I was bored, so i decided to make this topic. Here, you post any reasons that made you decide to come and join GSSF. Was it to blow off steam? To post art? Was it recomended to to you by a freind? Ill start off i guess

I found this place by accident looking the location of my last djin. I noticed this had a forum page and decided to check it out. SoT's stoy (he was still writing it at the time) caught my attention imedietly. I read it over, thought it was great, and saw that there were more people on, and that they were replying to his story. So, i created an acount. didnt work, so made another one. After i had posted in Sot's fanfic, i decided to visit the TRT. Same thing happened. Mr.T made me luagh, and i wanted to tell him so. After that, it was "I wanna cool sig and avy like these guys." or "i wanna go up a few ranks."
So here i am today, asking you to reply to a topic I made

[TheEnglishman]

I remember someone making a post in the Nintendo europe forum (If people think GSSF has faboys, check that place out) which was about Golden Sun World. Unfortunately I made the smart choice of joining when the server test ended.

[Eugine]

I got GS and TLA when they were released, so I went to GS sites for guides when I need help or w/e. Eventually, GSS was created and for some reason it was the only GS site I'll visit regularly... waiting on updates.
Then Max created the forum, and I joined. The day it opened too. I'm so proud =)

Was a newbie when I joined though... GSSF was my first forum =)

Shall I move this to Off Topic?

[I'm Always BROKE]

Searching for Golden Sun on google. Lost this site quite some while, and always asked myself "Omfg where the **** it that GOOD Golden Sun site again??" while helplesly searching in my history map. :D Eventually I joined GSSF.

[Aquamarine]

I somehow discovered Golden Sun World(can't remember how though) and checked out its site. It looked really cool, but I needed more information about it, so I checked the GSW forums, which were in fact the GSSF forums.

I kept checking the GSW Feedback/Suggestions forum for a couple of days, and after I read almost everything there was, I decided to have a look around the other parts of the forum. After about two weeks of checking the place out I decided to join.

My reason was that I wanted to know some of the guys that would take part in GSW because it would be boring not knowing anybody. That was after the last server test had finished, but I thought GSW would reopen soon. Well, it was postponed many times, but in the end I got to like the forums and members, and I stayed for reasons other than GSW.

um, yeah. thats proboly were i should have put it in the first place huh? sure is nice to have a Mod covering up my noobish mistakes

this is also my first forum. but ive seen others since then, and ive gotta say, this is the best one ive been to. Great communty, orginized for easy use, and cool looking home page, as well as an interactive chat game on the horizon.

[PDM]

I was looking for that fan made GS game from some other website, and I stumbled upon GSSF.

I found the forums button (first forum, didn't know what it was.) and found people could talk to each other.

So I joined thinking I could ask "werrzzz dat gs game????"

I hadn't actually played Golden Sun at the time, and didn't wanna seem like an idiot, so I took the one name and move I could remember my friend telling me about. Piers, and Diamond Burg.

[Ironsight]

I always wondered what PDM stood for...

[PDM]

Piers Diamondberg Master. My original name.

I asked Max to ban me 'cause I didn't wanna come back, because I knew if I could come back I would. I guess you know how that ended up..

LOL, at the time, I was in the top 10 posters with like, 2178 posts. Now everyone has over 1k.

[Folcon]

It was SoT's fanic that brought me here. I was looking for GS fanfiction at the time and, well, here I am.

[Ironsight]

it seems that SoT is the only thing atracting new members here eh?

SoT and GSW I guess xD. Weird to see people are still joining because of GSW.

[Mallick]

No one here said GSW brought them here... excluding aqua, aqua doesn't count because he's a noob.

[Eugine]

Was talking about him lol. But you're no mind reader to know that, so my bad.

[Nosferatu]

I was looking for Golden Sun sprites, and got linked to GSW DURING the server test a while ago. So I joined during it.

[Toasty]

Honestly, I don't quite remember how I came to join the forums, but I do know that I had found GSS about two years before I joined. A friend of mine had introduced me to the series, and I ended up searching for something about the game. Can't remember what. But it took me about a year or two to notice the forum, and I ended up joining, though about a month after the server test.

