Personally, I use Animal Crossing Community, as its Animal Crossing GameCube community is a lot bigger than here! (Don't worry, I still love the Bell Tree!)
If any of you guys use it, my username is ACGC144. Come say hi!
I'm trying reddit but I'm not exactly get warm fuzzies about it, I've tried a few others too, but they seem pretty hit and miss when it comes to connecting for trades and what not.
I browsed the ACNL forums on Neoseeker when I first started playing, but those died off within a year. Once the hype was over, activity and quality plummeted. I eventually went to the AC subreddits, and made a few trades there, but it just didn't feel like a traditional forum community. TBT isn't perfect, but it's the best place I've found.
this forum is very good it's the best kept forum of anything it's ever been about ever but sometimes i check the acnl reddit to look for villagers to adopt
I had no idea there were other Animal Crossing forums out there. I only use TBT and I think he's the best. I know him very little, but I really like it here.
The only other one I know of is ACC and I can't stand the layout and also heard pretty iffy things about their rules. This one always seemed more active too. On the rare occasion I couldn't find a villager/item here I just used tumblr. I'm not really interested in forums in general so it's kinda strange that I've used this one for as long as I have hahah
