How did you find Gamebanshee?

[Bloodstalker]

[QUOTE=Kayos]i was google searching banshee for a history paper on ireland and this came up. after i figured out that it had nothing to do with actual banshees, i started snooping around the forums. i discovered that it was an RPG gamer site, i figured that it must have KOTOR I & II. since then its been one of the sites i haunt. but hey, i got an A on my report. lol[/QUOTE]


Well, that has to be possibly the winner of the "most improbable entrance" award

Me, I was a Dungeon refugee who came here after that place closed down and I lost the bookmarks to another forum I was using as a substitute. I don't know exactly what happened after that, but somehow, I think I was taken in kinda like a stray puppy.

Eureka! I found it!

... in the same way as Ravager and C Elegans: looking for a walkthrough on Baldur's Gate, mostly on the NPC's. It took me a few months to stumble to the vast jungle where everyone speaks his mind. And I'm still stuck.

Please someone throw a five or an eight! I want to leave Jumanji! LEAVE!!

I think I was trying to find some walktrough info about several games and in here the interface seemed most practical. Also here is info about most of the games I'm interested in.

[JonIrenicus]

went to google.com and typed in baldur's gate ii walkthrough. Two years later I joined the forums.

[Magelord648]

You all took a long time to join. I joined within weeks of finding GB.

[Damuna_Nova]

I believe I joined straightaway.

...Then didn't come back for around half a year.

[Fiberfar]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.... Darn it if I remember. It had probably something to do with Neverwinter Nights I guess

[Dragon Reborn]

i was getting sick of game faqs forums and how if you where new you could only post so many posts per day but the only way to move up to a higher "rank" was to POST...so i searched google for a ESVI oblivion forum and found this

[Maharlika]

I was a regular visitor from another website that also dealt with RPG's like Baldur's Gate 2.

It took me awhile though to visit SYM.

[Dowaco]

Joined for the KOTOR forums and left soon afterwards.
Found it again independently, for Oblivion and was surprised that I was already registered and my password saved in Firefox. I did not really explore other parts of the site until I PMed Fable with a question and he sent me to look at other subforums.

[ik911]

I was recruited by arno_v. He's gone to infrequent lurking status. I'm haunting this place like the ghost ship it is. And that's the entire story, kids. [even creepier]Good night[/even creepier]

[QUOTE=dragon wench]Rav has *many* more posts than I..[/QUOTE]

And nearly Fable...

I visited SYM because I clicked on a moved thread... I tend to drift in and out...

[QUOTE=dragon wench]@DN,
Anomen ended up being inspiring, though not exactly in the way the game developers intended



What I do remember is that when I joined, almost the entire GB population of the time had arrived because of BG2 [/QUOTE]I came for the appetizers, but stayed for the desert.

I was drawn to GB like an under-sexed moth to a Dark Flame. :mischief:

Or maybe I was searching for help in BG2 like so many others. Really, I am still impressed by how that one game spawned such a huge community. No game since has had the same appeal, and I doubt very much that cosmic alignments will allow another such game anytime soon. Still, I searched and lurked for a long time before being inspired to post. The GB forums also inspired me to play BG2 in several different ways, as well as other games. Really, game developers should be giving Buck royalties.

lol Gwally! Does that mean you are going to start leaving Crimson Rhodelias around GB?

[ch85us2001]

I just needed some followers to worship me, so I created the guise of looking for information on Morrowind. Then I "pretended" to be enlightened to the way of high post counts (Spam). Developed my unhealthy fear of Xandax, met Hill1, tried to kill him when he turned to the dark side and became Darth Shatar (In an eerily similar way to SW Episode III) and went to hide in a small corner of the galaxy, until one day, I will return in full.

I too have been inspired to play different builds with the GB BGII forum. Like wildmage...

[Tower_Master]

[QUOTE=dragon wench]I think we might have had threads like this before, but I can't think of a good key word to put in the search engine Anyway, new peoples here and all, so it doesn't matter

I came here looking for information on BG2, specifically on that wannabee paladin Anomen [/QUOTE]

Muah ha - 'twas Jaheira and her intricate ballet of...ok, insert your own *'hem* here, that brought me to GB, although it took me two years to click on that little "SYM" button, and fall into Sytze's and Lu's trap.

Gwal - if by desert, you mean periodic floggings, you're a genius.

lol yes, but its all true. and exciting. i got an A on a paper and i found the perfect site for RPG walkthroughs. i was very proud of myself lol.

[QUOTE=Magelord648]You all took a long time to join. I joined within weeks of finding GB.[/QUOTE]
i was searching the KotOR forums the same day and attempted to post. luckily i figured that if i wanted to post, i had to join. ahh yes i remeber it well. my post was crap. i have indeed come far... (yea right! :laugh so essentially, i joined the very day i found it... and ive been terrified of the high post counts of others every since...

[Xandax]

Like so many others it was in reference with the BG games.
I can't remember the excat circumstances anymore though -afterall it is 5½ year ago - so whether it was BG1 or BG2 I can't rembember, and I belive I registered when I found it and posted in the BG2 forum which were about the only forum back then .
Have sticked around since.

Dear me. I wished I should've joined the very first day that I came searching for the Fable walkthrough last October. Oh well. Better late than never.

Don't need to be afraid of me.:laugh: I joined the forums 3 months later than you.

P.S. Wow, I didn't know that Baldur's Gate is that popular in this forum (saw quite a number of people viewing it) and also the main reason a lot of people joined GameBanshee.
