How did you find us?
 
Well, there are a lot of newer members who have joined, so I would like to ask all of you how you found the Oddworld Forums.

I found the Oddworld Forums from Oddworld.com (Oddworld Inhabitants). But i did once or twice go to the ezboard Oddworld Forums, im sure of this. But i never signed up, i didn't have the internet at the time, i was at a friends. I should have signed up. I regret it now...

But apart from that, how did you find us?

cool
 
Well at the time I was visiting Oddworld.com a lot. I was sitting in my school Lybrary when I was just trying to find other sites that pretain to Oddworld. So I clicked on search and so many sites poped up. I came to this one because when I first saw this place I thought to myself I can really put my opinion out on Oddworld and people all over the place would know my views. And plus I thought it looked like everyone in here was haveing some fun. Plus at the time I alweys wanted to put topics on the internet but I just dident know exactly how and mainly I wanted to get involved with the Oddworld community. So I went ahead and filled out the register not even giveing a second thought that I would be one of the members the next day. So I said this won't work so I left it and well the next day here I am. My original name I was going to make myself was Scrab1000. But I could not use that name at the time because it wouldent let me. So I had to think of something else and that was Paramiteabe. I just thought Paramites chaseing Abe and I put them together to get Paramiteabe.:fuzblink:

Well, I had found Oddworldian on one of my Google searches. Finally I decided to check out the forums, even though I didn't usually like forums. Boy, this one sure beats the other (non-oddworld) forums out there!

I was in the library one day and I had still some time left from my hour on the internet. So just somewhere I got the idea I could search for a site about Oddworld. I just randomly tried oddworld.com and it did exist.

We got our own net for last christmas and I'm not sure if it was that evening, or 25th when I went to try it out and visited oddworld.com again. I found to Oddchat and there were two peeps. Rachel must have still visited oddchat back then, because there were Dragadon, and some other regular (from the way they talked...), who's name I can't remember. Anyway, I can't remeber which one of them it was, but the other one told me to come here, and so I did.

I was just talking about this with Erik yesterday...Weird. :)

I heard of oddworld forums by my friend dark_xinos, he told me about a "fantastic" site. first I didn't belive him because I always have bad feelings about forums. but this one I really like and I think like dark_xinos, this site is fantastic.

Oddworld.com Plain and simple.

I was viseting Oddchat, and there was Beckah and Fazerina.
(I thought it was otherwhise but Faz corrected me yesterday)

And they were talking about the forums. And I asked "What forums?". They were chocked to hear that I, haddent heard of the forums, and I told them that I had come here via Oddworld.com. Then I signed on, and after a while peaple came on to the chat, and asked: "Are you xinos as in Dark_Xinos?"
And I thought that my username had finaly gotten known through out the web, and I was the new cybernet ruler...silly old me.

It just sayd whom was the newest member. Oh dear. Xinos gets shut down again...

Found it through Oddworld-Web...which I found using a search engine. It was back when I was still very much into Oddworld...

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away, I was on the internet! At the time I had finished all my games so I went through the old game rack and found Abe's Oddysee. I had tried to beat it when I was 6 years old, so now that I was 8 I decided to take a shot at it. Immediatly i fell in love again and thats how Generation Odd was created. So I tell my cousin, now she's an Oddworld freik too, met a kid asked if he had it, now we're best friends, so anyways It old lots of peopls and so now everyone was crazy about it. I decided to take a chance and see if there was an Oddworld.com. There was! So I was browsing through Oddworld.com when in the Dear Alf section I noticed that there was some shtuff I hadn't seen yet so I clicked on it. The first thing I went to was the old Ez board. If thats what that infrograph thing or whatever was. Well it looked interesting so I wanted to sign up. Said i was friggen too young so i saw the other oddworld forum. I clicked on it and found myself in a place that seemed a hell of a lot nicer. Cause when you go to a forum and the first post you see is called 'Munch suxs' you don't exactly feel welcome. So I saw some question that everyone was racking their brains out at and somehow I knew the answer. I wanted to post what it was but it said I had to register, so I registerd and now I finaly found my true calling in life! Staying up till 2:30 watching Comedy Centeral and going on the forums!
