I used to believe in Nibiru.
This theory makes more sense than a planet with a strange orbit nearing the Earth every 3600 years. What do others here think of this?

No true at all. Skeptics or rather those that have looked at the evidence say that Nibiru means crossing.
For more information on the term as used by the Sumerians see:
Nibiru
The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep. Observation: The text clearly labels Nibiru with the DINGIR sign again, and yet calls it specifically a star (kakkabu is the generic word for star in semitic; cf. Hebrew kkb). It also says that Marduk-Jupiter made Nibiru appear. Could this be a reference to a cataclysmic event, or perhaps some positional phenomenon, or is it just a mythological statement? Whatever Nibiru is – it seems either Jupiter itself (the apparent plurality being only a renaming of the same thing) or some star inextricably connected to Jupiter, it regulates the stars keeping them in their courses.
