I was wondering how all of the users found Jul.

I found it back in August/September 2008, by searching Youtube for NSMB videos and falling across videos of edited levels. Then finding Ninjifox's old website, which linked to Board2 and this place.

I saw it from a link from tcrf.net, but the backstory (Golds' YouTube account --> wiki.rustedlogic.net --> jul) would be complex enough there's no need to say it.

So you made it.

Congrats. You deserve (nothing) some clapping.
That is an easy way to find it.

I was getting into SMW romhacking and SMWCentral, and after a while started getting interested in if NSMB had a romhacking scene... From there I learned about Treeki and Reggie, and about this time New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out and people here were discovering that most of the data was stored/handled similarly, so I decided to join to watch the progress. I think one of my first posts was agreeing to call the new editor "Shiggy", a nickname I still use to this day when referring to Mr. Miyamoto

It was SM64 hacking that brought me here, then I decided to step out of the SM64 hacking forum. Since then, I haven't actually gone back in to it.

Once long ago in the time of the early Xkeeperian dinosaurs I happened across a strange village and I did not stay.

Years down the line I came across the strange village now a town. And I stayed.

I was not expecting to be mentioned here


Anyhow .. I joined Board2 back in 2007 when it was still Acmlm's Board 2. Came across it and joined because I remembered AB from my old days being a terrible SMB1 hacker, and posted my NSMB DS hacking stuff there shortly afterwards when I began working on it.

I started hanging around there more and joined the IRC. Jul started shortly afterwards, and Tanks invited me...and the rest is history.

I don't post as much on the board as I'd like to, but I'm still very active in IRC, and it's had a massive influence on me - some of my best friends now are people I've met through Jul (or related places), and it's an awesome place to call home.

I first found Acmlm's Board when I heard about Lunar Magic back in July 2004 and then I just stayed around for all the incarnations....


In a few months I've been here for exactly 10 years...



And I still don't feel like an oldie.

I wish I had found the place earlier, though. It looks like the Acmlm's Board era was awesome, even despite the drama that was going on.

I first found out about SMW hacking through Lunar Magic. Looked at the links in FuSoYa's site and noticed it linked to Acmlm's Board, and decided to sign up. Back then, Acmlm's Board was in it's second iteration, and I have been following this community from that time, through the third Acmlm's Board iteration, through the split between ||board (now defunct) and Acmlm's Board 2 (now just known as Board2), and finally when the split happened between Board2 and Jul.

It's been one long ride, but it's been an interesting one to say the least.

I joined Acmlm's Board back in early 2006 after finding it through a Google image search. (What I was looking for has long been forgotten.) After its collapse in early 2007, I joined its successor, Acmlm's Board 2. Not long after Jul went public in mid-2007, a link was posted somewhere on Board 2, and I registered here.

After the Board 2 / Jul split that shortly followed, I left both boards for a few months since I was neither interested nor involved with much of the personal disputes that caused all this instability. When I returned in late 2007, I came back to Jul, and I've been here ever since.

No regrets.

Xkeeper told me about it, as I recall.

Joined Acmlm's Board in 2001 after what I think was a Google search.

Acey says:

My story is vaguely interesting, I suppose. I may be misremembering bits and pieces, though.

Back in...2010, I think, there was a bit of drama here, which led to some sort of split and the creation of a new board called The Left Mouse Button. I actually joined that forum because Gabu told me about it and it looked fun.

I naturally found Jul from there. The rest is more or less history!

Got bored sometime in 2002, browsed Zophar's Domain for ROM hacking stuff, found FuSoYa's site which had a link to Acmlm's board somewhere, registered there, registered there again a couple of years later and once again even later, and that led to this. Exciting right? :V

I didn't find Jul. Jul found me.

Yeah yeah, lame joke I know. I found Jul through TCRF. I decided to register because there was this huge thread dissecting Wind Waker stuff here. It was, more or less, an extension of TCRF to me at the time so it seemed logical to be apart of it. I guess the only thing surprising to me is that I am still here after almost 2 years. I wouldn't have thought I would still be checking this site out regularly.

It was something like, being introduced to Nesticle way back in 1998 or so, finding YY-SMB a few years later and getting introduced to rom hacking, subsequently finding SMB2 Discombobulator on Acmlm's old site, which was also where the original Acmlm's Board was, and eventually registering there in 2001 or so.

I was there up until the second incarnation, and then I left for a year or two, with Xk eventually calling me back late into incarnation 3. The community was a mess at that point, and sometime during Acmlm's Board 2, Xk set up a small, private community called the "Just Us League" (abbreviated JUL; sound familiar?) where it was just a close circle of friends for a while.

Eventually, Acmlm's Board 2 went pear-shaped and Xk opened JUL publically as an alternative. JUL, the acronym, was eventually dropped, and was just referred to as Jul. TCRF happened a few years later, and Jul slowly became what it is now.

and that's why I'm here.
