How Did You Discover TMK?

[Koopaslaya]

Well it was in like 2000 when I searched for like chets/codes for mario games. Then I first started in the mailbag(asking really stpid questions), then I went to the Chatroom and now I'm in the forums the forums.

I was also searching for Mario-related stuff and downloads (as well as information on their cartoons), and as a result, landed here for my first time in March 2002.

Me, I was on classicgaming.com/sotss, which stands for Secret Of The Seven Stars, and TMK was an affiliate.

Mario has fused with the N-force!

Oh yes, I also forgot to note- I joined the Fungi Forums in September 2002.

It's been a long time since I first found TMK (so long that it looked like this when I found it). I think I had been searching for ROMs of arcade games and found ClassicGaming, which at the time was hosting TMK. The URL stayed in the back of my mind for a long time, and I would occasionally come back to it. I last came back when Mario Kart DS was released, and joined the FF a month later to get friend codes. I haven't left since.

So, how did you find TMK?

Some time in the summer of 2001 when I had finally gotten cable internet. I found an awesome-looking button linking to here, and decided to stay for awhile.

I went to Google.com to search for info on Mario games. I found TMK, and decided to join the forum, because I had been banned from the S2Beta forums (I was hoping the people in the Mario communities would be nicer). And here I am now.

I found the URL in a Mario character FAQ by a fellow named spacepope4u, who used this site to get most of his info.

I already made a topic like this.

I knew about this place for a while. I've seen TMK mentioned in posts on numerous forums so I've visited the site, but I never thought of joining the forum until just now.

Anything Related To mario I Searched On Google

I like how every word but "Mario" is capitalized.
I found TMK a long time ago with the traditional search for cheat-codes in Mario games. Like, a LONG time ago. When there were quotes of sorts under the logo (Trust the fungus, Better than a warm cricket pie). That's a super-long time ago. In the years that followed, nothing of particular interest happened. I still visited TMK frequently for stuff like release dates and other info. Then, exactly two years prior to today, I joined the forums. I've changed so much... but it's all for the better.

I remember coming to the site when the mailbag was the most exciting thing on the site (how long has TMK been around?) I even submitted something to the mailbag (I made a comment about Donkey Kong's genalogy, and when TMK published my letter in the 'bag, that's what the header above it said Donkey Kong Genalogy)

I remember registering for one of the first sets of forums here (though I never posted, because I really hated that forums were becoming the main way of communicating in a website, instead of just emailing the webmasters or whatever..)

I used the name Yellow Shyguy one time, but I can't remember what the password was, so I'm going to guess and say that that particular user name has been deleted? Anyway, I've been visiting the site for a while,  but came to the forums more recently, after the turn of the century. :)

EDIT: A letter from me is featured in this mailbag. The second letter, from Jon :)

EDIT2: Another mailbag, another letter. Click. Again, from Jon.

EDIT3: Here. I'm the last one on the page.

I think I win the "lame" prize.

To be honest I never knew there was a website correlating to the Fungi Forums until quite a while after I had joined. I was surfing the NSider forums at nintendo.com around November in 2005 and saw a topic Luigison (known as Luigisan over there) had made, advertising a Mario Kart DS competition with prizes. I asked him about it and he said you had to be a member of the FF for at least two weeks to be eligible, so I thought heck, why not? I joined up here and raced through the game vigorously over the next two weeks, and had trouble posting my pictures of proof, thus leading me to #tmk. I could have won, too, but I had beaten the game before the two weeks were up and Suffix beat me to it. I'm still bitter about it. Naw, I'm not bitter. I had actually forgotten about it until I saw this topic. Anyway, I guess I figured I had nothing better to do, and kept coming back here, which led to much time wasted and some really really intense Mario Kart races with Suffix. Good times, good times.

I have a question to add on to MaxVance's (or, rather, NE89's) original one: How long have you been logged in, total? My count as of 10:05 PM MST February 4, 2007 is 16 days, 5 minutes.

I have a record 45 days, 1 hours and 22 minutes as of now, and I say record meaning Eclipsed Moon HAS to have cheated to have usurped me so quickly. He just came back and suddenly rocketed up to first place... What a cheating usurper, or usurping cheater. :(
