How Did You Find TFF

[Fate]

So, how did the members here find out about TFF? Maybe you just stumbled upon it, maybe you were referred, etc. Share your stories here!^^

[RagnaToad]

I can't really remember hów, but I think I was browsing the almighty interwebz back in 2006 during the Christmas holidays. I must have typed in "final fantasy forum" in Google at some point.

At first I was going to say there should be more options as to how people found TFF.

But now I can't think of any that doesn't fall under the ones stated

P.S. Studying for my Philosophy exam tomorrow, w00t!

[Fate]

I think I was looking for some FF chatting place,and I typed in FF forum. FFF looked sorta gloomy, so I picked this one instead. And guess what? It's better!^^

[RagnaToad]

I have another option. "Read about it." Though that could be considered the same as "stumbled upon". Darn you and your general poll choices!

And yeah, this forum really seemed like the best one in some way. Not as geeky and not solely game based.

[Fate]

Half the time, I don't even talk that much about games. There are forums that dedicate themselves to gaming, then there are mixed ones. Thank God this is a mixed one.

And I thought about the options. Those were the only ones I could think of. Most ones fall under the first choice. And only Fuzz can choose the last one!

[Clint]

And only Fuzz can choose the last one!

Wrong. Dr. Egon Spengler chose the last option, because he can.

[Meigumi]

Hehe, I bumped into it while I was strolling around Yahoo, looking for some site to join, kupo.

[Treize]

I think I was browsing the almighty interwebz back in 2006 during the Christmas holidays. I must have typed in "final fantasy forum" in Google at some point.

This was how I found TFF too, except during December. I didn't end up joining until April when I saw the site again. I think the vast majority of the people at TFF are going to pick the first option.

[Fate]

Were the first people who joined TFF made Mods and Admins? Or were there no Mods and Admins to start out as?

Also, unless people wanna make Fuzz mad, I agree with Squall...

[RagnaToad]

I doubt that Fuzz is even going to read this thread.

And I think some Mods were appointed in the early beginning, but obviously there was no need for the amount of mods we have right now. I remember Chez being promoted to Mod like (EDIT) 3 years ago, and she hasn't been longer on TFF than I have. (EDIT, in fact she was. I sound like one arrogant bastard here O_o)

She does have a higher post count, though I don't know if that was the fact back then. And probably better attitude too

[Taco-Calamitous]

Also, unless people wanna make Fuzz mad, I agree with Squall...

I think more people should choose the third option. Then there can be a great debate over who actually started the forums. One could point out the lack of the administrator icon next to Dr. Egon Spengler's name, or the fact that he joined in 2008. But then he could argue that this is a second account that he's using to confuse people. That he, in fact, is Fuzz. Still others could argue that Dr. Spengler has certain traits Fuzz certainly does not have. Like being mischievous and judgmental.

Anyhoo... I found TFF by entering Final Fantasy into a search engine. It was the first link I found, I think. There was a lot of drama and interesting people around, so I stayed. The end.

Wuv, Yer Mom

EDIT: Chez and I became mods in the Summer of 2006, along with a few other people. That's like three years ago, man. Way to do your math

[RagnaToad]

lol, this may sound like an excuse but in my head I actually thought of 2006-2009. Somehow it came out as 1 year.
Which is not even possible for me to know if it were 1 year, since I've been inactive for more than a year...

And aren't we all in our own way creators to TFF? Every member contributes to the present nature of TFF. Or something cheesy like that.

[Govinda]

SATAN led me to it

And stuff

[DragonHeart]

Someone who was active on these forums long ago (who I went to middle school with) told me about this site. Took him awhile to pester me into joining, but I'm glad I did. I've since lost contact with said friend. Kind of strange to think this site has outlasted the friendship that led me to it way back in the beginning.

~DragonHeart~

[Sinin]

Mallick referred me in class hehe

[Furore]

I do recall it was the summer of Nineteen Dickity Six when young prodigies myself and Dr. Egon Spengler accidentally dropped a vat of Final Fantasy fanboyism and a networked computer into a vat of PLA (Pure Liquid Awesome). We promptly forgot about our accident, drifted apart and the mixture evolved into the TFF server.

We later found the result and decided to keep monitoring it for any flaws. And unusual activity and stuff. Yeah...

[Darkwave]

I found this by acident,lol. I was looking up FFXIII site and saw this below it.

[Fate]

Oh wow, looks like Fuzz has a lot of multiple accounts...

Three already that created it, without Fuzz.

[Meier Link]

I can't remember the specifics but I do know I was looking around on the web and ran across a link that led me to a thread (not sure which one), it was in the cleft but it did reach out to me so I looked a little further into this place and decided I would join. I wasn't expecting to be active at this forum at all but the amount of people that welcomed me with open arms is what really drew me in. Since then I have tried to do the same.

