I was trying to think of it but it's hard to come up with one, my TBT memories are from so long ago :)

Discovering TBT was really exciting, since most of us originally came from Nsider, Nintendo's official forums at the time, and everyone at TBT was big fans of Animal Crossing. And TBT was a much smaller, tight-knit community compared to Nsider, where we actually got to know one another.

When Animal Crossing Wild World came out for DS, it was the first time all of us at TBT could play together online, it was so much fun! There was so much excitement and anticipation, and when we finally got to visit each other's towns, it was so neat. Seems kind of crazy in 2021, but back in 2006 online play was totally new and exciting for Animal Crossing! :ROFLMAO:

I also fondly remember writing articles for the original Bell Tree website. I think Jeremy did most of the work building the site, Bulerias wrote a lot of content, I remember Justin and a few others helped out, too. I enjoyed writing game reviews for a while on the site.

I've also been able to meet up with a couple TBTers in real life after knowing each other for a few years on the forum. Those meetups were enjoyable... I don't think most of my friends would understand TBT, but fellow TBTers do, it's always fun to reminsce! :)
 
I can’t really say. I joined this forum a long time ago (keep in mind I was a completely different person) and left on bad terms. After that, I took a long hiatus only recently becoming active again. It wasn’t until the beginning of TBTWC that my activity started to rise. I participated to familiarize myself with the forums. So much time has passed since my hiatus that nobody really remembers what happened, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m thankful for that. It was important to me that I got a fresh start.

On a more positive note, I’ve had a more positive experience this time around. I think that’s what I value most here. I’m happy that my past really hadn’t been mentioned and I was able to have that fresh start. I’m just enjoying myself on an online forum that is still somewhat active. I prefer forums to social media definitely.

Compared to a lot of places on the internet nowadays, it's nice that overall TBT is a pretty positive place. Glad you're having a positive experience here!

Those sound like really awesome memories! I wish I had found this place back in the day for sure! I would love to be able to meet up with TBTers in real life, I've met so many wonderful people here and am close with a few. I always think it'd be cool to have like, a "TBTcon" haha.

If that actually happened I'm sure everyone would have a great time, but imagine the logistics of pulling it off would be pretty difficult.
 
Any memory I had in 2015/2016 of this forum.

I was suspended/up for expulsion my freshman year of high-school for something stupid, and I spent most of my time here during that punishment. :"D I made a LOT of friends throughout those few months of being away from school. @Nightmares being one of those friends. She passed away a few years ago, and I will always cherish the moments I had with her. Our Skype calls offsite, getting to hear her quiet voice even if it was for one second before she muted her mic (she was pretty shy, lol). Or just talking to her through VMs onsite. I miss her so much, and that's why I will never be giving up the Lobo collectible she gifted to me. Even if it went for 10k TBT. I'd never part ways with this collectible. It's special to me. She may not be around anymore, but she has impacted the lives of many people on this forum, in my opinion... ;w;

Any memory with Lani is my favorite TBT memory. Apologies for getting sappy, ahh ;;
 
I have a lot of fond memories tied up with the New Leaf era and this forum- in fact I joined because I was excited for New Leaf to come out. I remember being a part of giveaways for dream villagers, items, and hosting get togethers for people on here. I sincerely think my experience with New Leaf would have not been the same without joining this forum. Though today I don't have as much free time to play online with people I'm grateful I got to meet and play with people on here.
 
hm. definitely gaming week. some of the MK8 races were incredibly fun on the discord even though my placements were hit or miss. made me laugh a lot during my first friendly when i somehow kept coming first and people in the chat were like, "???? who is claire ????" i also enjoyed fighting with donut, coach and shellzilla for that top spot all the time. another highlight from that event is definitely when labellefleur and i beat the final stage/boss of SM3DW live for everyone to see asdfghjk. i've never felt so stressed and proud at the same time before. another contender is when i finally ended the nightmarish moving platform level our group was struggling to finish in world bowser. (i think it was the same session, actually.) we must've been stuck on that last part forever.
 
So many special friends and memories 💜

I have to say the most special memory was my birthday this year. My beautiful amazing friend @SpaceTokki77 wanted to make a card for me and asked for friends to draw something for me. I was absolutely blown away by such amazing friends, taking the time and giving their artistic talents for me 🥺❤️ I will honestly never forget looking through my birthday thread. I was honestly crying. I don’t know how I would have survived life this last year without the belltree. I have made such wonderful friends and I am so grateful 🥰

Tysm to all staff, old and new, and especially the members that make this forum such a special place 💜💫💜
 
In like 2017 I participated in the Halloween event and I remember there was one riddle that was super hard, it had something to do with the Celtic knot I think, and I was one of the first people who solved it! I remember I got access to a special thread that only unlocked if you solved the riddle. I was so proud of myself lol. I also remember frantically refreshing the shop to buy all the candy collectables that were released each night leading up to halloween. I actually missed out on buying two or three I think (they sold out fast) but I was able to buy them from others thankfully. But that Halloween event was super fun, and probably my favorite memory. It was during my junior year of college and I was kinda stressed and going through something irl so having an escape through TBTF was really nice :)

My second favorite memory was cheering my team on in the Mario Kart and Mario Party tournaments for the Bell Tree World Championships! Go Bellflowers!
 
i have a few favorite memories and most of them are pretty recent. i was so young when i first joined and was very shy so i didn’t really interact much other than new leaf trades.
coming back to the forums when new horizons was released was super fun, nostalgic and also chaotic haha, i had a shop selling nook miles tickets for tbt. my goal for the shop was to raise 10k for a strange doll, which marked the beginning of my collectible journey. i wasn’t into collectibles at all during the first 6 years i was on tbt, but when i discovered the strange doll i needed it.
i actually ended up making enough and got it (thanks @MasterM64!)
another sweet moment was when i made a thread looking for the lucky collectible (i was still very new to the collectibles scene) and someone gifted me one for free. the message was “It’s your Lucky day!” and that’s when i truly realized how kind, thoughtful and welcoming the people on these forums are. it’s since been date traded but i will still cherish it forever 😊

getting my rainbow jellyfish was the best surprise ever, i never thought i’d come first in any contest on tbt. i had a really bad experience during the bell tree fair 2020, my grandma unexpectedly passed towards the beginning of the fair and it resulted in me making some really bad decisions. i still regret my actions but i’m so glad i was able to come back from that, and while i didn’t get the rainbow frag i wanted so bad, getting the rainbow jellyfish a year later seemed almost like redemption for how awful the fair was for me. i’ve since grown a lot and reflected on that time and i’m glad that i finally feel like i fit in here, it’s really such an amazing community. 💕
 
Ive only recently became as active as ive ever been, im looking forward to meeting nice users and hopefully starting friendships over our obsession of AC as i currently have no one to discuss my AC thoughts with outside TBT
 
I wasn't very active for most of the time I've been here. Then around 2020, I accidentally made some friends and it caused me to come online everyday. Not everything from that was positive, I'm even partly embarrassed of how I was at the time, but I still think making friends was the best thing that happened to me on here.
