Joined recently because I really loved the "collection" system the site has, while I was here I decided to stop by the forums for some discussion. I absolutely love the marketplace though I wish it was more active. I've been playing vidya since I was a wee little lad and started collecting just a few years ago (before I was that kid who couldn't stop shoving off all his least-played games to the nearest used video game store). Other than loving video games, I am also a huge fan of music, arguably more than video games, so that's why I decided to link my last.fm in my signature to maybe show off some of my taste. I am usually very sarcastic and make jokes in most of my posts, which tends to offend people for some reason, I guess it catches them off-guard and people think I'm serious. Oh well, you guys already hate me but I'm here to stay! (for now)

Shit, I love me some sarcasm, too!
See...
Now this was a decent (and unoffensive:) post.
Might have worked-out a little better for ya' if you'd made your nice & informative "Intro post", oh...I dunno...maybe BEFORE saying that a game (that others here likely enjoy & bought) is a piece-of-shit...not even worth $2.00 - And/Or
BEFORE your post calling one of our regular & long-time members here a "faggot"...
Just some food for thought...maybe it will help you w/ making "1st impressions" in the future ;)

Wow! Thank you for the post, kind sir. This has really opened my eyes as a person and as a poster on an online forum. Did you know if I never ever came to this forum I wouldn't have learned this valuable lesson you have given me? I've thought a lot about myself after reading this post earlier today, and I honestly think I am a better man because of it. I wanted people to like me so badly I just tried to be as edgy as I could to get attention! Maybe they would think I'm cool for not caring about the rules... whatever I previously thought is the past now, as I will try to be the best, most respectful person I can be! Thank god for this post, because I've decided I'm going to be nice from now on, no need to be rude in any situation! I'm going to nail all my first impressions in the future to make sure people like me right off the bat! I just wanna thank you one last time. You've been a great help to me. :)

and done.
I'm not in the business of handing out bans so please keep this on topic.

Hi, I'm thedisappearer. I'm in the US Army, stationed in Germany (which really makes collecting difficult) and currently in Afghanistan (which *really* makes collecting difficult). I collect a little of everything, but mostly Nintendo. I suppose at some point I'll sell the other systems/games off to finance harder-to-find, more expensive games, but I'm not quite at that point yet so... I have probably just under a thousand games (my full list is back in Germany) but not too many rares and only ~50 CIBs.
After being politely reminded by my wife that I promised not to collect via eBay while in Germany, I wandered around the internet looking for a place to read up on games and collecting, as if some breaking news might appear about a new SMB game for the NEs or something, and ended up hear. Been mostly lurking/feeling the place out, but seems entertaining, especially if I don't question people's sexuality due to game preferences.
