THe question is simple, What pushed you to Sign up to Guru - and can you remember your first post

Was GW new and you needed help?
Didnt some terrible update provoke you to join in the complaints?
We're you offered vast amounts of money?

Basically I want to know why (way back when) you decided to join guru..

And for the anti-climax...i cant actually remember WHY I joined

One of my guildies had made a fair amount of money selling things on the guru forums. I was like "Hey, I've got crap to sell imma jump on those forums and get rich!!". I didn't get rich but I found a useful resource and a nice community (unless they're whining about something).

Probably because I was looking for a good GW forum. And the rest sucked at that time, and still does.

Ventari’s Corner was the place to be for the highend trader. I sold Victo's Bulwark for 100k+ back then as I recalled, ah good times. These days the offtopic is the place to be.

I can't remember why I first joined. But I do remember that I spent more and more time here after I registered, and I decided that it was a fun community and one that I wanted to join in.

I joined to lurk mostly, although I think my first post was asking for help with my PvE mesmer.

Avarre replied and I felt all fangirly and starstruck.

I signed up in early 06 and then I forgot the password and didn't have the particular e-mail address in question anymore so I made this account. Who knows what I came to post about. I just wanted to be apart of this community =]

I joined because I've learned from playing various games that you need a place to get answers from people smarter and wiser than you and to stay in the know.

I fell asleep at the keyboard and awoke to not only find I had made a time machine, but that I had also joined this forum.
Someday I will travel back in time to see how I accomplished both in my sleep.

I'm pretty sure my first post was actually in the introductions thread! OMG no wai!

I became a Guru member 1 day after I bought and started playing Prophecies, ya know, when it was still called just "Guild Wars" I searched around for the biggest and best forum community, but got tired of searching and settled for Guru

Seriously, though, GWG is an oasis among all other fansites out there. You guys are the best!

I was planning on buying a new game (since the server of the free mod I had been playing was shut down for financial reasons). I wanted research on GW, which sounded appealing since it had no monthly fee.
I registered on these forums to get info almost 2 months before I actually started playing the game.

Joining GWO and getting bored of it, so looked for a new place and found this. Lurked for like a week, then figured I might as well join, may need to post something one day.
As for first post, no clue.

I'm fairly certain I originally joined to receive a price check on two items which I subsequently merched. First few posts and threads were in the trade forums, then I migrated to the community areas when I started using the Auction system.

I've no idea why I signed up in July, but whatever the reason it seems I left for a while since my first post was sometime around October 05. And I'm positive that was in Sardelac Sanitarium.

Signed up to get pointers on what the heck I should be doing; first post in the Introductions thread.

I lurk a lot and don't post often as I have a tendancy to ramble and go off on tangents that can drive people a bit bonkers, so I try not to submit Guru users to it.

Joined to have fun with OT forums :P,had a good community, and I enjoyed GW enough when playing with my friend who got me into it that I joined a few forums like this great one. Somehow, I actually spend more time on the forums and the wiki more than I do playing atm...(odd isn't it? nah, waiting for GW:EN)
