I've always wondered how different members found the site and why they signed up.

A few years ago I bought some NES games off Kijiji. They guy I bought them off was really into collecting and had a printed copy of the ezine price guide. When he showed me it I had to know where he found it. He told me Nintendo Age, so the next day I download the ezine and the rest is history.

Whats your story?

I discovered NA only recently. Was looking for some stuff on my local CL and posted an ad. Got an instant reply from a guy in my town, and after making a couple trades and purchases, he told me about NA and Game Gavel since he noticed I was selling on eBay and recommended that I move over here. So...decided to check it out earlier this month and here I am! Really enjoying my time over here so far

Was searching for information on home brewing NES games and found this place through a good old google search. Have been loving it ever since (both the site and the torture of learning assembly language).

I was collecting locally, and ran into Jeff (Ugly_Monster), and he forwarded me to the site. I had seen a couple of the threads before, but decided to join after he bugged me a little more about it. Boy am I glad he did!!

People would reference it on Nesforums.com way back in '06-'07 when I started there. Eventually signed up here.

I accidentally met Laserman through Craigslist and he was so impressed with me that he begged me to join NA to make himself look good. Being the kind considerate person I am, I obliged him and have been here a year now.

Watched some random youtube vids of people's gameroom tours and they mentioned NintendoAge, so I figured I'd join too.

I've always been involved with automotive message boards and forums and really appreciated the wealth of knowledge/experience they offered so when I first got really heavy into collecting the first thing I did was to Google an NES forum. This was by far the most active and dedicated so I joined here first.

I was looking for a list of NES games on Google and I stumble upon this site. I'm so glad I did. I gain so much knowledge about games and some history about cheetamen 2 and what not. This place was great and mad some excellent deals. I never stay long on forums but this forum was different from the rest. So I stay.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Googled battery replacement on SNES carts, and it led me to ulasamosa's thread. I didn't use the service, but I do point people in his direction if they need it.
