How did you become a Strolenite? (How did you find our secret hideaway?)

Google led my way!
I found you through an online RPG resource (like dice roller's top 100)
A friend / family member / acquaintance told me about the site!
I sat at home entering random URLs and IPs into the browser...
Something else, let me tell you all about it...

Cool!

This poll is really exciting. Google is responsible for slightly over 50% of our new users, while the rest come from other places on the i-net.

Google.

I have no idea what I was googling for, but it came up showing Captain Penguin's House of the Yellow Priest.

Snared.

My discovery experience was very similar to Muro's. Aimless searching on google  back in 2004, resulted in me stumbling upon one of CP's postings. One look and I had fallen in love with this place.

Y'know, I have pretty much no clue anymore how I found the Citadel. Like Ria, I'm prone to wander off for extended periods - and then I end up back here somehow, and for a while the floodgates slam open and I pour all kinds of weirdness forth, in the forums and the main site alike. this time, I mainly seem to be producing submissions... and most of those are linked to Kuramen.

I blame Siren.

In the warm Norwegian summer of 04 I was the nightwatch man at an old hotel in the middle of nowhere. This gave me time to write RPG stuff and do other things I enjoy. I was actually tinkering with a norwegian rpg at the time. So I was prowling the net(yes, using google) in search of inspiration.
When I found this amazing place I joined at once. I did not intend to create as much as steal, but, alas. Here I am, still writing garbage from time to time;)

You see, I sat at home bored to death one day. Avidgamers was shut down due to maintanence, and RPGhost (The Keep) was starting to bore me due to the lack of knowledge of the rpers.

I started with the letter A, then went to B and then went to C and so on. After about a million times of hitting that enter button I found this place. Honestly I love everything about this site, and we have a great variety of people here. I'm glad that I was bored to the point of practically gouging my eyes out that day.

I'd subscribed to rpg tips weekly by John Four a couple years ago at least, and one time while poking through his newsletter I found a link to this place. Once I realized this place was the one I'd been searching for ever since I got online years ago, I decided to make it my homepage and stick around.

I've only just joined this site fairly recently, i found it through the almighty google, after a friend of mine who's also a complete RPG addict told me about it, and ive been kinda glued here ever since.
What is it about this place that keeps drawing me back??

Kassy, just curious, as i reread your post. This friend you mention, the rpg addict, who told you about the site. Is he a member? If not, why not?

Just curious :)

Well, were to begin?

I discovered this site about nine months ago, merely by chance as i was browsing through google looking for resources to help with my GM'ing. All of a sudden i stumble across this rare gem.

At the time i only read through it briefly, using it only to gather ideas for campaigns etc.

Then i introduced a friend of mine; Kassy, who i often RP with to it, and now a few months on I was daragged back here, thanks to her.

Wierd, isn't it?

We are all glad you mentioned it to Kassy. Now, if people would continue to spread the word, the site would continue to prosper and all would be good!

I found this on a random web search and  had actually been reading Citadel for years before 2006 when made my first post.  I would grab ideas or read for fun, but  it wasn't until I posted my own piece that I began to read the comments.  Prior to 2006 I used stuff from Citadel as resource center.  Reading the comments really changed my view of what was going on here.

It is a bit like Alice in Wonderland.

Instead of the white rabbit, I followed Scrasamax into the depths of the Citadel.

Sometimes I get lost along the way. But eventually I find my way back. I just have to follow Scras.

Thank you Bro.
