I remember being led to this site many times. I just never joined, because I had a bad encounter with the last forum I joined. (I cant say where, because they discussed where to get ROMs) The admins were a bunch of jerks, and I was immature at the time.
One day, I decided to get in to GC emulation, and I was looking around for an SZS extractor, for Super mario Sunshine, and I was led to Thakis' site. I went back to his site for some reason, and stumbled across the SZS threads, and read through them. I remember seeing his first attempt at his BMD viewer with just points, and I wanted the program, as I was going through the thread, I saw him add faces, face colors, a little texture support, and full texture support, and I downloaded it right away. Eventually, I got to the end of he thread, and I decided to join. I have expanded over to the ToTT, and Tech talk, and then Gaming. Now and then, I lurk in the n64 sections. I rarely ever start threads, I just find an appropriate place to ask my question.
But in my year at ET, I have definetly matured alot, and have learned a heck of a lot about computers. I mean, I knew more than the average person before I joined, but now, I know more than the computer admin at my school

:evil: (Im only in 11th grade, so Im in high school.) I used to remember the days, when I would hope to be a mod. That was before I found out the average age of ET mods. (I think ShizZy is the youngest mod and hes 2 years older than me) Im definetly on the younger end of most people here. I used to feel a little out of place, but Im happy knowing that I will be chatting with people more mature than I (I hope they are more mature than me

)
