I think I got linked to the front page from ToTSE way back in the day, and then eventually found my way onto the forums for Photoshop Fridays. Couldn't get an account until I was 18 because I didn't have a card (and wasn't going to ask my parents to pay for an account to a weird internet forum)

The Space Robot Bonanza animation was played on TechTV's Eye Drops way back in like 2002 and it captured my interest and amusement at the time. Fortunately, I was smart enough to avoid purchasing an account as a preteen, and just read the forums for 20 years instead, laughing at P-p-p-powerbooks and lost fingats and mannequin molesters until I felt like I was enough of an idiot to fit in, but not too much of one to get banned.

Some coworker was trying to describe Jeff K to me back in 2000 and I had no idea what the gently caress he was going on about but when I eventually ended up here I fell into the Photoshop Phriday rabbit hole and haven't left since

stop making sense
I think it might've been 9/11. Lurking as a teenager I found alot of the cruel and distasteful stuff absolutely hilarious.

Some of the e/n type threads were enthralling, that graves guy possibly killing someone in a carpark. Some kid who wanted to save the soul of one of his sisters friends but then turned out actually just to fancy her and made her a mix cd in the end.

The ask/tell forum was really interesting and as a non American it had lots of interesting stuff. The gun forum was also strangely alluring.

The traditional art thread in the creative forum, and photography ones often have loads of great stuff.

I'm not sure why I ever bothered to buy an account though. My posts are irredeemable. I did totally believe the forums were running out of money at one point so maybe that prompted it.

I was at a LAN party and during some down time stumbled across the AYB thread as it was taking off. We played a lot of Motocross Madness that weekend, Quake also I'm guessing, it's been a while.

All the funny posters on X-Entertainment's old forums posted there, and I was left without a forum home when that had the plug pulled on it because that must have been about 2002 and being edgy was in. I lurked for a while and then pulled the trigger a couple of years later.

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
We get 2 or 3 of these threads a year I think.

My first exposure was in my second year of college, so fall 2002 winter/spring 2003.

Don't remember when exactly, but someone on another forum posted alink to a thread titled "My mother is insane".

It was about some hoarder mom who had so much poo poo in her house, had paths going between rooms etc.....

I wanted to join because I checked out some other stuff too, but you had to pay and I didn't have a credit card.

I finally got a credit card in summer of 2007 and theres a good chance that a forums membership is the first thing I bought with it.

Got banned in 2011 ish. Tried to unban myself but for whatever reason poo poo wasn't working properly. Tried periodically from whenever I got banned until I finally re-reged on whatever date it says above my av.

heard about SA and how stupid and lovely it was from my l33t Quake 3 clan and decided to singlehandedly ruin the forums all subversive like, and that's why the general quality of posts has consistently trended toward "not good" and "more poorly". i'm not gonna start posting better, even though i've already won, and no i won't let up, not for a second, not until every post is

I don't remember, but I'd been reading the frontpage; Photoshop Phriday, Fashion SWAT, Weekend Web, etc., since like 10th grade. My buddies and I got shushed a lot in the highschool library for laughing too loud at the articles.

Me either :smith: I have a LiveJournal entry from Feb 2005 that casually mentions checking the forums every day after checking my email, but no details other than that -- no notes about how long I'd been lurking, or what forums I preferred, or what threads I was reading...

edit: the only forums-related note I can find is about SA Idol, which started three months after I regged so it's probably not a factor

Oh god. This will be so loving embarrassing. I watched slow beef and Proteus poo poo talk people for hours and hours. I probably have watched some of these videos 100 times. Because there was such a good genuine humor and for a 14 year old kid this was too notch comedy especially in
For 4 years I watched from the sidelines and never read a post in SA until I made an account. I was fascinated with all things goon but it was still a mystery of who the hell goons were other than cool eve scammers and making fun of let's play.
