I've been here for awhile, started as a lurker and then made a comment of some sort, and was hooked.
I never knew the history and am very impressed by the efforts of the few for the many.
But that being said the "mods" still make me nervous, however I am more then thankfull that they're here.

Well, since everyone else is saying, I came here through www.fark.com, which I got to through www.wilwheaton.net, which I got to through www.slashdot.org. This was sometime last year in late February or early March, and I believe that was around the end of v1.

I need to clarify a coupla things, Please dont assume Im ass kissing, coz im not.
Im not scared of him for any reason I can think of. Upmost respect in fact. All the posts I've read of his shine. Smart, friendly, thoughtfull, never mean, cant fault the guy.
Maybe its just a respect thing. Ive never spoken to him in person but far as I know hes the nicest person you or I'll ever meet.
Its just when I see his avatar maybe coz Ive associated him with this great place it makes me shudder a little. My palms sweat a little, I pause a little more between typing bursts.



"Behold!, the great one has arrived, He is here, amongst us!, PRAISE BE!"

I know Ive said this before but, I just dont get it? All the people Ive "met" here are so fucking cool.


I wish I had friends like this in real life.

I arrived at tfp in march before 3 crashed. I'd grown to love this site it such a short time, so when it crashed I was bummed. Then tfp4 was made and I've been a happy camper ever since.

I wouldn't say Hal scares me. Not at all. I just have the utmost respect for him.

I got here through the boobies link at 'ol Fark. At first I saw the whole "sign in" bit, and It scared me becuase I thought I was supposed to pay. Later, I returned and tried to make an account. Imagine my surprize when it didn't cost a cent. I was extra-greatful and have been addicted ever since. As for the mods and Halx, I respect their descisiouns and feel that they are, however all-powerful they may be, good people, and it wouldn't be the same place without them. Thanks to all the mods for making the TFP the wonderful place it is.

Great history lesson. I too came in to TFP from Fark.com, and that was around April of 2002. Took me along time to post because of my schedule, so I always opted to donate when I could. I donate not because of the Titties(well..ok, I still hit the titty board) but because I enjoy the cultural differences on this board.

Art really amazes me by his lifestyle and his ability to think in a different shade, and that draws me in even more because it challenges the way I was brought up. That alone will make me a better person.

I started in v.3 early summer through Fark.
I was a lurker at first, but just before the first lurker purge,
I started saying Thanks and rating threads.
Then I started seeing the other forums, and there was no turning back.

The rep's been building ever since.
Good, bad or ugly. Hopefully, mostly good.

I've been addicted to Halx's uber-Internet-crack for almost a year now,
around the fall I started giving back to the site I came to care about,
involving myself in the avatar vote & a get-together,
and became a mod shortly thereafter.

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your experiment.
sharing in the words & thoughts of my fellow members
and working with my fellow mods to make this wonderful site better.

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.

I followed the same route that most did back in mid-2002.

Fark to Titty Board to TFP proper.

It seems to be a natural progression that most undertake (I now find Fark to be like a candle to the sun). What I wonder is... what comes after TFP in the web voyage of life?

I also as most of the original crew found TFP through Fark. I was a lurker at the beginning and finally registered about April 02. I've been here ever since. Through the growing pains (eliminating about 25,000 lurkers?!) and the re-incarnations. Always for the better!

After being here so long, I finally learned the origins. Great story.

Thanks Hal for your efforts. They are greatly appreciated by many.

I also found it through Fark. Saw the original posting on the front, but didn't click. Joined v.2, but it crashed about a week later and I didn't come back for a loooong time (thought that since it had crashed, that would be it and over and done deal.......yes, I was very wrong). Very happy that it's back up and running.

Veni.

Still working on Vici. (Haven't figured out what it would mean in a TFP context anyway, so it's a bit hard to do if you haven't got a clue what it involves!)

I came via Fark, at some stage during V.2 in early 2002. I think it wasn't necessary then to actually register to view? That seems to be the first change I can remember.

This place is like a huge subterranean complex that I used to visit in my dreams as a child - always more corridors and stairways to explore, new rooms to find, new things to see.

Anyway, thanks to the mods for running this place and reincarnating it when it has died, and to everyone else for putting yourselves into it!

Man, glad to hear the story of how TFP was born. Now I just hope I'm here for it's skinned-knees childhood and it's "fumbling in the backseat" teenage years.

I've never been interested in posting on boards before, but something about TFp and the people on it pulled me in and got me posting. Thanks folks.

Thanks to everyone who started it and keep it going day to day. It's a great site.

I've been kicked off TFP about 3 times. why? for being a porn surfer. to this day i'm a porn surfer. but as far as those tactics to getting people into the other boards. they worked. as soon as i was tired of ass kissing people like Candyman and other for thier great xxx link posts. i had to find another place to post so you wouldn't boot my ass out again. now i love the Games and Music boards and the photshop shit thats done around here is amazing. i do miss the porn but everything else around here is so loving and open it's tremendous.

That's my story. When I first Registered, I accidently registered as Spianch_Indeed. I made about 15 posts before relizing my error, and decided just to keep that name because I was lazy. Luckily though, V3.0 crashed, allowing me to get my proper names.

Good Times. Good Friends.

Great story.. I have wonderd where it came from aswell.

My story for finding TFP is unkown to me (I have a verry selective memory for some reason). I found the place just before v.3 crashed and registerd. To be honest it was the Titty Board that interested me the most but i checked Humor as well. I still mostly hang out in the TB and Humor board but i quiet often check in on General Discussion and Members playground to see if there is any topic I find interesting.

Someday I might even post a pic of myself here aswell.. nopt that i think anyone would be interested but still I think my buttugly face would bring out a few laughs at least.

Hmm, I got referred here by a friend one day. He was like, "Whats up" and when I told him I was lookin' for porn he linked me here and mentioned something about it being a UT board back when. I wasn't really looking for porn, I just didn't want to talk but I followed the link anyways. The boobs were nice but I found the people much more interesting. So I stayed.

I was told about TFP by juanvaldes, one of the mods here. I met juanvaldes at MacNN.com (a Mac board). I enjoy discussing Mac-related topics, but other than that MacNN did not have "substance" like TFP does. A few months ago (Spring 2003, I think) Juan told me about this place and said that it was for "mature people", so I checked it out under a different name then. Of course the Titty Board was a bonus! But like Halx said even porn surfers have other sides to them.

Thanks Halx for this site. And thanks juanvaldes for referring me. The one thing I have noticed (which I LOVE about TFP) is that the people here are NOT mean to one another. Either the mods are doing a super-great job (which I'm sure they are) or people are generally VERY respectful of each other here, and to that I say THANK YOU! At last, a place where I can call HOME.

I also came in through fark, but it was close to the end of v3 (March 2003 I think, not long after I turned 21). It took me a while to decide to participate. I think I went through a similar stage to many others: "is this for real? a useful forum about life?".

Glad to say I'm still here.

I came to this special place in the first version of TFP. It was a place like no other. Like everybody else it seem I got here via FARK and was that a find. The board has gotten really good over the years because Hal always gave it his first priority. The three crashes were difficult but every one has been the rebirth of something better. Losing post counts were the biggest trauma but that was petty at best. Buddah, Liquor Dealer, BuCoMoFo, Bobby and Sixate are names that go way back. This environment bonds you, it opens the mind and frees the soul. Hal vision may have never come to this had the big crashes not occurred. We all held our breath and gave thanks each time a resurrection took place. It a storied history and a brotherhood that binds us all who have been here. This is a great story.
