How Did You First Find LRR?

[Theremin]

Oh, you kids...some of us have been here since Max Effect, are are getting pretty sick of all these new fans.

Really? Man, I should have joined the forum back in '07... (I'd be an oldie right now!)

[Master Gunner]

Oh, you kids...some of us have been here since Max Effect, are are getting pretty sick of all these new fans.

And some of us TRUE oldies are getting sick of people like you claiming to be oldies.

I've being here since '06, and honestly, don't consider myself to be a truly OLD LRR fan. That goes to people that were around before How To Talk Like Pirate.

[Arius]

I don't measure myself based on how long I've been here.

I figure we all enjoy the videos the same anyway.

I may be new compared to some of you, but LRR forever!

[Theremin]

I wasn't being serious about the LRR length-peen thing.

[Ollie, don'tcha know!]

From my awesome friend Patrick. He showed me bagel time once, and I was instantly hooked...

(I love bagels)

I love bagels too.

How much do you love bagels?

I go over to Siberia and hunt the bagels myself. There's no taste like a fresh bagel you captured yourself but one hour ago.

(Oh, and hi Theremin, 'tis Ollie)

The first video I saw was the Talk like a Pirate video, but the site had been Slashdotted, so I had to watch it on a mirror, and while I *loved* the video, it never occurred to me that the people who made it would have many more videos worth watching.

I next encountered LRR shortly after moving into my first apartment, sometime between Max Effect and Green Noon were posted. I watched all the videos on the site, and have kept up since then.

I honestly have no idea HOW I found the site though...part of me wants to say I stumbled upon one of the videos. I remember being surprised to discover that LRR was the same group who made the Talk like a Pirate video, so it wasn't that one.

I usually have a pretty good memory about this kind of thing, but I always draw a blank when trying to remember how I found LRR.

[Highlander]

found it after looking at the link under unskippable
hooked ever since

[Theremin]

Ollie? Might sound rude, but do I know you?

[Ollie, don'tcha know!]

From Villainy Inc. Oh, never mind...

[MotorWaffle]

saw the first unskippable and followed the link from there.

[Theremin]

From Villainy Inc. Oh, never mind...

Oh, OLLIE! Yeah! great to have you!
Sorry for being a stupid.

[Kipher]

hmmmmmm *puts thinking cap on*

bout 3 yrs ago I was bored and decided to browse around the nonsense that is uncyclopedia, while on my random clicking fest I decided to see what it had to say about PS3s and lo and behold the 3 PS3s video was linked on there, I thought it was funny, found the site and there you go happy ending...or is it O.o

[Unclever title]

Received an email link on Talk Like a pirate Day '06 direct to the site's "How to Talk Like a Pirate."

If you guys had had your videos on Youtube at that point I suspect I'd have been linked over there and wouldn't have come to the site until much later (Definitely by the time of Desert Bus).

I didn't join the forums until I had a suggestion for a video.

[theshortone42]

my fiancee introduced me to LRR, which he found through Unskippable. i'm pretty thankful for his curiosity

[Evil Jim]

With all the Unskippables, & How to Talk Like a Pirates, I'm kind of proud of the fact that I discovered LRR through a link to "Shake Your Hands." It seems to be rather obscure & I've yet to meet anyone else who came here that way.

[Lord Chrusher]

I know Graham from elemetry school. Many years later I ran in to him on the bus and he gave me a LoadingReadyRun business card (The slogan at that time was 'It's like porn but better'). A few weeks later I visited the sight; the first video I watched was Door to Door which was that week's video.

I have yet to meet anyone who came across it with the LRR3Ks (I think 'The Bright Young Newcomer' may have been the first one I saw...)

[Allangille]

I started watching ZeroPunctuation at a friend's place and I saw a link to Unskippable, one thing led to another and... yeah.

[Kara]

First video I saw was The Bet. I met the guys at Kei-Kon and was given a business card and made a trip over to the site. I've been around ever since.

[Nomadic]

I found the site a month or two before Desert Bus (the first one) when searching for funny videos. Watched a few, thought it was good, then promptly closed Firefox, went to bed, and had a bout of sleep-deprivation-based amnesia. Then Desert Bus came along and Penny Arcade linked it. I was like "oh yeaaaah!", watched the thing, and decided to bookmark it. LRR's weekly videos became fodder for my day-based websurfing. I didn't join the forums for a few months after that.

The rest, as they say, is history.

(And yes, I'm more old school than most of you newbies. WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE.)

As I recall, it was the summer of 1871. I'd just recovered from polio and had acquired a set of marbles from my late...PP linked here, I think Moving Out was the most recent.