GSSF was also my first forum, which might explain why I was so n00bish when I joined. So that's pretty much what happened.

[Sea of Time]

I've told this story before, but not in a while, so I'll relive it. After becoming a member of the NSider Forums and immediately becoming so addicted that my parents terminated the account, I was left without a forum to post on. After beating the first Golden Sun without the internet, I needed a lot of help to beat GS2. I believe I was looking at GSS' walkthrough when I came across the forum and decided to join. The rest is history.

[Toasty]

Now THAT'S addicted. I don't think that even I could be that addicted to a forum.

I find it a bit hard to picture you being addicted to a forum. Especially a fanboy forum.

[Ironsight]

You can almost here the swell of pride in SoT's posts as he reads how he's the reason some of us are here

[My Best Wishes]

My friend who first showed me GS told me years later about this GS type game. So I came to the site, went to the forums (my first as well, it seems to be the case around here) and I joined. Why I joined the forums I'm not quite sure.

I just went and read my first ever posts. Dam, 3 years is a long time. An ass load has changed since then. Mostly my spelling and grammer and realising that a forum is different to MSN.

[Ironsight]

If you think thats noobish, then remember my firts post? It was about cooking class. Now that i think about it, i never even introduced my self. no wonder i was ignored for the first few days :o

Oh well, my new sig and Avy, freinds list, plus my 5 stars show that ive come along way since the day after my last birthday

[Lemontime]

Lookin' for a walkthrough.
Cause I'm too dumb to finish the game myself.
:o

[Ironsight]

Its ok Lemon, we all cheat sometime. be it life, Death, or a children's video game

[Toasty]

Yeah.....there's no way I'd post my very first post here. But now that I've said that, someone'll probably go to the trouble of digging it up for me.

Just look for Toasty64. My first account.

However, being that much of a n00b allowed me to get the most improved member award. Woo!

Spoiler

SoT

sure was an

what date is GSSF awards on?

[Toasty]

Spoiler

SoT

was an angel compared to Anubis (A.K.A. Nemphtis). Anubis was the reincarnation of the devil's wife. Because the wives are always more eviler than the husbands.

And the awards usually take place some time in early to mid January if I remember correctly. There isn't really a specific date as far as I know, just a general time slot.

[Ironsight]

Im almosr glad i joined after he left, from what ive heard so far about him

[Toasty]

I've been criticized by him before. You get used to it, and as you become more seasond, he become's/became less of an ass. Decent guy once you get to know him, and get on his good side.

[Ironsight]

what happened to him, he doesnt seemed to have posted in a while

Him and another friend of his started up a 360 Clan, which has exapnded to all three consoles since. It's actually been around for a while. Maybe three or four years. But yeah, he spends his time there now. It's called Clan EDGE.

:o /stupidity
i knew i herd some one mention what happened to him somewhere

[Toasty]

Well it was only mentioned once, so it's not like you'd be stupid for not knowing. I only wouted myself because I was to lazy to explain it again. :o

[Caael]

Oh god, dont remind me about when I joined.

I was looking for somewhere to talk about Golden Sun, because I completed the first one, and wanted to know more about the second one.

edited for the sake of masculinity.

LOL. But hey, I can't judge. I was even worse than that!

[Caael]

Edited for the sake of dignity

[Eugine]

And I thought my first few posts were bad...

[Mallick]

Shut the **** up Toasty. Nemphtis wasn't bad at all.

[Caael]

I was like, what, 10? at the time. Dont judge me, most 10 year olds new to computers talk like that. My little brother does it.

I first found out about GSSF from Max before the forums were actually up and running. Since we were pretty tight back then, i was asked to be a mod (which i greatfully accepted =D yay!). Then a buncha stuff happened.
I gatta say that these are probably the only forums i've truely ever been strongly attached to. That's why i always find myself crawling back here after periods of time. This is like literally my internet "hometown" (actually the GS community in general) =') *sniff* It's where is ALL began for me =p

Ah well Julain, you joined even before the forum opened to the public >.<

[FlamingDuck]

I found Golden Sun REalm while looking for a GS site, and then Cinder posted a link to GSW during a server test, then I bookmarked it and checked for updates, and then after my old pwnsome forum died, I joined this one, and the Golden Age began...Not really. But my old forum rocked. There were like 8 members, and they all new each other from Minnesota...Oh well.