Hi, my name is Meier and I am an addict.

:edit:
Plus in the begining I am sure the mods / admins where friends of the original owner.

[loaf]

Lots of Square Ultima members were also members on here. People from here also signed up to SU now and then, so the name got thrown around, joined up in 05 and then account got deleted and then I came back since I had no other forum.

[Ralz]

Well, I, like many others before me, stumbled onto this site while "googling." There was a link on this site that led me to the Final Fantasy VI forum, because that's what I was googling for. I checked out the site as a whole, and figured, for the hell of it, why not join? See that name up there, Ralz? Yeah, I really didn't give a care what I would call myself and chose some random name that I could at least state without twisting my tongue. Oh, I had plenty of things going for me when I first became a member. I didn't really post a "hi, I'm new" thread, and so, just about Fuzz was the only one to send me his generic "welcome to TFF" post. So yeah, not that thrilling, eh? Anyway, I assume Fuzz directly makes members he has met and knows in real life into mods and admins. I don't think anyone else can become one by any other means. But hey, Fuzz COULD be mascarading as anyone here. I could even be him and none of you would ever know it!

[Yesha]

I was searching for a guide in a FF series.. and I have a question about it.. so.. I search the "googLe" for a Final Fantasy Forum that I couLd find someone who I can ask to.. 'bout the things I want to know.. so here I'am..

[OceanEyes28]

I was introduced to it by two people who are way bigger gamers than I am. Guess who's still around?

My brother (Omni/Omnislash9999... who was not active for very long) and my friend from school (Viper) found it each on their own and both told me about it around the same time. Viper was who really wanted me to join. I do like Final Fantasy, so I checked it out. It got fun for me about a year after I joined. I sort of lurked until then. But I started a journal and joined an RP with El Uno (now goes by Nixon) and Anarchy (Lover Boy now. Inactive. And I always liked Anarchy better) at about the same time. And then Toph started talking to me. And then TFF chat. And I could go on, but I'll just say things got good.

[Fate]

And you skipped the part about how you became an S-Mod, so that means you are forced to stay. So either way, you're pretty much stuck here. Unless... you do leave... and someone else got promoted to S-Mod?

[Led Zeppelin]

Well, I found this site randomly through google :]... I was looking for ways to find the Magus Sisters in Final Fantasy X and a forum popped up.... I read through somethings on it but it didn't really help so I got off of it and started to go down to the second option which was this forum ^^... I decided that since my answer wasn't coming up I'd join and ask for some help since it's a Final Fantasy Forum I knew someone had to know =P... On my first day I thought it was very inviting and I myself like Ralz did not intruduce myself since I didn't really see a point to it... I stuck around though because I like it here and you're all great people and a huge help when it comes to gaming ^.^

[Xanatos]

I was searching for some cool FF sites when I found TFF.In other words I stumbled upon it.Anyway I joined and here I am.Also I must say that this is some awesome site,I really like it.

[Unknown Entity]

I found TFF looking for help for Final Fantasy VII. Kinda tripped in, and quicky ran out of a while before coming back to stay. ^^

[SOLDIER #819]

Probably Yahoo. I was searching around for forums after I found out how fun they could be to lurk at. There were like two other big FF sites at the time... but on a spur I joined this one. Maybe it was because of the RP battles and the black and red (?) design. And then that was that! Luckily the first person I ever spoke to invited me into her group. The rest is history.

Regarding where TFF came from... I believe it had its roots in FFGalaxy or something over a decade ago. Fuzz talked about it once. That's where most of the "oldest veterans" originated from. And then he co-owned TheFinalFantasy with someone else... who I think had a "lionheart" in his name. I need to wrestle these facts from ambiguity.

Where are you Fuzz?!

[Fate]

That raises another interesting question: Why did you guys choose this forum instead of the other Final Fantasy forums? I mean, if you Google it, there are lots of options: Final Fantasy Forums, The Final Fantasy Forums, Final Fantasy Insider Forums, Eye On Final Fantasy Forums, etc. yet you picked this one... guess it was fate...

[RamesesII]

I went searching for a Final Fantasy forum actually, i was on the internet one day and was looking up some Fantasy pics or something like that and i saw a link to a Fantasy forum and then it just clicked in my head why don't i look for a Final Fantasy forum i am sure there are a lot of other freaks like me out there who like Final Fantasy and the links came up i looked at the first one and then the second and underneath it had "One of the oldest.... so and so ' i cant remember what else it said anyway i liked the look of the second one and TAda here i am. The main thing that caught my attention was the set out of the site and now i don't like any forum unless it is a vb site or similar.
It took me a while to figure out the site i think it took me a month before i figuerd out the Visitor message thing haha anyway there you have that's how i became King of the Holy Knights.. oh wrong story.
