2000-2002. I used it mostly when the school I was at had a IT block built as I didn't have internet at home until I left school and got my first job in 2003. I didn't bother creating a account until several years later.

Not sure when I started but the first thing I remember using the site for was to find glitches and cheats for Super Mario 64.

98ish coulda been 97 but I voted 98.

Started with guides for games. Then it slowly shifted to me just checking the cheats section for a game then after I quit all that I decided to to start talking on the boards

I started visiting in 06, and made my first account (and like five more) in 07. Those were banned. Then I made this account in 09. Then I changed my username a year or two ago.

2012/13. I was driven here by Gamespot who chose to completely screw all of their fans with a moronic new layout and deletion of popular messageboards. They've since fixed these changes to an extent, but i'm not going back; they're idiots and there's no guarantee they won't do it again. Plus i've since come to realise that their official review scores are among the most incorrect on the internet.

I don't really remember. Sometime between 2000-2004 would have been the first time I used the site. I'm sure I knew of it from my brother referencing it to get information on games.

2000, I discovered the site while looking up codes in a Google search. The site seemed awesome and blew my mind how it seemed to have every game ever made, and codes for most I looked up. So I became a member not long after that and submitted my own codes and reviews for a few years.

Registered in late 2000, pretty sure my buddy had me looking up info as early as 1999 though.

Voted 2000-2002.

I did it wrong, I picked when I created my account...I was using it long before then. I remember looking at a FAQ for FFVII way back when it came out on PC. So whenever that was, Release: May 31, 1998. So yeah that's the first time I can really remember using it.

Between 1998-2000. Umm...

Shoot. When did I make that account? But I think I first found GameFAQs in 1998 and created an account a few years later.... Or maybe I made that account in 2003. My memory is lost.

When I was a tiny kid before I knew GameFAQs, I used Nintendo Code Center in like 1997 or 1998 to look for SNES and Game Boy Color cheats and GBC Game Shark codes and that's when I discovered the existence of Virtual Boy, which I had no clue what it was at the time (but thought it was related to the Game Boy line). I'm surprised NintendoCC is still running to this day but it doesn't seem like it has updated in a decade.
