    I love this place! I was in PlanetBaldur's Gate and followed a link here. I just recently discovered that there's more here than CRPG boards, and have probably been offending the snot out of people in the Alley of Dangerous Angles! But it's fun. The last site I used was a newspapers, and it got shut down when some idiot spammers hi-jacked it, so this is like heaven for this mage.

    I found this site through word of mouth believe it or not. I was at school tending the bi-weekly Game Club meeting where myself and other like-minded gamers played Magic, D&D, Stratego, and the like. One day some guy (Amon-Ra) was posting on this forum from the school computer. He was typing a response to a flame seen here.

    Truth be told, we all (everyone at the game club) had a good laugh over it. Even the Teacher read it and that it to be true hilarity. I asked one of Amon-Ra's friends about the site and what it covered because I was into Forums at the time. He told me if I ever played Baldur's Gate, this was the place to go. Sorcerers.net was the URL he gave me. This combind with the funny thread sealed the deal. I went home and registered. (even though I didn't have BG yet) I would buy BG a week later. One thing leads to the next and I literally become a freak overnight (thats if I wasn't one to begin with) I have played 90% of the games covered on this site and still play them from time to time. And here I am.

    i went to yahoo.com, typed 'free barely leagal porn' and poof, it got me here. i searched high and low for few hours and came out with nothing. Then i went to the message board so see if someone post any free pictures. Instead, i bumped into a bunch of geeks who talk about some freeky games and such, how lame. But i stayed, waiting for a chance to mock these geeks....

    Seriously though, it was D.Simpson's Baldur's Gate2 faq that brought me here. i was too shy to post anything. started my posting when my IWD2 faq was accepted my the sorcerers.net.

    Simple: www.google.com ->BG II, mods, and fan-fiction (needed to get SoJ up and ready for some critiq). Took a look of the boards and thought it might be interesting.

    I've actually been reading through these boards since late 2000. I think I found this site after I searched Dogpile for more information on the sorcerer class's spell system.

    [​IMG] Roughly 1 year and half ago... when I recieved Bladurs gate. I was screaching for a fansite and/or a group of people to play online with.
    My Interests changed and I never got the expansion. And stoped playing. Im a shy person and being that I never ended up registering. Witch I regret today, becuase SP is a great place to be. And I wish I would have been part of it, when I first discovered it. My buddy who was registered here a very long time ago and left. Asked me one day if I got Icewind Dale2, and Somehow SP was brought up. And I decided to finally join up. Now he is in college and havent spoken to him since last summer. So thats how im here today. :p

    Haha. I Agree, but we have yet seen all the ways how people came to be here.

    Amon-Ra, did some nice defending, he really didnt need anyones "back", but ouchies Tal's Fireballs hurt just thinking about them.
