There was a request for a thread to show what forum people came from. CM failed to do this, so here I am. 
As you walk down the corridor, you pass serious men in dark suits, with sunglasses that would make the gloomy corridor even harder to see (if that was possible) and cigars poking out of their mouths. The thick dark smoke almost suffocates you, but you move on anyway.
You reach the end of the corridor, there is a door there. You open it. Inside there is a desk, standing on each side of the half-hidden desk were two men, almost identical to the ones outside.
Thin blue smoke rises from the desk, you briefly see a mouth and part of a nose come out of the gloom that shadowed the upper portion of the desk, but it retreats. You hear a creaking noise as of a person leaning back on a swivel chair.
A thin raspy voice announces "Welcome, I am Oozae, head of the Immigration Department of GameBanshee." The fear you have experienced trudging through the gloomy corridor suddenly rises to a new level as you hear the voice. It continues "Sit down, and state your name, what forum/s you are currently in and what forum/s you have migrated from."
You sit down on the comfortable leather chair and a sheef of paper is thrust towards you. As you start to write, the thin raspy voice once again speaks to you in it's menacing way. "Be warned, if you are illegaly staying in two forums or have illegaly migrated to another forum you will be prosecuted."

| | My name is Weasel, I was a forum junkie.
I migrated to (2)GameBanshee from another RPG site(1), which I cannot name because I just can't. I had very few post at this other site before the (deleted) ..just say it went bad.
After joining GB, I then reached forth and joined another site to feed my habit. A RTK site (3)
Not having enough, I then joined a Civ site (4)
Then Scayde got a board (5)
As of now, I post at GB, lurk at both the RTK site and Civ. Sadly my connection speed denies me posting or lurking at Scayde's board.

| | Scayde has a board? 
Anyway, what I meant was, that no-one actually joined to post in SYM but in a game forum, so they migrated into SYM, I was just curious about what forum they migrated from. Oh and could you please tell me what forums you are currently posting in Weasel, thanks

A wise man tells not in which his origins are. Instead, he simply uses it as an effective discussion tool when he needs it most | | |

Actually, I joined the forums one day to give IM advice on his girl trouble back in October. I rarely use the actual game forums. I rarely play games anymore, although I happen to still buy them...stupid me.

I haven't used computer for few years and that means that I haven't been in forums for sometime. Reason why I am here is just becuse I found this site from google search. As for my name it is quite old too.

The securitylevel was high all throughout the building. From the outside, the building looked pretty new, but inside, it looked like an old pub or something. All that smoke! It was ruining my long leather coat, and I could barely see the door.
I opened it. A desk and even more security, but I was not affraid. It was just a facade. The smoke, the gloomy atmosphere. Maybe they couldn't afford more lights. Even the furniture was old and creaking.
A thin raspy voice announced: "Welcome, I am Oozae, head of the Immigration Department of GameBanshee."
All that bureaucratic nonsense. The irritation I had experienced trudging through the sufficating smoke suddenly rose to a new level as I heared the voice. He offered me a seat and wanted me to fill in the paper on the desk.
Surprisingly, the chair looked comfortable, but I wasn't going to sit down. Instead, I looked straight at him and told him: "I'm coming from nowhere, I'm going nowhere, and right now, I seem to be right here." I turned around. My coat blew the smoke through the small room, reviving it like throwing a rock in a clear pond. When the smoke stopped swirling, all that the the guy behind the desk and the two guards were looking at, was a closed door.

I believe my first posts on Gamebanshee were in the IWD forum when the game came out, it was a while ago now lol!. I then migrated to Baldurs Gate and SoA, before stumbling into SYM.
