Let's Play honestly. I think I joined around the time DC got harassed over one of his games. It quickly lead me to playing on the WoW goon squad forums, and then eventually I met some friends in GBS.

Can’t really recall (might have been the gamespy forums?) but I remember reading the h-game reviews and front page stuff before registering for the 9/11 memes after the forums blocked the unreg’d on that day around ‘11

Photoshop Friday, they were the only articles I "read" on the main page and decided to lurk the forums before jumping in and trying my hand at some of the photoshop threads.

I was posting but mostly lurking on the website the straight dope and big bad SA kept being mentioned. Since I was always drawn to evil or dysfunction or broken I checked it out

I have no loving clue. It wasn't WoW or SWG. Maybe I was looking up funny pictures in 2005 and stumbled on it. E: All I remember is making a "first post!" post in some thread (it being my first post on the forums) and lowtax probing me with the reason "it's not even the first post in the thread." its all nice on rice fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Mar 12, 2021 |

DangerDummy! posted:Someone sent me an email link or however we used to do that back then of Cliff Yablonski stuff and I found the forums going through front page stuff. Same. I was a senior in high school when I stated reading SA and the forums in 2002 I refused to pay $10 bucks to post on the internet and I didn't have a credit card so I didn't even bother lurking and spent all of my time on SA reading all of the front page content. It wasn't until 2004 that I started lurking and then one night in 06 I got pretty drunk and woke up the next day to see that I had registered.

The Locator posted:It was so long ago, and I'm so old now, that I don't remember. I know I lurked for many years before finally creating an account and starting to participate in the forums in any way. Came back a few years ago, paid, and am very glad I did.

i think I heard about it from people mentioning it on Fark and possibly seanbaby or fatchicksinpartyhats? and I believe the first thing I saw was probably a cliff yablonski hates you "article" very much in the same vein. so, around 2000

sometime around 2005, I would look at photoshop competitions on worth1000, then one day I guess one of them linked here and that was it, I was hooked didn’t register until 2010 bc there was no way teenage me was asking my mom for her credit card information so I could post on a forum... this account was one of the first things I bought with my own credit card

One of my friends got dial-up internet back in 2005 and we lost our poo poo at the Hardy Boys photoshop thread. A year later I was in college with absolutely no other exposure to the internet, so I decided to make camp here until I got my bearings. I knew I'd found my forever home when the Make Bad Christmas Music threads started.

I used to read planet quake religiously as a kid. One day I noticed Lowtax was no longer writing articles so I searched and found the front page/forums. Seems embarrassing in retrospect but it was 20 year ago. Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Mar 12, 2021 |

I'm pretty sure I got linked to the front page from TOTSE around 2001/2002. I only found the forums a few years later but didn't have a credit card because I was a child. One of the first purchases I made when I got one was a forums account. God it's been 20 years.

When Gabe from Penny Arcade had a shitfit and shutdown their forum for almost a year during the M2 era. People wouldn't stop making threads about how his wife was fat.

Pretty sure it was some article about or reference to the Boatmurdered Let's Play, which led me to checking out other LPs, and then eventually sticking around. I think it was the 'golden age of CYOAs' that turned me from a lurker to a regular, back when there suddenly was a fuckload of active CYOAs on GBS and the like.

Some long gone website called ihatemmorpgs.com I found back when I played dark fall. Lurked for a long while, finally felt guilty for all the free entertainment and bought an account. Now I pay to lurk.

Pretty sure it was this exact thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=464783&userid=0&perpage=20&pagenumber=1 About clock spider (that image of a huge spider behind a clock). Then I stuck around because of the MS Paint threads and Bigpeeler's dumb stories. I think I registered just around the time of the Geno invasions on Habbo Hotel. At the time the forums really were good at loving with the rest of the net without it turning racist or stupid like 4chan eventually became.

I'd been checking it on and off since high school, learned of it from gamefaqs when I was told to stop poo poo posting on their current events board. I lost my old account like a dumbass but I don't think I ever used it so idk.

a friend of mine in high school tried to send me a link to a thread and I didn't have an account. so he said "well check your email I just bought you an account merry christmas" I had vaguely known of SA before then (a lot of stuff invariably got reposted on other forums I posted on) but never really knew what it was all about. its reputation definitely preceded the actual content of the forums and I remember being a little nervous to post on da big bad SA forumz at first tbh

A buddy and I were surfing the web, looking for funny sports topics, and stumbled upon the SASwiki which to some young teenage minds was the height of comedy. Finally figured out what it linked back to and then spent years lurking around the forums until I finally got a credit card and registered.
