General Gaming 13th Anniversary for D1P?

[BuckFly]

Man, I am the guy who used to keep track of this. 
 

I’m as old as dirt.

 

if so Happy Anniversary and congrats to all, especially those of us here since…well…you guessed it, Day 1.

The D1P didn’t come on day 1. We had to figure out it was due to a bad cartridge.

Crazy how time flies. It was actually my twin brother that set this up. We used to post at different times then I became the primary user. 

[BuckFly]

Those days on boards.  The aughts, before here…hate to be that guy, but those were the days. Many of us from IGN, many from other places.

 

Then here the internal fights on how this place should be run.  The pettiness.  The hot topics.  The gaming. The charity events. The current events. 
 

Good times.

Has it been so long? Man that makes me feel old. lol

I wish I could remember who everyone was on IGN. 

[DarkStar189]

I remember things falling apart at IGN and I don’t quite remember who, but someone sent me a message about coming over to Bad Cartridge. I remember reading it on a plane ride to Florida.

I've been best3444 since 2001 on IGN. The only user from here that I remember from IGN is @EternallDarkness.

I was deathbypika back on IGN. Eons ago. 

 

Also, wow. 13 years. The Handheld Boards were never quite the same after the Vita died. The 3DS vs Vita debates were classic internet nerd garbage that...for better or worse? Don't really exist anymore.

You don't remember @Fieldy Snutz for his NFL 2k hype?

Right!

[best3444]

I'm trying to remember the user that brought from IGN to here. 

 

@CastlevaniaNut18 was invited by the same person. Do you remember his name? Drawing a blank.

Yes. What was his name? 

[best3444]

It was Seth. I remembered. 

[CitizenVectron]

Time to reboot as D1P: The Next Generation.

[chakoo]

What a great way to feel old. =(

I'm also an old IGN guy, was even a mod of the pocket board, but I don't remember if I was nexis2600, Subbie or Chakoo. =/

God the amount of times someone (or just dean) tried to tag me as being just a sony fanboy during that time. They finally shut up when I started to amass a hoard of 3ds LEs, lol. 

[stepee]

omg I forgot about @AndrewDean84

similar story for me, minus the plane ride to Florida. The various message boards were on the decline population wise. So I tried out Bad Cartridge while still being on IGN and eventually just stopped going to IGN.

I remember ED too, mainly from the GameCube general board, though I think he was active on the PS2 and Xbox general boards too. 
 

I’ve always had this name on IGN too. I was probably most active on the MGS board, but also was quite active on the console general boards and the Icon (avatar) board. The icon board and community was always an interesting one and it was so neat seeing icons made for the IGN forums get used elsewhere on the internet. Sometimes it wasn’t so obvious, but when somebody used an Icon that had the gradient to blend into the IGN’s gray on a forum that uses white backgrounds it was very very obvious. 
 

comparative in size to the internet, the IGN forums were absolutely massive back in the early 2000s. Bad Cartridge and D1P has never seen the insanity of the traffic boom from E3, though there were times we saw a nice bump here too.

   That's how I got here too. I've never had a different name either anywhere except I think Reddit where it's MrHardAct. Sony, Xbox, Nintendo & Steam always HardAct. Makes it simple. IGN around E3 was mad crazy times. Miss the days as a few have said as an avid gamer I'm pretty old!

[Keyser_Soze]

I don't remember @EternallDarkness

 

Who was that again?

Same name on IGN. Maybe I’m remember it wrong, but best known for buying every game that came out.

Sounds like a fake Harvest Moon fan and some guy who really likes Advent Rising. What a loser!

[Biggie]

I can't really remember how I got here. I know I lurked on Bad Cartridge for a while but what ever the reason for me showing up here you are all very lucky to have me.

Yes! That was it. 

[ShreddieMercury]

I was on the IGN boards probably mid-2000's but do not remember my account name.  I've been here since maybe 2011, though it was called Bad Cartridge.
