I was looking for a "end of the world planet simulator" on google and stumbled upon Dan-ball's planet simulator. after 2 weeks I wanted to download it to play offline, searched it on google and gess what showed up? I registered so I could save my creations.
I playd dan-ball then one guy in school told me abou't downloadable powder-toy I found Geek3d's powder toy then i searched powder-unaligned.com and then this showd up. I downloaded and nearly get hart attack when I saw how many new elements there was. then I registered here and start to save things.
I joined in August 2010, maybe even sooner but my first post was in August. (don't look at it!) I too was a dan-baller (found out about Dan-ball via NotDoppler's Top 10 (it was 1st). Then I started looking for alternatives. Found TPT. Then, I got amazed by the advanced-ness of TPT and I stayed. I'm glad of staying. ^^ @me4502 You started posting in October 2010, so I doubt you came any much sooner than that time. @MasterMind555 Also October 2010, nice..
I can't edit my original post (i'm not on a computer) I forgot to say that when I first found TPT it was the very first version of it. but even so I was so amazed at it (of course I thought that the only downside was the lack of stickman :P) then, a few days later, I found out I needed to register to save any creations, so I franticly tried to find the website that would allow me to register for a user accout, and I found the TPT's new website. I Fainted when I saw version 47. that was in feburary.
This is somhow similar to nmd and jenn4's story...
A few people i know had an ancient version of powder toy (only 19 different elements - might have acctually bn the original) where all you could really make was a volano, they were making big balls of c-4 and nitroglycerine, then when i searched it up i found version 47.3... Everyone was asking for a copy of it sinc the school server didn't allow the powdertoy website. Didn't register for a few months, and made a lot of random junk in that time, the exception was the counter i made a few months before i registered that is now on the front page. I finally registered on my third attempt (my e-mail was deleting the powdertoy register email) in a hotel in China, and my first save got a vote down after about 2 minutes... So... Thats it... Why are you still reading?
When I was playing powder game, I decided to search it in youtube and I saw TPT but for some reason I didn't download it (I suppose it was a video of one of the earlier versions and didn't call my attention). Later, I saw sandtest in kongregate and read comments from spammers about "The Powder Toy". -If that "Powder Toy" is so good I must try it- i though. The amount of elements was great for me to make something (plus there were also unlimited dots). A week later I registered to save my first creation. "And kids, that's the story of how I registered in TPT"
