Greetings,

I am well aware of the newbie board for posts such as these. I decided not to use it, because "newbie" isn't as accurate a description as "longtime absentee", so I guess this would be a reintroduction thread. If Acmlm, Yiffy Kitten, and others I don't remember feel fit to move this thread over to the Newbie forum, so be it.

For those of you who don't know, I first came to these boards...I don't even know when at this point, though I would venture to say early 2002. I tend to go from hobby to hobby, and at that point, though hanging out on the boards for awhile, I learned a bit about ROM hacking. The emphasis here is on "a bit"...working a bit with Sonic 2, I came to realize that maybe designing video games ISN'T what I want to do for a living, not that that was ever a realistic goal anyway (New England being the hotbed for video game development that it is.

I actually stayed for a decent period, making some 1550 posts before up and leaving for no particular reason. Every now and again, I would pop in to the boards, check the ranks, and find (Inactive: 1) next to where I should have been. No big deal, and I never contacted Acmlm to find out what the matter was, so I left it at that.

As I'm sure some of you are aware, recently GameFAQs made a transition to new board code, as well as some other changes. Suffice to say that I'm being VERY generous when I use the word "transition"...the way the changes were handled, as well as difficulty with logging into my main GameFAQs account, caused me to up and leave the boards after four-plus years (If anyone here is registered there, my name may still be on the highest karma list), just like that.

Having hours of free time suddenly granted to me, I decided I needed to fill that time somehow. I had gotten a few posts in my journal from people here asking what happened to me. And so....I find myself back here, apparently in the wake of a fresh start for the boards. All the better, I say.

So, about me...my primary hobby is music, as noted in my signature. I consider myself a bass player--my avatar, which I have the strange feeling will just show "Image hosted by Angelfire," is supposed to depict stick-figure me holding a 6-string bass--though I suppose I can play guitar well enough to get by as well. I'm presently going to college, looking to major in Computer Science while minoring in Music, and half-assedly searching for a job.

So, uh, hi.

Um, welcome back. Don't claim you're psychic, can blow up things with your mind, and don't try to recreate NES songs with your voice. And re-read the FAQ, because some rules might have changed since you first came. Anyway, welcome back, again.

I'm not labelling you a n00b in the slightest...it's just I'd rather keep these threads in that forum just for the sheer fact that it's better to keep them there and that they're basically introduction and reintroduction threads alike, no disrespect whatoever, and welcome back.

Did you ever think to check his bio mayhap?

Hmm, maybe wite would come back if he knew Emptyeye is here now.

Hiryuu: Understood completely, and no disrespect taken. I actually bounced back and forth about whether to put it here or an the General Forum. As mentioned in the original post, I went with general for the reasons stated there...apparently incorrectly. Oh well.

Legion: I would hardly call myself old-school, nor a legend. Rydain posted once or twice in my journal as well asking where I went. In any event, it's good to be back.

And the funny thing about my music is that I consider what's on my page now, with the exception of "Time Marches On", to be terrible. Anyway, at the moment I'm attempting to explore free ways to improve the production quality of my music, being that I'd like to actually charge for it at some point as a sort of side job.

EDIT (Probably won't be the last): Thanks Angel.
And Kefka, Kirby's Adventure does indeed rule.

Well, you see, it is so awesome, that I've decided to hack it. Which is why I've been overly obsessed with it lately

Ah, Kiwibonga, how's it going?
I should point out that I found these boards by way of the Kiwibonga boards some time back (Incidentally, I remembered a string a posts that I made on those boards while waiting for one of the first episodes of 24 to come on; that was what allowed me to place a relative timeframe on my arrival here).

Good luck with the hack, Kefka. If you so much as change even one level, you'll have made it farther than I ever did with Sonic 2. Guess I lack the patience for that sort of thing.

YAAAAAAY. Someone SMART! ^___^

Welcome back to the board.

(I'm having trouble logging into GameFAQs too... can't do it at all on IE, but the boards work fine with Mozilla Firefox.)

The new Gamefaqs layout is horrid.

But my cookie from before is still working and I'm using IE.

My login troubles transcend browser..I tried with IE on two different computers, and Firefox with one.

I actually succeeded in logging in all of one time (In Firefox), at which point none of the boards would load. Exiting and restarting firefox logged me out, at which point I couldn't get back in.

I should point out I had the login problem in the beta, and when they went to the new code, I logged out in an effort to fix the problem where my posts were disappearing into thin air. Whoops.

The layout was initially less-than-attractive, but I've basically grown used to it now. What turned me off from the boards was the fact that the administrations of two websites somehow failed to see basic issues that they should've addressed (The Gamespot user's ability to edit posts, for instance) before going to live code. The fact that they fixed these issues means little to me; my thought is that if they dropped the ball this badly once, they're liable to do it again (As I said, it wasn't the changes themselves, it was how they were implemented).

And whether I'm smart is another matter altogether, but thanks for the welcome back anyway Colleen.

Well... intelligent-sounding. That's definitely a plus around here these days, trust me.

I just get a blank page when I try to access the boards in IE. The GameFAQs logo is at the top with all the header features... and nothing else.

Gamefaqs works perfectly for me. Both in school and at home on Firefox.

Welcome back, we do need more old users. I was just lurking back then when you was active so you don't probably remember me, but I joined in the early 2003 as Gamefreak19.

I think I have seen your name on the memberlist a few times on the old board, Emptyeye... unless I have a bad memory.

Hmm.

I don't think I remember a Gamefreak 19, although certain memories (Most notably Yiffy Kitten [I think it was Yiffy Kitten] informing me that there was no such driver as "Kevin Newman") suggest that I was here for at least part of 2003, though it may have been 2002 as well.

And I fully intend to have fun here, don't worry.

I don't remember you, but my memory sucks so that might be it.
I had the id 1521 on the old board. Did I exist before or after you left? (If you can keep track of numbers and dates good )

Welcome back though. Did you have a customtitle on the old board?
