i arrived at ENWorld via Eric Noah's site when searching for stuff on the new 3rd edition of D&D---now i spend way to much time here, especially at work
The chance of finding a DnD community that didn't bicker and complain as much as the WotC MB community.
Actually I followed a link from the WotC messageboards and voila... you've got Pants.
