I was always big into comics and I forget how, but I stumbled upon the For Better or for Worse thread and slowly started looking at other topics. This was back in 2006 I believe.

Weekend web was what got me here. A friend in high school said something about it and I found the forums from the front page. I didn't get an account for a couple years though. The word filters are still burned in my brains

Someone, probably on GameFAQs, mentioned it in 99. I needed sources to learn English since courses were out of equation and all I had was a dictionary. I found the front page and then I found the forums. I was interested in the forums from the moment I saw them but it took me until 2004 to get a credit card so that was it.

Talked to a couple of goons on another site I frequented who pushed me into checking the site out. Started lurking in 2002 or thereabouts and finally registered in 2010.

A link from the B3TA newsletter where a guy wrote a song about wanting to gently caress Keira Knightley, and another guy recorded it and sung it. I was 14 and found it very funny, I don't think it would stand the test of time though.

I was definitely lurking further back than 9/11 happening so I'm not sure what got me. Probably the Habbo Hotel invasions. The ghost story threads were most of my reading.

I read Planet Half-Life and Planet Quake, came over here when lowtax posted the post about his new website, but missed open reg because I was a scared child and had to have someone buy me an account as a birthday present when I was 17.

I read the pre-paid registration SA forums on a Sega Dreamcast sometimes lmao

Iirc it was one of the GBS cyoas that I was reading at the time while logged out (either the deathcopter one or red, yellow, blue), and when the paywall came up, I decided to get an account. I had to ask my dad for his credit card though.

My first exposure to the website itself though was a jeffk article (? I think) making fun of warcraft 3. I played it a lot back then and I think it was supposed to make the players mad, but I just thought it was stupid. Then I discovered Photoshop phridays and such, and I really liked those.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I can’t recall the first time I found the site, although it was probably via Portal of Evil in ‘04. I do remember what got me to sign up was an ‘06 thread where :master: originated and :siren: was used liberally in which a user was trying to determine who was catfishing them, back when doxxing seemed like an amusing passtime and not a hazard.

i started going to the frontpage in the early 2000s (mostly for flashtubs tbh) but either didn't know or care about the forums being there. a friend told me to register a few years later and i was drunk so i did it. gbs 1.0 wasn't really my bag so it wasn't until i stumbled across the politoons thread in lf that i started posting.

I was into photoshop when I was like 13 and found worth1000 from that. And from the worth1000 forums I found out about SA and started browsing the photoshop phriday threads and I'm still here.
