    [​IMG] Someone told me there were a lot of women here... ;) :lol: :grin: :shake:

    But seriously, I had a question about Baldur's Gate way back in 2000. And I just kept coming back.

    When I was still an admin of my own Baldur's Gate 2 Forum, (Which was basically a spinoff forum for the BG2 fans amongst the Diablo crowd of The Lurkerlounge.) one of the posters there linked to here. I then quickly moved here, and basked in the glory that is SP. :grin:

    The other forum went on for quite a while, but had too little (active) members to survive. *shrug* I'm happy here.

    [​IMG] And after that, Faragon met a guy at an intro-bully-eggs-and-'custardcream'-week of Fysiotherapists-wannabees. Talked with the dude about Shadows of Amn while wearing selfmade Druid-tunics and Monk-outfits. Converted the heathen to become an SP-member.
    That heathen was me.

    Well, so he doesn't feel too alone, I found out in exactly the same way as Taza. I went to gamefaqs a long time, and in the faq of Dan Simpson he mentioned the sites were his faq was allowed to be hosted. One of them was SP.

    I came, I saw, I stayed. :D

    I think I linked here from Gamebanshee and ended up reading a ridiculous ammount of BG2 info before even thinking about posting.
    Back in those days I had a bit of powergaming blood :D

    [​IMG] One day, I was really bored so I started playing "pocket pool". I felt something unexpected in there, pulled it out, and found SP!

    I, actually, started a topic like that some months before... anyway.

    Google, searching for BG1, just like so many others.
