I study social media and I'm curious about the Animal Crossing community!

Hello!

My name is Ben. I'm a social media manager and I've been working in the field of social for over 5 years now. Here are all my side accounts. I played Animal Crossing on the Gamecube in the early 2000's, but I never had the opportunity to play Animal Crossing with friends. I'm glad that New Horizons makes connecting with people so easy.

My fiancé and I have our own island, Cooper's Island. Someone stole my partner's Switch, so we have to share an island. Our native fruit is peaches and we're in the Southern Hemisphere. We're doing our best to shape things up, but our island is very much covered in ill-placed trees and very disorganized. We definitely have a lot of wood and flowers, though! I've posted the Friend Codes below. We'll open up our island to visitors often. We do time travel (but only because both of us are stuck inside during the quarantine), so if you'd prefer not to go to a town that does that, please don't!

Side note: if you find yourself trapped inside during the quarantine and unsure of where to find new content you would like, feel free to send me a private message and I can help you find content like music, videos, or stories that you would enjoy. If we're all stuck inside, we might as well take the opportunity to support some new artists. (For example, I know an author who's trying to get her book about vampires published right now, and she'd love some advance readers.)

If you're unsure of how to respond, I would love to hear about your experience with the Animal Crossing community! When did you join? How long have you been playing? What have your experiences been like with other players?

Whoops, forgot the Friend Codes!

great introduction there!
welcome :)

I started with New Leaf a couple of years ago, then bought Wild World. haven't really played a lot of WW but I'm thinking about restarting and giving it a try, but for now it'll be NH. it really does help during this quarantine thing going on.
 
Thank you! I've had... a lot of practice.

My friend left his copy of New Leaf over here and I've considered picking it up just to explore his town.

I do agree about this helping during the quarantine. I can't wait to add as many new friends as I can!
 
Welcome to TBT!

I started with Animal Crossing GameCube back in 2005, then joined this site in 2013 when Animal Crossing New Leaf came out. I made a lot of good memories here and also got a lot of help with my town back then. Now I’m here for New Horizons as well! :)
 
In my experience, the AC community is one of my favorite internet memories. I played Wild World when my in real life friend let me borrow her DS because I was curious on getting one for my birthday.

When New Leaf came out, I this community helped me advanced financially to fund my town, make it pretty, and get my favorite villagers. On tumblr, I don't even remember what year this was, but I made friends with people and I still keep in touch with one of them! On twitter, I befriended someone through animal crossing, too. Both friends, gosh, it's probably been more than five years. Granted their online friends, but we keep up through twitter and instagram and conversations :)
