How did you find EverCrest, and what happened between when you found it and when you registered?

I found EC on flameplay, I think, and read all the comics in a day. Getting bored, I clicked on the forum link and giggled at the url (ihatelinux)... but it kept going on and on, so I gave up and went elsewhere.

I kept reading the comics everyday. Then, I eventually clicked on the forums link again. This time I walked away from my computer to do something, and came back and found the forums. I read a few threads and then registered. Promptly making an ass out of myself and being shamed, I began my long process of becoming a better person.

Your turn, dagnabit!

Oh shi...

A friend aimed me at /GU comics. Once there, I decided to find out just what an internet forum was like, and clicked on the forum link. Later, I decided to check out the main forum that /GU was part of.

It was associated somewhat with EverQuest. So, I looked into it.
There was a signature here... it's gone now.

I stumbled upon it, I don't remember how or why. I read all the comics in one day, came to the board, and was promptly called "Buckethead" because my sigpic was my EQ character.. a human in a bronze helm. This was back when bronze was uber.

It stuck.

I mean the name, not the helm.

I got into the comic around the GeoCities era, i.e. when it was first started. I think I found the link on some EQ news site somewhere, but I don't remember which. It was green.

I didn't check the forums for years, though. Never looked until they got their own domain...sometime soon after Stratics.

I found it through some EQ site. Eq vault or some shit like that. anyways, I read through every comic, then signed up and began posting in the same day. The end.

And with that, Vorbo was kidnapped, never to be seen again.

In all seriousness... I got pointed to it at some point while the comic was on hiatus. I think I clicked the link on the /gu site, then went all "WTF" when the news said the comic was on vacation. I didn't even notice the link to the forums until about a month later. I click, I register, I make my very first post with a picture of Frankie in it. I posted a bit in a few other threads, then vanished for a little while. Then I came back and made a very bad reputation for myself over something that I honestly thought was hysterical at the time, simply because it got a reaction. Then Kloie came into existance, and you pretty much know the rest.

If I remember right, my brother was checking out some links online, and said this place had pretty funny comics. So I came here and started reading (from #1) every comic on the site, including Bard's Log (I think thats what it was called) and Kennatsu's comic.

A few months later, when Drysart finally stopped making comics, I started wondering what was going on, and checked forums, and was met by a "You must log in or register to view this forum message." Well, being the shy guy I am, I left the page, and checked back to the front page to see if a new comic was ever going to be put up again. Another few months later, I registered and started looking around, posting in some post another new guy made (and I don't think I ever saw that guy again) and officially joined EC.

The end.

Eh, was searching around various EQ links, when one site came up with /GU and Evercrest. Read both archives in one day. Then, since I had been warned off registering at the forums by someone at the Safehouse I think it was, I decided to cut my teeth on the /GU forums. A few months later, I felt I was ready to take on the main boards. Man was I wrong.

When Whineplay entered it's final gasps of life I came here, I'd been reading the comics before, just never saw the forums, lurked for.. three, four months, then wanted to respond to something.. and had to register, never did respond.. I don't think... may have.

Anyway, whineplays death resulted in my coming here.

I was trolling the flameplay boards, being a dick as usual, when I came across a post saying that this comic and /GU had both gone belly-up because that one site (can't remember which) pulled the plug on everything EQ related.

EverCrest came back up, I read all the comics, and hit the boards.

I used to read UO comics when I played it and when I transfered over to EQ comics. I figure I probably found it linked off of some EQ fansite. Kinda stumbled into the forum after a while and lurked ever since.

Read the comics back when the link was still on Stratics. (To my shame, I admit that I used to not have it in favorites, I only accessed it through Stratics when I went there) and then joined the forums back when they were the OLD forums. You know, they showed every reply to every post in an outline fashion?

I remember when I roleplayed all serious with every one of my posts, and would end each post with a Inkie's Advice for the Day.

Or something like that.
