I'm sure someone has made this thread before, but I don't wanna bump a dead thread and I don't wanna hunt for it to bump even if i could so...
How did you find TBT?
I was on Tumblr looking for a villager when I found that animal crossing confessions site and people were complaining about TBT. So I googled TBT, and found The Bell Tree Forums. I was like "okay". I was already a member on Gamfaqs or some other site I think. It was dying, though so I was looking for somewhere to play my new game and get help. I figured this: "Not everyone will be happy with a place, so why not give it a shot." and I love it here.
I actually have no clue. I think I just stumbled upon it one day while looking up Animal Crossing stuff on my phone. My mom wouldn't let me get an account because she was scared about the people here and she didn't know how they would treat me, she's a bit overprotective. So I stalked the forums for about a year or so and I was finally able to get an account.
I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but I found it through GameFAQs. I'd heard multiple people there mention the forums, and I thought, "Sounds like a decent place. I should check it out." So I did so, liked the community, and joined.
I used to browse Animal Xing Ahead and I was linked to this place once because it was in the midst of a flame war. I saw how rude everyone was and thought "I'll never go back here again!".
I just bought ACNL and I wanted to join a community who also plays animal crossing so I googled Animal Crossing Forum and this place popped up and it had a better outline and design than the rest plus it was more popular so I joined
Through some friends over at Gaiaonline. They suggested me it so I could try get some dream villagers way back. And i stayed even though I don't play the NL game anymore.
There was a post on tumblr about TBT the day ACNL came out, so I joined and completely forgot about the account for like a year until I wanted to give away a villager, and I came here.
