So, what's everybody's primary incentive for joining this site? I was a member on some sites, but a lot of them ended, and I wanted some place where I could talk about gaming. I was gonna make my own. I google searched to find some ideas for my forum, as well as maybe find some members that would join too. Eventually though, I realised that this was a good forum, and I didn't really need to make my own. So I abandoned that (my co-admin wasn't too happy) and stuck around here.

Howabout you guys?

I kind of also just wanted a place that I can talk about things that involve games and other stuff, and then I found this website. :-)

I was already a member on a few other forums, but none of them game related. Figured I'd find a gaming forum and here I am.

Good topic. I joined this forum because I wanted to join a gamers forums just like this one, with a great Art Subforum, so I googled: "gamers forum" and this forum was the very first one in the results... Romantic isn't it? xD

I can't honestly remember .. I think intially it was because I wanted somewhere else to post my reviews, but tbh that wasn't the main driving force. I think my main reason was wanting to find like-minds AND different/vibrant people. Beyond that, like most things, my main goal was finding somewhere to have a laugh while online.

I joined this forum while I was on leave from school. During my time off I had far too much free time... I found myself exploring the depths of 4chan further than I was comfortable with and my g/f at the time was an active member on a different forum so I figured two things - it was time for an intervention and involvement with an online community that left some sense and satisfaction and reward (not 4chan) and I might as well join a forum.

It took me a half a second to think "what is one of my greatest interests that I could find a forum about" and it took google about .32 seconds to produce over 14 million results for the search "gamer forum" for which this site was the first hit.

I spent the last .18 seconds of that second considering if I should join this forum and decided to start lurking threads. Then I saw a post that said Fiesta was a good game. I felt the twitch in my neck, screaming at me to explain to them, in depth, how the game was flawed and how I'd wasted my time with it.

I knew at that moment that I was truly a gamer and belonged here. With one more second, I was a registered member. With another handful of seconds of furious typing, I made my first post (http://gamers-forum.com/showthread.php?p=190467) (I didn't know BBcode back then, this is my first and only forum ever, otherwise I would have used spoiler tags in that post XD)

I thought for sure that when I went back to school I would be too busy and would leave the forum, but there are lots of free seconds and fractions of seconds, even in my busy schedule here, that I find to read and make posts on the forum. The forum has been more than cool enough to me to deserve my time, I'm very happy to be here :)

I just joined because I don't have any friends, let alone friends that play gamez. -_- I mean, no friends where I live. Doesn't apply to my net friendz. lol

Sooo, to sort of summarize that, I joined to make some net friends. Gamer friends are even better though, so it's a win/win for me. lol

I just joined a few minutes ago. I just wanted something to do while I'm surfing around on youtube. I like to talk about video games, so I figured I'd try this website out.

I joined this site for the same reason you go to lan centers and cyber cafes.... you have everything you need to play all the games you want at your house... but sometimes its better to be around people just like you who play the same games.... its a social thing.... and environment.... :)

I was kinda bored this one night on google to find a gamer forum. when I typed those 2 words, I found this & just registered. I can't believe I'm here for almost a year (next month is my anniversary & many others as well, wahoo! one year!)

couple months ago, I couldn't afford any of the next-gen consoles.. finally about 2 or 3 months ago, I got a ps3. soon I'll get a 360. probably next year.
but why? I wanted to make some friends. ain't nothin wrong with that right? also, now that I got a ps3, I can play with some cool people online on some of my games. I currently have 5 games, so eventually my library will be big.
