ehh I can't exactly say I rmemeber. I rememeber whenever I used to search for stuf btb would come up first. I used to trade on reddit when I first got new leaf. I never played the other ds firends, except on to borrow for a short time, so I had no need.
i think i was searching something about villager information (this was back when i was an acnl noob and didn't know anything about the game) and i kept coming to the villager trading plaza here. i just ignored it because i didnt understand how villager trading worked, but when i saw that there was a bell currency on this site, i for some reason found that really cool, so i signed up
I was on Animal Crossing Community around 2011, and I wanted TBT as a guest for a little while, but it wasn't as active so I stuck to ACC. Now I am back to playing Animal Crossing so I went on ACC- it was a ghost town for the most part. So I came here!
I got in through ACC too, but when I came here the first town I was super overwhelmed and backed off! Later I came back and it was so much more active I never looked back... I will go on reddit to find villagers though
I think I found it a few times when looking for guides and asking ACNL questions to google, not sure when I am sure probably at least a while before I got an account. Because my friend told me you can give villagers to other people and I wanted in on it and I also wanted more people to come over to my town and to be friends with so I decided to make an account. ^u^
i found out about animal crossing on another forum where someone made an ac fan group, so i bought new leaf because they were talking about it and i loved it. then i searched some stuff about the game a few months later and signed up.
Discovered this site since like April-May 2015 because I was depending so much on the villager tier lol. I decided to join in August 2015 because the tumblr ACNL community just likes trading villager for another villager that I don't have; it's an annoying system of barter and 'double coincidence of wants' and it makes progress in my town slower because you don't always get a reply. ;-;
Ever since then, I stuck with TBT because I felt the monetary system was more efficient and I got my dreamies faster than I thought because a lot of people here cycle. c:
I found out about the bell tree forums when I was at the island on my mayors account and I asked anyone if they sold hybrids and they replied have you checked the bell tree forums so then I joined
The day I joined, LOL. I was looking for information about AC:NL (since it was my first AC game ever), found a link to TBT and figured I might as well join, haha.
The day I joined was the first day I knew about it. I just started googling stuff about New Leaf when they first announced it and TBT came up and it looked pretty cool so I joined right then.
Over a year ago, on October 2014, I got Animal Crossing as a birthday gift. So I looked up online for tips and tricks on how to do different things in game (since I was still used to Wild World, I played it almost all the time so NL took awhile getting used to), and one of the results was The Bell Tree Forums. I seen there were tons of threads chock full of information, and since it loaded faster than the other wikis I could find, I snooped. Once I seen you could trade/play online here, and it was an active community, I joined.
Over a year later, 1 reset (I literally reset a week after my birthday), and only a few cycled villagers, my town has barely any progress towards being done. Where has my time gone
Same for me. I finally joined because I desperately wanted cherries. The user who replied about the cherries(AnnaCerise) was SUPER nice and brought over tons of wishlist stuff and I just kind of hung around the site after that. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...
