Well, as I see we have a few stories going, I think I'll share mine about coming to the TFP...

One day, about a couple years ago, I was bored. And by that, I mean REALLY bored. I was 18 then and seizing my newfound right to look legally at Internet porn... but the problem was that I, being cashless, STILL couldn't look at the paysites. So I was just typing in random words and using them as .coms, and one of them was "biznizzy.com." I went to the site, and it was kind of boring. So I went to the links bar, to see if any of the sites there were porn. I clicked a bunch, but they all turned out to be about the same. One thing was a bit odd though. All the sites that I went to seemed to have the same links bar, or at least similar links bars. I noticed a recurring banner for FARK.COM, but I didn't click on it until I realized that all the others weren't porn. Immediately, I came to enjoy it quite a bit. I lurked there for a VERY long time, eventually registered under the name K.W.S.N. (with the dots) and stuck around for the boobies. I noticed the titty board link one day, but for some reason I wasn't that interested (go figure). I began to get into the Fark IRC a lot after Fark started to bore me a bit, and I quickly became a regular there. For almost I year I stuck around in there. I remember Hal (Halx36) was one of the regulars there too. Despite his presence, I still never bothered to go near the TFP. Until one day, when I got drunk and decided to troll Fark. Within five minutes of idiocy, I was banned. I told a friend of mine (who is known as Diablo here) that I needed a new site to go to, and he told me about the TFP. I decided to give it a try, because there was really nothing else I could do. This was August 2002. Within about 5 minutes, I fell in love with the titty board, and I was the happiest person alive. I got about 70 posts, but then I faded away, due to the fact that I had seen just about everything there after constant surfing it for a week. Until November, I kept myself amused in other ways. But one day, in a fit of boredom, I decided to go on the TFP for the hell of it.. and lo and behold: MORE FORUMS! I decided to get into the discussion forums (see how they sized up to Fark discussion) and I was hooked right away. Since then, I've become a bit of a prominent figure here (ish) and I hope to keep it that way. I've been on this board and interested for WAY longer than any other board I've ever signed up to, and I hope it stays that way. My favorite part of the board right now is the Nonsense board... it's just ridiculously fun (actually, I made a thread in TFP v3 suggesting a Nonsense board (even though at the time the All-Billege forum was around) so I consider myself important in its existence )

Hal, this board is great... the way it's running now, I don't think you need to change a thing. Ever.
