    I think I was searching for information on Baldur's Gate and the search engine brought me here.

    Well, as probably most of the rest I was looking for information on a CRPG, in my case technical problems with BG2, and luckily found SP. I followed the discussions on SP for almost 2 years, though in an infrequent way never really taking part in the discussion. Sometimes I have so much fun just following the discussion, made possible through the great way the boards are moderated and the people contributing.

    I am pretty sure that I linked here from a search engine, after being quite dissatisfied with some of the other BG sites out there.

    Found it first time through a search for BG sites. However I didn't have the internet at the time. When I did get the 'net I rediscovered SP via a search for Ps:t.

    I was originally looking for a solution to a technical problem with my IceWind Dale II installation and found this place (and about half a dozen others via Google). I bookmarked the site then came back to find out how to change the portraits in IWD II.

    Then I kept coming back to read the IWD II boards and discovered the rest from there. Of all the gaming sites I found originally, this is the only one I come back to.

    Joy, third (fourth?) time I can explain my "Adventure to Find the Holy SP." :D

    Na, can't bother this time; surfed the net for BG2 sites that could host my fan-fic. This is what was slammed on my face, so here I am -for now. ;)

    (And my second, regular board has been closed down :wail: )

    Was looking for info on the Dragonlance series at first, then found the forum with connections to all the games I play.

    Really cool, and the first message board I joined.

    [​IMG] My friend sent me an e-mail of some sites to look on for information on BG, I couldn't find much on them - he sent me a few more links and right at the bottom was sorcerers.net I looked through the pages and found it had what I needed. I looked on the forums a couple of times and read through all the topics on a page - after three days I joined and I still haven't been removed.

    I stumbled on to SP while looking for information on BG, BG2, and PS:T. I found the saying: "The Stuff of Legends, Right Boo" humorous yet intriguing, as I figured someone had to have done some research on BG, so here I am.

    Hmmph. I searched for Planescape: Torment files, because I had just purchased it, and I wanted to see if I could mess with the game a bit... I looked through, got some files, and didn't revisit it for another year or more... Then I registered to ask a PS:T question.


    Addendum: A few months ago, almost a year, I had just beaten a game, and I was bored. I was trying to find something to do to distract me from being bored, I found the IRC channel, and I got hooked on it.


    A grand tale if ever there was one.

    I was transported to the land of Sorcerers by clicking my little red shoes.

    (...humph, search engine like almost everyone else...)

    Google, probably like the majority of everyone else via a search engine. Was looking for BG stuff if I remember correctly.

    I wasn't going to post in this thread (because I've posted in many a similar thread), but for the sake of post count...

    Googling.
