After some recent posts in another thread about not advertising this place too much for fear of loons, I wondered just how people had come across this place.

I joined up on the very first day after AlexBlackwell posted an advert in one of the premier kook hangouts: sci.space.history. Luckly it must have pretty much slipped under the radar being new and all, I wouldn't recomend doing that again!

Just curious...

James

I stumbled upon mer.rplproject ways back when.... I think it had something to do with Bad Astronomy's bulletin board (r.i.p.), though my memories are overshadowed by the wealth of imagery this forum has yielded.....

I now visit here daily... it's got the prime real estate position on my Safari Bookmarks Bar... right next to APOD. smile.gif

Same here, though it seems so long ago I struggled to remember the exact details. And yes, I'm addicted.
