What brought you to A/F ?

Like the title says. What brought you to A/F?

For me:
I was involved in a car club called Skylines Downunder. Our Club's forums server went down and didn't due to certain circumstances wasn't going to be back up in a timely fashion. Igor welcomed us with open arms per-say, and the club began posting here in the Skyline Forums. Many of us stayed after the Club's server issues were sorted out.

I came across a link to AF that someone had posted in another forum.

I stayed here because it's a busy, interesting site, with broad interests; and generally the members are more helpful, polite and do not flame/insult others, especially on technical issues. That make it a pleasant alternative to many other sites.

A computer.
But seriously, I was doing a Google search on an issue I was having with one of my vehicles at the time. I clicked on one of the results and was brought here. I was surprised to see I wasn't the only one that was having these issues. Along with the thread was a fix to the issue which solved the problem.
From that point on I stayed.

I was actually directed here by a guy I met on AIM. I had just bought my first car and wanted to learn more about it. He was a VDub guy, but had seen/heard of it here and sent me the link. Originally I only posted in the forum for my car, but one day got brave and started searching around the other forums. So pretty much I've wasted the last 8 years of my life sitting in front of a blue and white screen.

In keeping with the moderator-only replies, my cousin told me about it one day (he is the member -Josh-) at work and I just kinda sat down and got into it.

A very profound moment.

I ahve thought much the same thing, too. I could have picked up my master's degree in the time I've spent here

Purehonda migration 2001.

One of the moderators (possibly creators) of the site sent me an invite way back in 2000. Damn I been a memeber for almost 10 years!? I disapperared for a number of year only to re-emerge in 2006. Now I am back again. My space-time travel machine is still not working well. lol

Anyways, I came here because the site look good, was easy to navigate, and at the time was more pro-Nissan than many others. Man it has come a long way!

Same as 97Venturowner. Did a google search and found this site. It was very informative, the members didn't burn eachother for some of the silly questions asked and it seemed like a very inviting site. I say 'the only dumb question is the one not asked.' I sometimes regret that saying, but it all works out in the end.

Looking for info on my G20. Man, that was a different lifetime.

I found it looking for a problem that was very very obvious, for some stupid reason, just didn't want to spend the 15 or 20 bucks to fix it, so I came on posted, and ended up spending 50 bucks to fix and improved the situation. I liked the larger community, then where I was posting and still do. Right now I check in here, weekly. I also frequent the above mentioned site daily, as I've become friends with a lot of the members over the years. I also frequent, a fire buff site("the rant") that's local.

Wow way to bring back memories..

Lets see, already a mod in a few other forums and started to upload my step by step guides for the Hyundai Santa Fe, when I decided to do a search for any forum for the Santa Fe and finally came across AF. Stayed around put my two cents in every topic I can. One day I asked to be a mod and Igor made me one. (One of the few times that has happened). Eventually promoted to admin and have bugged the mods and members ever since.

Seaching for info. on a vehicle we had in the shop. Found this site has a large selection of makes and models all in one area. So every time I had a particular vehicle giving me fits looked here.

You guys do not know how much troubleshooting time you have saved me and labor costs you have saved our customers.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF !!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S I am now hooked on the recent posts forum or so my wife says. LOL
