    QUESTION: How did you all...

    ...find this place? And who's responsible for all this? This place is pretty impressive. I've been to a few other message boards, but this one is pretty kick *** feature wise.

    I found this place by looking for manga or anime avatars for another message board I go to. Thought it looked neat, so I joined up. :)

    I found this place while looking for some Pillows lyrics. After I found what I was looking for I decided to hang around for a while.

    well .. i was looking for a page named "manganime" and i thought it was this page so i opened this page and to my luck it was a message board.
    I fell in love with this page and i invited Zanza, Skuld and Rashid to see what a great page the M2A is ...

    Wandered in from the Art & Animation forum at boards.ie. Before mangatoanime, it was the closest thing board.ie users had to an anime forum (alongside the films/tv forum) :)

    I've got MamiyaOtaru to thank here!

    It actually sprouted off a random attempt to hopefully find some J to X... I strangely sent off random e-mails to any address I could think off that sounded SMJ related... I pounded off names for about half an hour in combination with ICQ Info searches... In the end I got about 3 or 4 replies back, Mamiya being one of them. Following a week or so of e-mail back and forth discussing SMJ stuff, he suggested we move our talk to a more suitable board he just joined. I blindly followed.

    Seems I came to make this place a second home since then. Cloud is an excellent webmaster, always helpful and considerate, and he ended up granting me first Moderator status, then my favorite Saber Marionette board which I requested, and finally appointed me one of the Admin... I've still got a lot of work to earn the title and priviledge, but that won't deter me.

    The boards are great! They're fast, reliable, up-to-date with UBB, and full of a wide selection of Avatars and Smilies. But most importantly, they are the place where so many of you great members out there come to share your knowledge and support! Thanks guys, yet again!

    BakaMattSu, getting emotional...

    I'm also one of the MO recruits, he's a friend of mine over here, and he told me about the forum shortly after he joined. Well, the rest is history, and here I am, the biggest 'on again off again' moderators on the forum!

    And here I am, on again, apparantly.

    I guess it kinda depends how far you go back for who you should blame for my presence here, ultimately it's my fault if you go all the way back to me introducing MO to anime... that becomes an interesting story in its own right

    One day while my eyes were roting out of my skull looking at my monitor spaced out.. IRC was running and i happened to Notice a Dude Named Cloud come in. We started chating and he told me about this page, gave me Moderator status in BEBOP and MANGA and this and that.. and well I came off and on the site, then I realy got into the forum thing and have been posting more and more of useless stuff that i think is important and stuff YADA YADA YADA...

    And so thats my story!

    I'm still not sure.

    I got an email from Cloud one day inviting me to this board. I still don't know (or have forgotten) where he got my email address, and what inspired him to invite me. Cloud, if you are reading this, how did you find me?
