Just realised by some of Coke's posts that the main reason most people come here is to win a GAD....

The questions here are:

What made you join here?
How did you originally think that you won GAD?

I'll start, I joined after reading about GAD and thought that you won by a random draw from the posts that you made in a day. It wasn't until I asked in the forums that I actually found out by Edgy having a go at me....

Also Alex+Daxter kinda had a go at me too...

Everyone had a go at me......

Everytime Rakuga won Game A Day, he'd brag to me about it, so I decided to see what it was all about. First time, well over a year ago, the layout scared me off (so many links and stuff) then he kept winning, so I decided to join and low and behold, a few days later I won! Anyway, yes, I originally joined just for GAD, but if it ended now, I'd still come to the forums and still review stuff

I just discovered this site by mistake, I was looking for cheats for GTA3 and this site came up, so I just joined to see what it was like. As for the GAD's I dont bother much with them because I aint won anything in my life so I probably wont start now.

I joined just because of the ad in the back of a mag. Everything just sounded so good. "Join the club" "Get all this free when you join" "Would you cheat on Lara?"
mmmmmmm. . . Lara Croft! *drools*
"The chance to win the Game or DVD of your choice every single day."

Actually, with that last one, I originally thought that, if you won, a game or DVD of your choice arrived in the post every single day for life unless you cancelled it.

I also joined because I thought it'd be easier to order my games from home rather than get off my backside to go to the local shops.

I was looking for This Is Football 2002 info and Google came up with ukps2.com . When I got here I recognised the logo from some magazines I read. I then joined to post something on TIF2002 and then when I was reading through other topics I saw one was gold, wondered what it was about, found out about GAD and got hooked. :D

I came across this site when in an msn convo with smooth criminal and Howarrob (both real life friends), and they were chatting about how Rob had dissed the Xbox, or something silly like that. So i clicked on the site, and i did'nt really have any interest/have a clue what this site was all about.

So a couple of days later in my spare time, i decided to check out the site again and decided to join. I did'nt know what GAD was until about 2 months into my registration!

I join whilst on the look for cheats and hints for GTA3. I already had loads but wanted to see if there was more. I searched on google and this site appeared in its own box at the side. So I entered and when I found MORE cheats, I though "This site has one of the best databases ever!".

Then I joined the chat but didnt come back for a week. I was bored oneday and came here to pass the time. Then I read of the GAD thing and submitted a Silent Hill 2 walkthrough. I won on my second ever day! I couldn't belive this. This site was so great, until I was cought cheating and banned. I never recieve my prize. But I signed up and am never cheating again.

Now I'm here typing this messege and thinking about how to end it... eh... :)

Well, I joined right at the start after seeing an ad in the SR club mag. Indeed, I remember when they picked GAD winners at 6pm that day sharp, there was no spam, there were no staff here and all was calm! Only cooky is older than me!

I've known about Special Reserve for years and i've been a member with my brother for years. I knew about the GAD thing from looking through the SR mags, but as I didn't have access to the net I didn't really take much notice, but when I first got on the net I came on here a few times and loved the site; I wrote some reviews and was luckily enough to win with a couple of them, then I wrote posts on the forums and i've enjoyed writing on here since.
The forums are full of great characters, funny writers and has a great forum community spirit, and I enjoy writing reviews and posts, so to be able to sometimes win stuff for them makes it even better.
