How did you find Cantr?

Figured a little poll might be useful now to check how people flow in. The reason I did not include all the game sites we are voting on is that I figured they are not so big it would show. But if "Other game site" gets damn lot of votes then by all means make a new poll with better options. But lets try with this first.
I personally found my way in through Mpogd though the description there was pretty poor and short, and when arriving to the Cantr main page I was depressed by loads of text and I was like let me in already! And then I noticed that you gotta wait for the application to be manually checked! Oh what agony... And that you must use a number for your ID and you cannot change it. And when I first logged in there was loads of old messages and I was totally freaked out, do you get this much every day? But I've never been a quitter. Well exept when my brother said I cannot make pancakes... but that's not relevant at all...

I believe I found it by searching for "free online RPGs"

Oh short story to mine:
I had never ever tried an online game, and rarely went online except to chat with my irl friends.
Then one day, as I learned from Kroner, he and Industriallist went around their highschool posting up
www.cantr.net signs. Anyways word spread via my friend who goes to that highschool to me, and so I made an account...or actually quite a few.
Deleted the otherx2 accounts before anyone noticed. Steep learning curve.
Anyways, now I go online quite a lot, and spend the majority of my free time there. Which has it's negatives, and positives, the latter column being filled with cantr related stuff.

I think I found it by the same search ("free online RPGs")...it took me hours, but I was looking for something good to do. And I finally found it.

I actually found it from an article on GameWyrd, where it was game of the month or something. Best/worst decision I ever made was to follow it up. Good for me. Bad for my grades...

There was an article? And we were game of the month? Can you link to the article and where it says we were game of the month? This is the first I have heard of it.

I'll have to thank/kill Missy for inviting me into this game. I am now hopelessly addicted and everyone in my life gets ticked off at me for it. Thanks, Missy.
Die now.

rklenseth mentioned it on fireflyfans.net and I got on ever since. It's been nearly a Cantrian decade since I started.

I have the strangest story here I imagine;
I thought up of a very similar game. Searched around for one that resembled the game in my head. Searched for "society simulator". Im not kidding, either.

Well, you can all thank my husband for showing me then, but will that be after or before you kill me?
Anyways, my husband learned of it in a yahoo chat RP room. I seen the ad too, but really it was my husband who convinced me to play. (Imagine, I initially told him it was stupid.
)
But then, a few of the people who I introduced to it, also said it was stupid at the beginning.

I don't recall, really. I think I was searching Yahoo! or somethin...
Honestly, like most noobs I thought this game sounded fun, but thought it was really boring the first couple days.
But it's been all uphill from there....muahahaha...
