I was searching for help on BGII when I found the Ironworks main website. I discovered the forum a little after that, and lurked for a couple of months before signing up - this was in the days of the old blueboard, so I am officially an IW oldie ;)
Found it to be an incredibly friendly place, which is why I stayed. It was my first experience of internet fora, and a very positive one. I've made some good friends here, and... well... found a little more than friendship too ;) Thank you Ironworks! :D ;)

How did I find this place? I found it quite brown... maybe too brown. Brown, brown! Eeeek- more brown.

Yes, I found this place brown.

Keep saying the word "brown" a lot to yourself outloud. It'll drive you completely mad.

My Freind, RedBlueFlare, showed it to me and told me to just come here.... before this place i went to a board dedicated to a single RPG, i had 3000 posts on it and was kind of connected, but then i realized that nobody on there really even gave a damn about anyone else but themselves so I left... + The mods wanted me dead and I still dont know why...

LOL too true [img]smile.gif[/img] I haven't heard anyone else say this but yes...

However brown makes IW unique and outstanding, not flashy, it makes the forum feel safe, honest and down to EARTH which it is [img]smile.gif[/img]

I joined the blue board at the start of November 2000, a month after BG2 came out, looking for some help. I was a quiet little newbie [img]graemlins/lurking.gif[/img] at first but I got talkative.pretty quickly. :D

I had just started BGII and Anomen had started acting up, so I started looking for why. UHS was useless, as usual, and IW popped up on my AOL search. I couldn't find what I was looking for, saw there was a forum, so I went to the BGII forum and, sure enough, there was someone else having the same problem! So, after lurking a little while, Attalus saw a question that he wanted to respond to, I registered, and the rest is history.

Other - I found Ironworks thru the search browser looking for help with Wizards & Warriors program I got for myself for my birthday... and that was long time ago

heh, i just found this by accident while finding bg2 help... (and bg1 also) [img]smile.gif[/img] . after such a long time... its still here [img]smile.gif[/img]

I found it looking for another BG forum after BGDungeon and its forums closed ( :( )... *shrug* Lucky I found IW... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I was looking for something about BG2... I can't recall... I just ended up on the Big Blue and well, I wanted to post something.. and then peeps replied quickly.. including Mem ;) and after that I kept coming back for more BG2 stuff.. then after a while, peeps seem to drift away from it... and then we would be spamming the whole place already (since most of everything we were talking about was not BG2)... that was the time I just couldn't leave the board... damn board [img]smile.gif[/img]
