How did you find the OWF?

Well, a poll about how you found the OWF. It'd be funny to see if there are actually any other ways of finding it.

I found the OWF while looking at the Oddworld Inhabitants website.

Wired Here's my story

Well, after I got Munch's oddysee, and finished it, I wanted to get perfect quarma (the first time through I accidentally killed a couple of fuzzles ). Then when I got to the splinterz manufacturing, I couldn't find that last scrub... so I went to google and looked for a walkthrough when... I fould Oddworld Forums.

I'm the same as Alcar. After I finished MO with Bad, Good, and Angelic quarma I wanted to find when the next one would be out.
Hey I still don't know that...

... Well. The Oddworld games are a good starter to why I got into Oddworld. And Oddchick told me on OddChat about the actual forum.

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

Is this the seventh or twentied edition of this topic?

I was at Sydney's Oddworldian Forum right from the beginning of its life, after hearing from him about it at the Exoddus Club.

I had always gone to Oddworldian for extra oddworld information. Syds site had a lot of info I had craved, and lots of content on it. So for the longest time I saw something called oddworld forums. This was back when all of the old old members were just starting off here. I wanted to register, but at the time I did not have an email address set up so I frequently still visited Oddworldian, and occasionally every couple months in that spring/summer the forums just to look at General Discussion and such. I waited until that october 2001. And finally registered, after my email was finally officially set up. So I had knowledge of who was here and such for a while before registering, and just wasnt able to talk to anyone until then. When I did register I figured a lot of people would be talking about MO still because it was only a month away from release, and that there would still be many discussion threads. And Ive been here now for a year and three months, and its still going well. I must say it was a good decision. Ive met many people here I would never have had a chance to meet. I must say it was one of my decisions I never regret. I only regret having had to wait for so long until I was eventually here. So I would say it was similar to Xav, I had always visited Oddworldian for all my info, besides oddworld .com, and then I visited both Oddworld.AU, and Oddworldian when I saw the links on the old forums. Thanks for listening once again.

I was browsing around the OW site, happened to see the forums, didn't care (figured I'd stick with my IOA forums). Went back, saw it again, cared a little, but not enough to sign up. Finally went back one last time and signed up.

I am an old member too like Al and Mojo Man and Xavier. I alweys went to Oddworldien for the extra info and I was interested in being part of the Oddworld community. At the beginning I wanted to join Syd's site so much to actually talk to people who have a common interest and that is Oddworld and here I am. Its been a year and two months now since I join back in November of 2001. And I am still going strong. Though I miss Oddworldien in the way it used to be too but that doesnt dampen my spirts of this place. I met a lot of cool people made friends here and learned a whole lot about diffrent things of the internet and Oddworld. I am glad I joined. Im glad I am part of this ever more growing community. I feel old as I grab my cain and walk awey.

Well.... I think I found out about the OWF from AbeBabe because she showed me her website, and I clicked on everything and decided to join ... I think then I was called Big Slig, then Number 15 and now....

Well I can't remember if it was before or after I saw the ending of AE and AO but I used a search engine and I came across Oddworldian. Well the Oddworld Forums were on the old EZboard (Before they had a million ads) so I signed up. And even though I'm not a regular member, I have been here through 3 incarnations of The Oddworld Forums.

I surfed to the official website once, nad in the fansite section I saw Oddworldian. So I went there and there was a banner for the forums, and then AlphaScrab was born...
