I joined during a time when the Mordor forums were getting kind of quiet.

I remember I was looking for a manual for Pinball Fantasies - but couldn't find it anywhere. I found Pinball Dreams though on this site and saw they had quite a few good games (it was prior to ESA encounter - so the site still hosted LOST VIKINGS). Some time later (when I finally got the cable conection at my apartment) I returned to this site - and saw how many new things it had.

I was very surprised to see that the site was being translated to Croatian (I even sent in some translations of my own).

I was really hooked on Project Nomad, but couldn't really remember the name of it. So I joined the forum, introduced myself (got a warm welcome) and finally asked about the game. I got a chance to review it - along with some other games - and seeing my reviews posted to the site really got me hooked - especially after the Slovene translations got going.

Also the comunity here has always been very friendly and I try my best to keep that spirit going.

I came here to ask a technical question and I kind of got stuck here... much like an inquisitive explorer gets stuck in particularly slow quicksand.

i seriously don't know what made me stay, the forum was as good as empty with about two posts a day (I'd call that a good day) but quickly things started rolling and we got new members. I've even personally welcomed a few of the now moderators to the forum!

One day I was searching for some old game (don't remember) and came to this site. I liked it very much and decided to join the community.

I found the site while looking for Ultima VI because I had a hankerin' to relive the carefree days of my youth. This was before the ESA crackdown, so I picked up U6 and a coupe of other classics I remembered.

I stayed because Chuck's such a nice guy.

I was searching for abandoned games, and I stumpled upon abandonia, I saw there was a Croatian version, I was stunned, so I decided to take a look at the forums and saw that "Games in need of reviews" topic, fromm there on I uploaded a game and made a review...
I made a couple of other reviews(I'm lazy now), but I've decided to stick here because of people...

I joined to annoy Reamus, among other reasons. :bleh: :wub:

I'm still here because I'm addicted, and I'm waiting until I get my computer so I can actually start playing games

Joined because I saw this site in a magazine article, and after I figured out that MSN's DL manager refuses to coperate with HOTU, I cam over to here

I stayed because its a nice place, nice people, and over all a very nice site. Plustheres another moogle fan...which is always a bonus

I joined because I had been hovering around the site for a year and yet never took one look at the forums.
I stayed because I love all of you.
And for the realistic answer: For some reason, this place is fun.
