]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=83709 2012-09-22T11:47:51 -05.00 smeagolsama 67 I'm 30 years old and sometimes when I find something or see something here or anywhere for that matter that excites me I forget that I'm a 30 year old with 2 kids and my inner kid comes out and I just want to share my enthusiasm with you as this is probably the most active and knowledgeable site for this hobby I have seen. In fact I regret not joining sooner to take advantage of the knowledge and the items you guys have access to.

This is a passion that stems from childhood,and we are all big kids just wanting to share the sheer joy of their memories, collections or neat finds, to limit access to this community would be a shame. I also dont want to come off as an ass but the mere suggestion shows ignorance and eliteism that shouldn't exist here. And it also gives me the impression that who ever supports this idea that they want to be part of some kind of forum "clique" that looks down on newer users. This is a hobby that requires a community like this, you cant find everything in the wild and you need others to help you for whatever your end goal is for your collection.

I have joined other forums in the past and I assume others have shared the same sentiment, its a real turn off so I stopped contributing. From the threads I have posted in already and others I have read its seems this is more of a family not a high school full of different groups and classes of users. It should stay that way as its the reason I decided to join.

I know I am a newer user and if I came off as brash as this is my opinion not directed at anyone solely, I'm sorry if it offends anyone its just like I said, I have been in that kind of forum culture and it sucks, and I'd like to be here for the long haul as I dont see me giving this hobby up anytime soon and look forward to sharing and chatting with you all. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=83709 2012-09-14T23:01:36 -05.00 smeagolsama 67 Originally posted by: SamSpade

To give an example, Sega 16 lets you register but it took no joke, months to get my account activated. It makes you feel that they could care less that you want to be a part of their community and it sends a bad impression.
The same thing happened to me at Sega-16. It even got to the point where it took so long to get it activated, my account was automatically deleted.

Apparently there's a thread on the site that's used for remind the admins to approve the new-member queue. It took someone else with a decent reputation posting in there before I was able to get my account activated. What a pain in the ass!

I was browsing NA long before I signed up and that's not fair.

You guys are big meanies...
