"What made you come to this site?"

I knew of Special Reserve before this forum came about, as my brother is a member, so I came on the site looking at the prices, and saw the link to Gameaday. I looked at some of the topics, and I found them interesting. People were willing to read what I had written, and reply. It was all about discussion.

Now if you start a new topic, as a 'newbie' you get bitter and twisted replies like "Trying to win a game with one post?" Sometimes when this person has been on the other forums for months! And I saw someone having a go at Rav, he's been coming on here for ages!
This is not an exclusive club. I am thankful for the games I've won, as in my current situation, I can't afford to buy many.

Can you honestly say that you weren't drawn into this forum by the chance to win a game, as well as the intelligent, and sometimes not so intelligent discussions? Did people have a go at you when you first posted?

All of this moaning is ruining the forum for those that like to use it to discuss games and gaming.

ahhhhhhhh............Grix 25.........brain 5.

It was a guy called TheBest (Darkness_2K) who introduced me to it. At first I just wanted to win a game but then I realised that discussing with other people was fun!!! Apart from Tigerblade of course. I just can't see why people don't want to stay after they've won.
PS- DURACELL BATTERY MAN'S WINNING GAME IDEA WAS COPIED FORM A PSM MAG!!!

Not a very practical one, mind...

Snipe! Guess how old I am!

ConsoleAMonth would be a good idea.....

Grix i don't know. I stayed on because, i don't really know, i got a bit interested, and people got to know me better, so i stayed, yeah i won, i want to win again, but one day it will happen you can't expect any better with a free game.

And to one day fall around laughing as we type "Welsh" to each other.

I thought BJ's question a good one, I came on here about 6 weeks (?) ago to win a game from a link on a competitions website. I did win, but a more interesting question arose:- Why did I stay?
Not being a member of SR but having seen their press ads etc., I knew they would get a lot of visits. So for me I stayed because I know that my posts will have an audience (however brief) and that what I say may oneday have an affect on the future of gaming, which is a subject close to my heart seeing as how I want to continue playing games well into the future.

How old do you think I am anyway Snipe?

Look Monday's aren't the best day for anyone, you go back to work, some of us go to school and find their first lesson is French with the teacher they hate and than some of us have so much work to do they get so tired while coming here.
