Man... 10 years of GT (almost) Thats quite something really when you think about it. Over a third of my life. I was still at school when I signed up here, I found NDose in it's dying months an was led here, must have been, day 12 I signed up or something like that.

This calls for a

And yeah NDose lineage is coming up on 10 years, I believe I joined in like Dec 99/Jan 00, I don't even remember my name on NDose. Maybe it was just Dolphin.

Wasn't there a forum before Ndose? Not sure, i swear i remember there being three guises to GT. And after Ndose, didn't the forum split into two, GT and Advanced forums (maybe Advanced GB a name along those lines), anyone remember Advanced and where it maybe now (as in, still active).

On the topic, i don't think i was posting during this so-called hate shooter phase, i don't remember having a problem with him, many of those posts towards him on the past thread seem very childish.

I had a previous name of thehtownpoption. Wasn't that fun? Then I changed my name to something that made me feel like less of a douche and more of a nerd. Much better IMO.

But, Shooter? I hardly remember him. I've been off and on this forum and have never posted much anyway, but have always been slightly jealous of people that knew each other well on here.

Sad thing? I've been here since soon after the codename Nintendo Dolphin was announced, which according to this ancient IGN article, must have been sometime after May 4, 1999, and I have fewer posts than most new members that stick around get in a month.

Anyone know exactly when NintendoDolphin.net was first put up? We should celebrate it's tenth birthday whenever that is, which should be sometime soon.

Seriously mana, you were thehtownpoption? Hah, I never knew that

manasecret · 04-30-2009, 03:13 PM

Has the Bube ever had another name? Have you been in Turkey the whole time? (See, this is what I'm talking about, I've been here ten years and I still hardly know anyone.)

Bube · 04-30-2009, 03:27 PM

I had 2 other names besides Bube - Bub64 and Bube77, both registered because I had trouble logging in and had to register a new name to accept the login cookie

Weird times. Then everything went back to normal and I got Bube back

And yes, I've been in Turkey the whole time

manasecret · 04-30-2009, 04:55 PM

Sooo this is my completely ignorant guess of what life is like in Turkey compared to the U.S., but was having internet access common in Turkey back in 1999?

Bube · 04-30-2009, 05:37 PM

Definitely not as common, or cheap, as it was right now, but yes, it was common. I had been going online at home for 2 years before I found nintendodolphin.net.

Although it will probably never compare with the US, in both categories

holy shit.....it really has been 10 years.... kind of puts things into perspective.....

I don't remember what Shooter did to be so hated, but looking at past posts, I certainly did. It's scary I've been off and on this site for so long... Cojiro sounds vaguely familiar under anotehr name but been so long, I don't recall.

manasecret · 05-05-2009, 10:23 AM

NintendoDolphin.net was the earliest one I remember. As the story goes, Nintendo claimed copyright foul with that website's name, and under the legal pressure the site was moved to Nintendose.com.

It was ment to be a piss take actually. I tought it was funny. 'And knowing is half the battle' has a whole other meaning on this pic. I was not trying to redesign our logo, I just threw it together quickly for a laugh.
