RE: How you came to be on the forum...
Installed MSG Plus for a while... like sonicsam, but i joined the forums but I wasn't an active member, then I moved to a new house but my parents didn't want internet so I stopped loggin in like 2 years. After this time I MADE my parents put internet in my house, created a new account (don't remember the old one, maybe it was deleted in one of the server changes Chrono mentioned) so here I am. My old username was something like sams1987 or sams_iss

A friend of mine had been using the "Quick Messages" to flood me. When I asked how he did it so fast, he said: "I've installed the Messenger Plus! Extension". I searched for it on the Net and downloaded it. It was a very cool program with useful features, without spyware or advertisements... No doubt, it was the best Messenger add-on I had ever seen.

While I was using it I thought on some suggestions and I wanted to contact the developer of Plus!, Patchou, so I logged onto and registered on the messenger Plus! Forums. Then I made my first post, my first thread with many suggestions on it. While I was waiting for replies, I read a lot of threads on the board, and I started to like the idea of become a regular member. So I started to post, to post a lot. I made 69 posts on 2 days and the members ( *cough* Muss *cough* ) started to complain about it. They said I was spamming a lot, and of course I wasn't . They almost made me leave the forums... It was a PM sent by Topeka_KS that made me stay (and I don't  regret )

RE: How you came to be on the forum...
I've been browsing this forum for probably about a year or so (at least). I've been using Plus! for I don't know how long (early version 2). I had been just keeping up with the stuff in the support forums to make sure I knew what was going on with Plus! and what bugs I might expect. I finally registered and posted when I started to have one odd issue (which incidentally was never resolved, but not a big deal) and decided to stay. I've since spread to the rest of the boards, but mostly I just post to help other people. Basically, I'm still getting to know things here, and don't want to cause too much commotion. At least, not yet. :D

RE: How you came to be on the forum...
I actually did not know what a forum was, until I needed help with Msgplus one day. I needed to find out how to fix a error with a dll file that msgplus had corrupted. And since that day, I've just been visiting this forum and posting things when I have time.

I've been using Msgplus since like v2 or so :p.

Seeing as I have been a member for a couple of years already, I can't remember the specific reason why I joined. If my first post has something to do with it, then it was because some inaccuracies in the translation.

RE: How you came to be on the forum...
One day Chris Boulton IM'ed me saying "Hey were looking at getting a board setup for these guys". So I joined up on before it was on devBB... We then setup a board and started testing and moding. I registered before Surfi so I got User ID #1!!!!

Yeah.... thats just how it worked....

Oh, and I've never been banned, well... except that one time the guy hacked into the board.
