Nearing 100000 members - How did you find En World?

[gamerprinter]

My entry to ENWorld was kind of odd. I had just built my Gamer Printshop website (see SIG), and began posting it to varying RPG forums whereever I could find them. Up to the point of starting my RPG Map POD shop, I never spent anytime online with regard to RPGs - never before.

After getting some initial contacts, I started doing daily Google searches to see who found my website.

One day, linked on Google was a request on ENWorld by Morrus himself wanting to know who the hell I was and what did it cost to outsource the printing of maps! So I followed the link, joined the site, so I could post an answer in Morrus's thread - and voilla, I became a member.

So I consider it odd, I'm here, because Morrus was looking for me...

It was maybe late 1999 or early 2000; definitely before 3E came out. I think it may have been February? I remember Henry's "C'mon August" fondly. There were vague rumors about 3E at the time, and I was on one of the alt.* newsgroups looking for information. I remember Eric posting on them, got the link from him, and I joined the site soon after. Given how low my post count is, it should be no surprise I mostly lurked, though I've been a little more active these days.

I was working at WotC at the time, in the months just before D&D3 came out, but I was working in an office in LA and I found that it was interesting to see the difference between what we were hearing from Seattle and what was being posted here.

I participated in a lot of threads, had a pretty decent post-count, and then the databases got nuked and nuked again and I basically stopped posting until pretty recently.

How did you first hear about En World?

I don't recall.

What was the RPG market like when you joined . .

I don't really know.

. . . and what were the hot topics?

I don't remember.


Clearly it was a memorable moment for me.

Resse's Pieces.

"Ooh, a piece of candy!"

I followed a path similar to Klaus and RW, but with more rambling, risk, antisocial tendencies, and leather-clad fangirls with 7' heels on the back of my sweet motorcycle.

..7' heels on the back of my sweet motorcycle.

Wouldn't they fall off?

The ladies hold on tight.

Who cares what else falls off?

varooooooom.

Another Eric Noah's alumnus, came for the rumors of 3e and the mythical Master tools.

No idea why I signed up, I am pretty sure I lurked without an account for a few years before signing up. I am pretty sure I came across the site during the 3.0 to 3.5 transition.