Haha, no wonder this topic looked so familiar. XD *pats Forte on the back*

Anyways, pretty much quoting from what I said in the other topic, I found this site when I was looking at other Golden Sun sites. I joined, since I LOVE Golden Sun. n.n;; I didn't start becoming active until after the first server test of GSW, during which I made some friends. =D

So many oldies here in this topic. :o Good to see y'all back.

[Folcon]

I remember when I first joined, I got so much grief from GD13. For some odd reason, he seem convinced I was a spambot. In reflection, it was kinda funny. It wasn't untill I finnaly figured out how to get an avatar, sig, and personal photo up that he finnaly stopped.

[FlamingDuck]

I'm not entirely sure you aren't a spambot yet. Anyway, that was because we just had a huge influx of them and you're name was pretty spambotty. Seriously, one came and made a topic saying they were from Singapore. What's the point of that?

[Wiflewood]

This was my first forum. TDW (TheDogWho), who I know in real life introduced me to it.

[R-dog]

I'm not sure if I count because I'm a noob, but... oh well!

I found this site back in seventh grade. I was playing Golden Sun for the second time then and found the blacksmith and djinn guides very useful. I then saw the GSW site and found out that I missed the sever test. I kept coming back to see if GSW was up and running, but never joined the forums because (if you'll believe it) I was even more noobish then than I am now. I was like, "O NOEZ A STALKER'S GONNA GET MEH OMG!!!" So, somewhat recently the voice of reason spoke to me, saying, "If you don't join the forums, you'll never find out when GSW is up."

So... tah-dah! Here I am.

I came here since I wanted to visit a pretty well-done forum with a different variety of forums that I could discuss stuff I've learned about. I seemed like a total random half-newbie, half-n00b when I was Zaffa, but then I changed around and became a little different, since I made myself leave a horrible mark on some people in AnimeLeague. Since then, I've never left GSSF, and I probably won't for a long time.

*****ES I WIN!

[InfiniteEcho]

I was searching for some kind of ultimate password in 2005. I found this site which had relatively good contents and a Password Generator Program.

[Toasty]

HOLY CRAP! WD's secret lover posted after like....a year! *coughfortecough*

So yeah. I'm kinda surprised so many old members, or for that matter, and at all, actually came and posted in this topic.



I'll bet anything that we've got a lot of lurkers on our hands.

[Xelina]

errr... My entry was rather recent and I'm sure you all haven't forgotten about the great GSAR flood a few months back right? XD;

Anyway, that was NOT my first time seeing GSS. I first saw it when I was a member of GSAR and noticed that it's 'parent' is GSS, so I checked it out, find out it was too much for me to take... (being a person who really really prefers her lurkerness) Was rather content with just watching it grow. I stop after GSAR closed. Never returned to check GSS out until GSL and other similiar attempts by Twit failed and I wonder back here again...

It seems I have a thing for half-empty forums... >3>;
Probably just that lots of member scares me off. Which also leads back to my preference of smaller group of people over large group of people.

But I'm sure you all is bored to sleep by now, so I shall just doodle on your faces, just for fun. =)

*doodles on you all 's face and ran away*

[Golden Legacy]

Great topic, very nostalgic...

I actually visited GSS for the first time in the second week it was opened. I had just beaten the first game then (I can't tell you how much I loved it), and was more or less looking for general "information" and fansites on it, and I came across this one.

It was strange though. Over the next few weeks, it was no longer the walkthroughs, guides, etc. that led me here - it was the community here. I watched (as a guest still) and read through the different topics, back in the day of the "classic" vets... Neo, Agatio, Izar, Sheba, Julian...

I decided to join not soon afterward as nothing more than a GS fanboy, but more to just get to know this community that seemed to have something that "clicked".


And here I am. GSSF has truly been a great time for me here, and this will always be my favorite online community ever.

[Split Infinity]

I made my way here while searching for a GS walkthrough. I was just aimlessly browsing my way around the site, and I happened to click on a small link labelled 'Forum', at which point I came into contact with a whole new world.

