on and I distinctly remember Gnome cursing multiple trolls and all I thought was, "Wow, I'm never joining THIS forum!". But when AXA went down, I had nothing else to do. I joined it and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I was very immature at the time and not prepared. The users here were not as nice as AXA's and they would often harass me (I mean, I deserved it, but it's still wrong). But now I've almost been here 5 years. Joining was probably the best decision. I remember the good times with Phil and Ashwee in Zap Heroes :3

Yeah, hop on in! I did and I've made so many good friends on there.

He is. I'd like to think somewhere along the way I helped him figure some stuff out.
