What brought you to the Watch?

Post by Sorus »

I think this may have been done before, so consider this 2.0 or whatever.

Just curious as to how people discovered KW.

Results may help us to grow, or might just be interesting.

Well, we can do it again. :D

Honestly? I'm not sure I remember how I got here. :D I'm gonna pick "search engine," but I think I probably clicked through to the EZ Board from Jay's original kevinswatch.com site.

Ah, there it is. Last post is 2011 though, might as well do an updated version - or post on that one.

I can merge 'em if you want. But I'm okay with starting a new poll.

Of course, the other GenDisc mod might beg to differ... :roll:

I'd just discovered forums, and just reread the Chrons for the umpteenth time. :D

I searched for "stephen donaldson forum," (or maybe "thomas covenant forum").

I saw it referenced in Donaldson's Gradual Interview, around the time Against All Things Ending was coming out.

Merging the old and new threads would have been a bad idea anyway.

In my not so humble opinion. ;)

It was over a decade ago. I have no idea. Probably search engine, but I really don't know.

I said search engine, but now that I think about it it may have been a link from SRD's site. Right after I found out about Runes of the Earth coming out.

I put search engine for my vote.

I was having an argument with friends on another forum who claimed TCTC was just a poor imitation of Tolkien and I was looking for arguments to refute them. So I did a search. I came up with an old interview with SRD, and links to The Land, and Kevin's Watch, both of which had links to the old ezboard Kevin's Watch forum.

And then I brought over my daughter. Who sadly no longer posts here.
