Came for ZP, stayed for the massive improvement in forum quality compared to GameFAQs. I used to spend a lot of time on User Reviews but migrated to Off-Topic and Gaming Discussion over time.

My friend had an account and the community in general just seemed really nice and helpful.

I was linked to a Zero punctuation video by a friend and discovered that there was also a forum section here.

I wanted to be able to post a comment on a Zero punctuation episode, at first I hardly ever logged on when I came to this site.

Well I came here due to ZP, but it was the threads that made me stay and join up. I can't remember which one as I didn't respond to it, but it must have been interesting. I believe it was about Left 4 Dead 2 as it was still pretty new at that time.

Zero Punctuation (or rather searching for Fable on Youtube and then finding the ZP vid and liking it a lot) brought me here, Unforgotten Realms made me join because I wanted to comment on one of the episodes, the community made me become sort of involved in the forums.

Zero Punctuation made me come, but the forums made me sign up. I think I've posted on... four ZP videos and read maybe two of the articles that came out, and I never watched any other video series (with the exception of the occasional MovieBob or Unskippable).

Zero Punctuation brought me here and I saw the forum box in the corner. Then I thought "Hey I like spouting my opinions in a vaguely coherent manner and jamming it down people's throats!"

Hmm.

Originally to make snarky remarks/moan about life in general, but the real clincher was when I wanted help writing a Novel - the thread of which promptly withered and died, but my visits to the escapist didn't.

Oh, and to spout Claymore fanboyism somewhere nobody knows my name.

Pretty much all of this, only I'm not any good at snarky. The Escapist can thank gamesradar for pointing me to ZP to begin with.

I came here when Rob from Unforgotten Realms did. And stayed a little after to laugh at how much of a massive retard Yahtzee is.

Probably going to leave soon, too. Rob was pretty much the only truly 'amazing' *cough* artist on the site.

Well, like many here, Zero Punctuation brought me to The Escapist. As for joining the forums, I just HAD to join in on some of the discussions.

I still need to get to work on an article I want to put on here, though...
