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.

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.

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'.

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

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

Typed in a random URL, of course. I didn't know Andrew, Shaun, Imelda or anyone else until I came onto this site. Promise.
Typed in a random URL, name, and password, and it happened to be an admin account. Shaun hasn't said anything about it yet. :)

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*

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

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.

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.
I typed 'young writers site' into Google.
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

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. :)

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

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

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 Voilą! I met YWO!
