During the time I mostly hung out at the DoW2 forums I clicked on a link and ended up at the ZP for 'Alone in the Dark'... I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair.
The thing that made me stick around, though, were the forums. Too many interesting topics and people to just leave. ^^

I swear to god, if one more person quotes Yahtzee again, I will internet-slap them with cancer.

...Also, it's very nice here. Awesome forums and such.

Like everyone else I also got hooked on yhatzee but it isn't what made me join. I joined because my friend said it was awesome so I was all like 'totally sweet man I'll like totally check it out on the rebound' (I don't really talk like that I just get silly when I am tired, awake and everything between, below and above).

What kept me here was the interesting and fun topics I saw, I especially like open-discussion threads as long as they don't become targets for the banhammer and probation-pistol (I know it isn't called that but like I said ... pistol (jks)...like I said...silly.

Stumbled across ZP's Duke Nukem Forever review from a link somewhere, had not laughed so hard in weeks. From there i watched all of ZP then i was checking out the forums and felt the urge to join in. Serious the forums here are so well moderated and the community is willing to debate rather than have a shouting match.

EDIT: Almost forgot, the Unforgotten Realms i recently got into, the intro to the second episode will remain my favourite intro to anything ever for some time i imagine :D

Zero Punctuation got me on the site, after I found to find out the forum here was nice and didn't have swarms of moronic fanboys who're ready to throw down the gauntlet on anyone who's favorite system isn't the [Fintendo 180]. Actual discussions happen here and there's far far far less idiots going on flame wars.

I needed to find a different forum to the one I was joined with at the time if I wanted to discuss gaming with internet people, as it seemed to be filled with generally idiots. The worst I've seen on these forums so far is grammar nazis and generally pedantic people but it's still not a bad forum.

Zero Punctuation got me here and I stayed due to the (now dwindling) forum quality.

My friend showed me ZP that she saw in class (somehow) because she knew I'd love it. Then I starting checking out the forums.

I found the first 2 video that yahtzee made on youtube(the darkness and fable). Then he said he would be on the escapist magazine (and something about the gumdrop king) so I followed. Then i noticed the forums . . .

On: ZP.
Stay: UR, Unskippable, There Will Be Brawl and, last but not least, the forums of course.
