Poll #36: How did you find YWO?

[Andy]

How did you first find out about YWO? :squirrel:

[Ichigo]

Jessica told me about it.:D

[Nyx]

Google =D

[Phantom]

random_writer told me about it!

[Alex]

Google

[Carraka]

I think Andy recommended me. It was either Andy or Shaun.

Then I lurked for a few weeks, and then I joined. The End.

I love taking over forums.

[Majyk]

Someone's signature on TW had a YWO link in it.

[The_First_Investigator]

I found YWO by Google.

[Mercy]

I found YWO through the Creative Muse Society which I found through...something else. x3 I don't remember how I found the other site.

[Simmi]

Google, I've been looking for a young writers forum for awhile. :D

[Zombified]

Georgie brought me here.


It was during my time at TW when he suggested I come here.
After new members started coming in and making things unpleasant I left and came here.
My new home.

[Zayuh]

I kinda found it from my brother, but then I googled Young Writer Sites and after sorting through a few unpleasant google-things, I found this. This is what i call a 'Pleasant Google Thing'.

[Midnight_Moon]

Google is my friend. I wanted to join a forum because I was lonely and found YWO. I'm not lonely anymore! :laugh:

[Shaun]

It was my idea. That's how I found it :P.

[blue phoenix]

My sisters told me. And here I am.

[Crocolyle]

I found out from Andrew

[J.L.A.Montoya]

I found out via Majyk. This site certainly seems nicer. Nicer as is "kind."

[jordanisonfire]

Typed in a random URL, of course. I didn't know Andrew, Shaun, Imelda or anyone else until I came onto this site. Promise.

[Andy]

Typed in a random URL, name, and password, and it happened to be an admin account. Shaun hasn't said anything about it yet. :)

*pokes Shadow in the forehead with an eraser*

[jordanisonfire]

...I'm confused. Even more so than usual.

-replaces head where eraser knocked it off-

[Pibs]

Moony showed it to me!
Sisters have got to be good for something... ^^

[Rafael Domination]

Andy led me to it. ^^

Thank you sooooooo much.

[random_writer]

My story is stupid. Bored+internet+search engine+needing help with writing= here. I do love it here. It's nice. I tried TW, but the posts on my welcome thread discouraged me from ever going back. *shudders*

[Majyk]

What was your user name on TW, Random? Maybe I'll remember your welcome... Or not, but I can always look.

[GeorgeMichael]

TN Cowgirl brought me...and I haven't seen her in a long time... :(

[Andy]

I think TNC is on YWS all the time now.

[Rin_Kisaragi]

A lengthy Google search led me hither ^_^

[Beakzz]

Google FTW!

[Rin_Kisaragi]

Yup :D

[seikoXchan]

I was lookin' for karaoke from Sweeney Todd, found GeorgeMichael's YouTube, and stumbled upon his YWO video. -nods-

[ElephntFalingOffClif]

I found out from Phantom. SHe was at my house one day and said hey have you heard of this site? And then I was hooked!

[phytoxoeia]

I was curious about the link in Lykaios's signature, so I clicked it, and BAM! I ended up here!

[Liziy]

I was looking for somewhere I could read stories written by real people...so...yeah.

[Moody]

I was searching on google for writing forums and it led me to open directory project where YWO was one of the sites listed.

[Shaun]

Well that's cool :). Thanks for joining up!

[thecollector]

I joined the club on facebook by mistake not knowing it was a real site. My friend asked me what my avatar's name was and... (long story short) I joined.

[Emberwood]

Google is useful isn't it?
:D

[listophergreene]

I forget >.< I don't remember if it was Google or a site I found from Google that led me here, but I know Google was in there somewhere.

[Jack]

I typed 'young writers site' into Google.

[Rose]

Ok so I had this English project and I had to find a controversial or debatable issue to talk about so I typed lots of things like:
-debatable topics.
-hot debatable topics.
-controversial issues.
-current topics.
then I was trying and typed young writers debate and got : young writersonline-debate forum or something,so I bookmarked that page then I joined the site about few weeks later and here I am now! ;)

I googled these statements so it's pretty much :google-ish-thingy

[Rowenny]

I found this place really easy: I just typed "Writing forum" in Google and one of the sites that Auntie Google gave me was this and I'm glad it did so. :)

[MackenzieLN]

I looked up "Writing websites like....." and went to a website and It gave me linkage to here!

[Stephanie Dwyer]

I Googled 'Young Writer's Guidelines', and up came the page for critique guidelines.

[SapphireSeaBird]

My story is stupid. Bored+internet+search engine+needing help with writing= here. I do love it here. It's nice. I tried TW, but the posts on my welcome thread discouraged me from ever going back. *shudders*

Exactly the same for me. I think YWO is so much more newbie friendly than TW - the whole Halfway House - it's a good idea, yes, but I was starting to get the impression that it's just not worth the bother. Points system works way better.

[Rage]

I typed, 'a proper shit hole lulz', and this was the number one result. :sarcasm: Am kidding, this place is funny.

[Clawfire]

I typed Young Writers Forums and it got me here!

[dragonheart]

I was just searching for a writers comunity and this looked like the best one.

[FayGee]

I typed Young Writers Forums and it got me here!

And Claw suggested it to me. Thanks Claw!

[MetallicGryffon]

so I'm searching for a riddles website on google, then the R-R-Riddles thread for YWO comes up(at this point I have no idea its YWO), so = read the whole thread, after finding out it was dead, I signed up and brout it back to life. Then i strayed over to the literature section, and BOOM! I am hooked, Thats the reason I am mostly in the common room, because that is how I found YWO

[MetallicGryffon]

Long story, just know it is the reason why I am ALWAYS in the common room. Thank you google!!!

[Der_ThunderSlug]

Google! The evil corporation that rules the internet with an iron fist. Got bored, typed in a search for writing websites catering to the younger generation, and now here I am.

[lalodragon]

Lykaios mentioned it on Nanowrimo!

[KythingToWrite]

I was getting irritated. I needed a site where I could discuss with other writers and receive helpful feedback while helping others too. So I cliacked on Google, typed in "Site for young writers" and Voilà! I met YWO!

[bookworm]

Google.
