Pianomanfreak:
Hello my name is Jim I'm 25 years old I been a gamer since the age of five. I'm also a member of many different forums. I have a grand total of 270 handheld games from all Nintendo handhelds. I'm also in the process of looking for 28 covers hopefully you guys can help me out. So thank you.

Sean here. Been lurking for a couple weeks - just getting back in to old Nintendo systems again (I've got a huge 360 collection though).
Few items I'm not entirely clear about - are there just tons of places I need to be looking for covers? There are the covers in the site database, which are easy enough to find, but it seems tracking down custom covers can be especially challenging in the forum. Are there other sources around for completed covers? I've also seen a number of games come up as requests and regulars state they were about to upload them years ago, only for nothing else to ever come about.
I've probably registered a dozen times in the last couple weeks because the forum keeps saying that my username doesn't exist. Is this because my account is being culled for not making a post or is something else the matter here?

Only the perfect covers make it to the site.
Lesser quality covers stay on the boards, even the near perfect ones.
And before you point out that there are bad quality covers in database also: Yep but those are from the time before current quality standarts.
Eventually you might get access to areas of boards where there are more organised topics where only near pefect covers end up, and where posting is restricted to maintain organized look.
All those covers are available on the normal boards aswell but as people post here and there and everywhere they tend to get lost.
As why not all covers promised cover show up is that, maker might have been buzy, or determined that cover was not good enough in the end after all.

Technically this is a re-introduction. I was a member of TCP a few years ago, although after the forum transition I kind of lost my account and didn't reactivate until recently. Glad to see the community is still going strong though, and I look forward to contributing again! ;D

Welcome to all the recent new people! Or new-old people!