[Envy]

My reasoning is merely that I like joining forums. It was an obsession of mine a few months back. XD

Golden Sun is one of my favorite game series, and this site looked nice, so I decided to join the forum. However I do believe that I actually first found this site a few years back... I very rarely joined forums back then, though.

[Someone Else]

I'd been viewing GSSF for a while like GL did. I was viewing while stfuwierdos was flaming everybody. Maybe Eugine or GL will remember when that was, I'm not sure how old the community was then.

[Eugine]

yea xD. That was exciting. Too bad I can't go read his posts again to laugh >>

[Someone Else]

Here: http://www.goldensun-syndicate.net/forum/i...hp?showuser=284

I found it!

For a troll, some of the stuff he says is actually kind of smart and I agree with him on some stuff.

Which is scary.

[Eugine]

Damn, some of his posts were deleted. Still, wasn't he an agry kid?

[Someone Else]

If you were still a mod, you could've seen more. XP

Probably was a bored 15 year old.

I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Yeah, John's been a good friend of mine since Junior High, but back then he was always into going "against" what everybody else was into. So those few years ago, it was of course my obsession with GS and the first time I joined these forums, actually. He joined more out of spite and just to mess around here.

Man, some times eh? haha.

[Someone Else]

Wow, news to me. I had no idea you knew that guy. He seems to go against everything you believe in, religion, abortion, etc...

Unless he was kidding and it was the opposite of what he felt. XD

[Golden Legacy]

Hey, I live(d) in NYC, which has people of every different faith and beliefs you can imagine. John just happened to be one of those hardcore atheists (though as Eugine could tell, he's actually fairly intelligent and can defend his points well in life, as well as being well-informed).

heh, go figure.

[Nosferatu]

Oh god. I remember that guy. He was more of a pain in the ass then I'll ever be.

Too bad I missed out, It would be awsome to see the rest of his posts.

Well, I go to college now in Boston (which is only a four hour bus ride from NYC). Ironically though, the rest of my family moved down south to Georgia because my dad got a new job.

So while I'm living the college life here in Boston, I think of myself as having two other "homes" - Georgia, my "official" new home where my family is, and NYC, which is where I've spent nearly all of my 17 years, and where I have my closest friends and family friends here.

Heh, I'm actually going back to NY to stay with some old high school friends this Columbus Day weekend, I can't wait. :P

I've practically got two homes too. My "official" home where I am now, and on the other side of town where most of my friends live. I usually hang out there and I often sleep over at their places when I'm too drunk too tired to go back home.

[Ironsight]

^lol

I have two houses. One is my Dad's, and one is my Mom's. I take turns living at both houses each week, however I consider my actuall house to be my Mom's.

[redchi]

well my friend Cress Albane toll me about GSSF and since i play the first game i really love it so i made my self any account here

[Moonear]

I was searching for a way to beat the doom dragon, then I found a topic made by a member named Djinn. I wanted to comment about it, and then it all went down hil from there.

[Drizzy Drake]

I started playing GS:TLA, after having not played it since I beat it when it first came out, and no other site had pictures to help with the puzzles. Thne I saw this place had a forum, so I joined.

[Arkarian]

I played Goldensun and the Lost Age, loved both games. Someone I knew (know still) who I went to the same college as also liked them and during dinner we used to both just mooch about on the internet he found this place and pulled me into it too, about 4 years ago. When I left college I stopped coming until about a week ago when the same friend lasso'd me back in again :P.

[Gardna]

Oh well, honestly I have no idea. I thought that searching through my old posts would give me some clues, but it didn't help. It seems that I simply appeared out of nowhere :P

[Drizzy Drake]

Maybe you are God, and you just wanted to check out the websites your creations ahd created.

[Saturos S.]

Meh, I bought the game, joined this forum while looking for information, did a quadruple post then left for 2 months then became serious, kinda.

[Drizzy Drake]

Quadruple post, wow. You msut have been flamed for that.

Was a newbie when I joined though... GSSF was my first forum =)

Also, might I add that I always also a lurker at Isaac Revenge, the site GSS was before the merger. I was on board the GS bandwagon since it's creation =)
