What made you come here? Was it a game, a friend, the people or something else? I came here around the time of Geneforge 2. I'd played Geneforge 2 and had really liked it. I came here to talk about Geneforge 3 with other people. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I came here looking for some answers for E3 and posted in one of the "What did you put in your crystal?" threads that popped up frequently at the time. Posts: 60 | Registered: Wednesday, August 7 2002 07:00 |

The new link on the Spiderweb homepage said Forums, and I just couldn't resist. I lurked for much longer than I would have wanted, but I just did not have anything enlightening to say. Of course, that usually does not stop most people from posting. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

I came back to Spiderweb to download Geneforge 2, only to find that Geneforge 3 was in the works. I made a brief appearance each time a new game came out (only really three times, but still...), and was unwilling to leave after G4, finding that my personality was quite congruent with the discussion in the General Forum. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

I found a demo of Geneforge I and Geneforge II, decided to check out Spiderweb, found the forums, liked it, stayed, left, and now I'm back. -------------------- Constitutional monarchies are the in monarchies. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

I came here after Avernum 4 was out. It gave me a place to post advice since I had played the Exile and Avernum games. Now I'm stuck. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I curiously Googled Geneforge 3 (before the release). The first result was the topic about improvements for the game. I joined with my friend, posted many lists of ideas, and just stayed. Later my friend was bored with this place, so he left. I was kind of relieved because he kept [alliteration] posting pointless polls...[/alliteration] -------------------- Bring back TM or [i]DIE.[/i] To spread the hype, as well as cause your crush's name to appear on the screen, copy this into your signature.

Didn't we recently do this? No, maybe it was longer ago than I thought. Anyway, Dikiyoba happened across a discussion of unsellable trowels and thought, "Hey, these people are nuts!" Dikiyoba did not hesitate to participate in the madness. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I first happened across the forums when looking for information that would allow me to best choose what BoA scenarios to play. Though I did not register an account, I did find some very useful information, and recognized the game forums as a potential resource. I came back about a year later when my brother and I decided that we wanted to try our collective hand at scenario writing. Our first post was in Thralni's topic on Nephilian, recommending that alongside of grammar, he should consider the cultural and historical context of a language. Not knowing what I'd done, we delved a little deeper into the community. The rest is all but history. -------------------- The Silent Assassin wanted us to join the forums just so that he could find out how Exile 2 ended. We bought the Avernum trilogy instead. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny? Ushmushmeifa: Lenar's power is almighty and ineffable.

IIRC, the story that I usually tell is that I joined in anticipation of the release of BoA, wanting to get my foot in the door as one of the first designers from the very beginning. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I might be the only one who was drawn in here because of friends. I knew Imban, TM, Thuryl, Alec, Scorpius and the rest before I seriously noticed this place, and they directed and invited me here enough times that I started to take an interest in some topics. Then I was absent for almost two years and now I'm back again because I like art and caption threads.

I was looking for help while playing through Nethergate for the umpteenth time, and stumbled across these boards. I'm pretty sure it was the insanity and inanity that kept me here. :P -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

I always came here just to get the Geneforge character editors. One day I opened a Geneforge debate thread, discovered everyone's opinion was wrong, and have been correcting them ever since. I was never really a spammer like most new people are, but I was, according to the establishment, a flamer. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

In May 2003, Avernum 3 wouldn't run on my Windows NT computer without showering me in error messages. So I went to Tech Support and started that topic. Fortunately, since then I've switched to XP (and am currently in the process of switching to OpenSolaris), and haven't had the problem since. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Drakey told me to come to the shiny new official Spiderweb board, so I did. I was drawn into the community, on the other hand, by Blades of Exile and the Arena. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Anyone who claims opinions can't be wrong is someone whose opinions have been wrong on more than one consecutive occasion. —Alorael, whose opinions are always right by definition.
