I've been here since the beginning of summer in 2013, so about 2 and a half years now. Most of that time I was active too, although there was one time when I took a half year break. I've also had four username changes since then. My original username when I joined was AnimalCrossingExpert(ACE), later on I changed it to Riley. Even later than that I got back into playing Smash Brothers actively and my username was Ryu for about a half year. And just a week or two ago it was changed to as you see now, DoubleR. It's funny because under settings it says you're only allowed to change your username 5 times, and I'm p sure I've changed mine the most out of anyone on the forum, XD.... (or at least anyone who will willingly say so). It cost at least a thousand bells to do so each and every time as well.
Sadly what Tom, one of the most prominent veterans said, is true. Most of the people that were around on this forum in the first decade of 2000 are either inactive or are gone now. I'd like to think that members like Tom and Jake. could be considered veterans, even though there's no set amount of time you have to be on this site for to be considered one, lol
EDIT: Oh, I'd also like to mention that a major reason I even joined the forums back in 2013 was because it was right around a couple months after New Leaf was released. I've used plenty of other forums before then and in that time span as well.
