How did you find ENWorld?

[ArchfiendBobbie]

I purchased N.E.W. on Drivethru and decided to check the publisher's website out.

I found ENWorld looking for info on 3e, way back when this was Eric Noah's Unofficial 3e Rumor site.

Wow time does fly...

I was looking for information about the upcoming 3rd edition of D&D and found some guy named Noah's 3rd edition news site. I made a forum account (JediSoth). I went away for a while and somehow my account was deleted, so I rejoined after Gen Con 2003. I remember when it was switched to ENWorld, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with my account being deleted.

I'd been aware of ENWorld (and Giant In The Playground and one or two others) for some time due to mentions on the WotC forums. This would have been back in the 3.5 era.
I was one of the residents of the Off-Topic Tavern over there, and many of the other OTTers had been discussing a move to a different site when the Great Purge went down and a large number of them were banned from the site. I wasn't one of them.
I had made an account here and made a post or two before the Great Purge. Afterward, I posted here occasionally but didn't really become active on a regular basis until WotC announced they were scuttling their own ship.

I came here 14 something years ago when WotC decided to kill their book discussion forums. So, yeah.

Don't remember how I found EN World, though.

Like others have said, I heard about 3E coming out and did an internet search in 1999 and found the old Eric Noah site. I was participating over at RPGNet and didn't become a regular here for several years, going through a couple login names, but then forgetting them. But yeah, I'm an old-timer: meaning, started reading the site before there was a forum.

A boring internet search.

Something like that, 15 years ago or so...

In 1999, 3rd edition was a rumor. A search online led me to Eric Noah's 3rd Edition D&D News and Rumors site. EN World spun off from there a few years later.
