How did you hear of SD net

Post by Shrykull »

Just wondering, are most people here from ASVS? I'm wondering if pretty much all the regulars are here just under different names, haven't seen Kynes, or Jonathan Boyd for a while (maybe he ran off after Mike posted that E-mail exchange on his creationist hate mail page) but a few of you I recognize, like Poe, Phong and Strowbridge.

I actually came here from Lord Poe's website.
The revolution is successful, but survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives means slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered.

Well, partially ASVS and partially my own semi-regular visits to the site before it gained a BBS.

I was surfing and slammed into the coral reef known as SD.Net. It hurt...but it was a good kind of hurt.

Surfed Metacrawler for "Star Destroyer" since I like them and came up with this site. It didn't have a forum at the time.

I discovered the main site just surfing around one day, after that I checked for updates pretty regularaly. I somehow missed the announcement the board had been created for more than a week.

Creationweb. A secret organization whose name I cannot mention came, and sent me a link to here, and I've been here ever since.

I came to SDnet before I came to ASVS. Found the link on Tony Case's "I Hate Star Trek" page's guestbook.

ASVS. I never posted enough or debated there, so I was never really a full-fledged member (sorta like here), but regardless, ASVS led me to SDnet.

I was surfing the web and searching on Stardestroyer related topics, found Mike's site and started visiting it reguarly to see stupid Trekkies getting pounded into the dirt for about a year. Then I saw a BBS started, lurked for about two weeks and decided to join.

Well if he wants to bash himself who are we to stop him?

Anyway, I did a Yahoo! search for AT-ATs and it brought me to his Armor units page.

I found the site back in my infacy of St vs Sw debating, there was a link used on sw.com forums, that bought me here.

I found it while surfing for fanfics to read when I was off work for a week last September.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

When I was volunteering at VBS for a week, my friends and I were working on setting up tables and talking about ST vs. SW(as all good geeks do) and this new guy mentioned the website that showed that the Federation was doomed. I came, and I stayed, it was about 4 years ago.

I can't be certain, but I think I saw a link from the SWG forums, way back, obviously a while before it was released.

I was searching for SW vs ST subjects, and I found the SW vs ST webring. One of the links was Mike's site (a couple years before the BBS came out). When the BBS did come out, I signed up within the first week.

I found his main site when I did a google search on "economy and star trek".
I checked it for a while for updates for I dunno, 6 months, before the board was created.
