Hey, guess what? Same here! This was when I was still new to the whole message board thing too... I was trying out this thing called role-playing when I happened to come across the ad.

Ad? What ad? Oh, do you mean this one?
Stumbled across that today and thought I might share. Note that I actually didn't know what "RPG" stood for at that point of time, having never RP'd before. I think that any of the hard core posters on HP.com would've thought I was stupid for adding the G in there. I also used all caps a lot because I didn't know how to make italics or bold then Goodness...

Hmmm...no, actually. That wasn't it. I came across it while lurking around. The link was in someone's signature and it looked interesting. The rest is history. ;D
Haha. I had a bit of a hard time when I first discovered rping. I remember asking someone why everyone was writing up all these story things. Yup, I was completely lost.

I was surfing through images for something and came across the diaryland of a girl who owned a dland for dland designs. On her links she had Trapdoor and in her cast list, listed a hell lot of people with things like, "P/Js on TD yay!" or something like that. So I clicked on the link here and registered the same day!

Actually, friends introduced me to the site. They had seen it on harrypotter.com and then I sort of never joined because I wanted to make sure I'd like it and it wouldn't just be a one week thing. I guess I needed a hobby or something. I was really not into the role playing, but there were a lot of discussion threads which pretty much sucked me in.

Oh wow, I can't even remember exactly how I found this place. Like many of you, I think I heard about TD from harrypotter.com, which used to be the one HP site I always went to. (Now, of course, I avoid it because of those screwy message boards... ) I think I saw someone advertising TD in his signature. Or it might've been an actual post advertisment.
(I've mentioned this before, but I actually saw Willow at harrypotter.com before I came here. I never talked to her or anything, but I recognized her name later once we were both on TD. Isn't that weird? ;D)
*laughing to herself* I think I actually joined TD because I really, really wanted to find out what "weighing-in" was. I kept reading it on that scrolling banner thingy; I remember it saying something like "Weigh in now. If you have a keyboard (or was it "it only takes a few seconds"?)...even in you don't post much" I just had to find out what the big deal was!

Lol! Yeah, I know what you mean, Silver. The same thing was bugging me, but that wasn't the reason for me joining. The people just seemed to be so close and I wanted to be a part of it. I'm glad to have come across TD.

Oh, is that why you left? I remember you used to be in Slytherin even before I got in, and then you disappeared after a while. What happened between you and minih?
