Default How did you find NZB?

*looks around at all the new faces*

Tell the group, where did you find us?

Google? Another site? Word of mouth?

Well..... once apon a time I was on a fun sort of beta site just chatting to some friends. The beta site grew and grew until the admin guy decided that he would create a monster that would rival other local message boards.
About that time I recieved a messave via MSN along the lines of "psssst check out this site http://www..etc it is something I am working on". So of course I had to check it out...
I waited to do the official join thing until 41 people were there (including the several test profiles) just so I could be #42 (The answer to life, the universe and everything).
And I am still here through the various upgrades over the last few months but it just keeps getting better.

Default well its a sad story....

But in a previous life I was a member of another NZ site. (washes mouth with soap and water)

Thru members of that site I was invited to this site to check it out, Back before it was anything like it is now. I did... I was even one of the founding founding members but over many site changes and tweaks I somehow dropped out of the member list and had to rejoin at a later date.

So here I am, and lacking any other internet home here I remain

Kall you are freaky, you can read my mind. I was sitting here yesterday and was going to start the same thread, time ran out as I got screamed at by the hubby to get off and get ready to go out.

I found this place when hanging around some Other site, well id sorta heard rumours and gossip about it, then The "Sick Puppy" gave me the web address.

A long time a go in a land far far away (not the one in Shrek) there was a forum called ZAT (no relation to ZIT). It was a bountiful forum, filled with countless information about administrating forums, making them better and much much more. The most awesome part of this forum was it's 'help-me-and-ill-help-you' section (no sexual connection - sorry). But as all things are in life, there had to be a bad guy. In this case, it was a villian called kall (Here, for your enjoyment, is a picture of kall - - and a more recently updated one - ) . kall longed to sway people from the light side (no relation to Star Wars although the idea is cool). Thank god he isn't my father. But to make a long story short. I gave in to the dark side and here I am today. Will I live happily ever after? Ask kall, he is the puppetmaster :P

Ok so I am just about to break all my rules, I want to know what you did to get kicked off. Do tell...

(So much for not talking about the other site Penny Gossip overrides any rule like that )

ohhh even these experienced gossip ears???

If you embelished the facts, even just a little bit then it would count as gossip... then I can embelish the facts just a little bit when I pass it on (what good is gossip if you can't pass it on!)
