Hi, i thought this would be a nice idea for a thread. Write your stories for how you came to be where you are now, a member of the greatest forum of all time!
Mine:
It was the summer holidays, and i had been using WLM 8.0 since the first beta stage, and was currently using the first proper release. but then i thought "hold on, wheres my tabbed chats?" i realised i had no plus! for this version.
So i deverted back to 7.5 till plus was out for 8.0.. and after a while, it came out.
So anyway, life went on.. i was using WLM and plus! live. and then i encountered a problem with my plus! (i think it was something to do with the /command, but not sure :/) so i found this a registered. I searched and found the answer. but then i wanted to join. i did so. and then i wanted to post my first thread. i did so. (wow this was spammy . i will allways look back at that in disgust..
And then my good friend (now named quacky) told me he'd joined and replied to my thread. and then it started.

So what was yours?
