A Thank You, to the Original 311 (Squidboards BETA Members)

[jp4464]

It's crazy how in just three days, we've managed to get over 700 people to sign up for the new site. That's insane! Especially since it took us over ten months to reach 311 members on the BETA site.

But numbers don't matter in this case.

Even though the original site was just a BETA, there were still a great portion of members who were active and dedicated. Our community's still building, and I'm incredibly excited to see how big the Splatoon community gets in the future.

I just wanted to thank all the members of Squidboards BETA for helping to develop the community that we have today. Without you all, we probably wouldn't have the 700+ members signed up on the new site.

Also, thanks to @TheRapture and @Warchamp7 for managing the site; your dedication to this site and the BETA definitely shows, and I couldn't be more thankful.

And to everyone who wasn't a part of the BETA: Thank you for your continued support of the community. We're all doing our part to keep the membership growing, and it's so awesome to already see such dedicated and excited members on the new site.

Hope to see you all on the battlefield! :D

Oh thank you! It's not like I joined the beta on February 19th. :p But hey on the beta I have the most post beside jp4464!

I never knew a beta site existed until people started mentioning it on here, but I definitely would have joined up if I did! And it's great to see so much activity here for only being up for 3 days, makes me anticipate playing with you guys even more!

Id like to point out the game isnt even out yet. Activity is going to explode then and it will be great to see all the new members.

Would have joined the beta if i had been really hyped but im getting there slowly. :p

 

[Captain Norris]

Mmm I must also thank everyone as well.

 

[BluePikmin11]

No problem, I kinda helped with most of the stuff, since I shared the Squidboards site with the Leaks group.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I would of joined sooner if people actually mentioned that the BETA even existed in the first place.

Oh well, keep on grooving community.

I also wish I had found the beta site sooner. Saw it over a month ago, but its awesomeness didn't sink in until I finally registered at the very end of March. Lucky I found it, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Glad to be a part, and thanks everyone!

 

[suavevillain]

I wasn't active on the beta but great job to everyone making this a great site.

 

[Lyn]

This is really awesome! I definitely wish I could have participated in the beta. I hadn't heard about Squidboards up until Smashboards referenced it.

 

[Reila]

I wish there was a way to bring the posts we made on the beta forum to here. Still, this place looks much better, so it was worth leaving all that stuff behind.

 

[Setnaro X]

I didn't post much during the BETA days, but I hope to change that with this board. Can't wait until the game actually comes out. Things will be much more hectic.

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

Yeah, I got on the beta 'cause The Rapture basically told me to.

Guess that makes me a hero now, though.

 

[Geistbox]

I regret not having registered there in the past. Would have loved to get into the fledgling Splatoon community earlier.

 

[DigDeep]

I joined kind of later but I did enjoy the beta! I was a freuquent poster on there and it was nice to have that small but active community. I was floored when I was the huge response to the new forums the first day. Needless to say, I'm very excited to see the community grow! Thanks everyone for checking the forums out.

 

[AEM]

I had a BETA forum account but barely posted there for some reason. Much regret.

 

[Setu]

It's a good thig the beta looked absolutely horrid, otherwise, I would probably be missing it. Lol

 

[DonkaFjord]

I had a Beta account but went on only like 4 times and posted a few times. Nothing big but oh well- the new site looks slick.

 

[Nin☆Jun]

I wished people actually mentioned the beta back then, never heard of these boards until now. :s

Here's to hoping for a great future ahead!
