As the title says, Mine was through a yahoo recommendation on some question.

duriru · 13th Jan 2012, 02:12 PM

I googled a question and there was a thread here on EC about that question. Can't remember the question though.

British Lad · 13th Jan 2012, 02:19 PM

I can't remember

sokk · 13th Jan 2012, 02:21 PM

I remember reading about is somewhere online, can't quite remember where though, but yeah.. I guess that was how I find it, I read about it on the internet

I was using Wikipedia to look up that "certain site" when I saw that this site was affiliated with it (at the time). I lurked for almost a month before I joined.

I saw a Korean drama thread that had next to no posts, and I was like "....uh uh, I have to join just to post in this thread!" xD Anyhoo, that was just an excuse for me to join since I had underlying reasons.

alex2020 · 13th Jan 2012, 02:37 PM

All I remember is that somewhere on the internet I saw EC mentioned. Or did it come up as a result when I searched something...

Okay, I can't remember. No matter how I got here, though, the important thing is that I found it!

13th Jan 2012, 02:42 PM

I googled "gay chat/advice/help" and somehow ended up here. I was pretty depressed during that time and couldn't cope with everyhthing going on so i resorted to online

Kenko · 13th Jan 2012, 02:59 PM

I followed a usenet group that was shutting down, and this was one of the forums they recommended going to.

mAOz · 13th Jan 2012, 03:05 PM

I'm glad I found this place, Helped me through tough times

nerdvain · 13th Jan 2012, 03:08 PM

I was doing a search on something fitness-related, and oddly enough, EC happened to be on the first page of Google results. I was looking at the site title, thinking, "Empty Closets...Empty Closets...Empty...oooooooohhh!!!"
And I've been a happy member since then

i googled "i give up" and it was in someone's post

i also found an inspiring song...I Give Up

Elijah Bossenbroek - Carpe Lumen - I Give Up (Track 01) - YouTube

listen to the song and you'll understand my words below...

it made me think...."I give up all the things that hold me down, all the things that are heavy, burdensome, false about me, hurtful things said to me, the thought's that i'll never make it, the concept that i am a worthless failure... the thoughts that i'm not good enough, i'm not smart enough, i'm not strong enough, i give up all the lies that have painted me into a corner and stifling my creativity, love, power and courage.... i give up!

I was recommended this site by a friend. And I browsed it and fell in love with it.

And, four years later, I'm still here.
