How Did You Get To The SKMB?

[not_nadine]

I actually forget how I found this board. ?? 5 years ago.. maybe? I am just glad that I found it.
I am not a internet "chatter" I really don't go anywhere else, but to search for things for the boards.

Hi!

How did you get to be here? On this forum?

After I finished reading Under the Dome I had some things I wanted to discuss. I Googled Stephen King and this site came up. I clicked on it, went to the message board read a few threads/posts and I was hooked! Signed up as a member as voila! Here I am.

So, tell us. How did you come to be here?

Thank you.

Peace.

My story is exactly like yours. I found the site after reading Under The Dome. I didn't come to post as much as to read the other comments on the novel. I think I went to the main site and found the message board through the link. I may have made one or two posts and then lurked for a long time before jumping in. I think I didn't post for a long time because I didn't understand the moderated board. I remember making a post and not seeing it and gave up on posting until I realized how it worked. I obviously didn't read the FAQ first like I was supposed to.

...I think it was when I wandered into(yeah, we'll go with that, pre-restraining order)his former kitchen, and found his laptop open to the site....

I'm unsure of the year that I first found this place (the original, non-threaded MB) but it was probably about 6 months before I started my daily lurking, so possibly the end of '03' or the very beginning of '04'.
I had wanted to know whether or not "Opopanax" (as in feather, Wolves of the Calla) was a real thing. So, I Googled it. (I barely knew how to use a computer/had very little access to one back then.)
Anyway, one of the hits I got was this place. So, I posted a question to Marsha... and couldn't find a reply, (Flake noob!) so floated away for a couple of months.
Something else Dark Tower-related (it was my first time on the path) drew me back in '04'... and I just read posts for a number of months (was terrified of joining in) until one day, I just gave it a go. (Probably the beginning of '05'?)
Once I started, I was very quickly hooked--this place was like a drug, well, actually it was more of a refuge... and it has come to mean so much to me over the years.

And how long have you been the chocolate loving moderator we all love?

We started beta testing at the beginning of '06' and moderating in Feb last year.

I Think it was 2008 or around that time, it just occured to me to check if SK had his own site and I stumbled upon the board. I did lurk for a couple of years though. I was never one for forums ( I never visit any other forums ) but I found on here what I thought was impossible on the internet, just a lovely group of people with mostly just nice things to say and actually looking out for each others and I was hooked too.

 

[Lepplady]

Oh gosh. I don't know how I found the place in the beginning. I've been here since ' 06. Many, many moons ago.

 

[CriticAndProud]

Via the internet.

I went looking for an unknown writer to champion for a project. Found the candidate but the funding for the project fell through...but it's been quite a ride since. Glad I got to know this place and all o' y'all.

We were so uncertain of different mods. Say sorry for doubting Ms. Mod..... You are great..

We were so uncertain ourselves at first, it was a huge learning curve, going from being a member, to a tester, to a position of huge responsibility. Marsha is a brilliant teacher though, so we knew we were in good hands.
(thank you )

Oh gosh. I don't remember. I know it was the original one ... a long time ago. "We have always lived in the castle."

EDIT: My profile says 2006. So we have lived in the castle for eight years.

It was way back in 2007! I think I must have googled "Stephen King" and his website came up of course. I found the MB and loved it! I've been here ever since and I hope I never have to leave.

Canuck, eh?

I joined in December 2011. 11/22/63 released the month before and I was blown away by it. It wasn't my first SK book, but I was still in the infancy of my Constant Reader life. Not sure how I found you guys, but I am ever so glad I did. I've met so many wonderful people here and made so many memories!

Thanks, ladies. It's my favorite selfie. I sure miss those glasses. (I lost them playing in the park.)
