How many found us by google searching?

[Swing]

I'm curious: How many of you found the forum by using Google or another search engine, and we came up?

And what type of topic were you searching for to find us?

 

[Caribou]

I came here when PS imploded and all the good people said this was the place to be. I found PS by doing an internet search, though not Google. It was probably DuckDuckGo but I wouldn’t swear to it.

 

[Magpie]

I did.
One I used to be seemed on to just evaporate so I looked a little further afield, as I knew in the States it was more a way of life. And here we are - I think over two years now?

 

[Morgan101]

I was looking for a better site, and was sent a recommendation from another member. We were like minded and wanted similar traits in a prepping site. This worked out very nicely.

 

[Pearl]

I did! But I was looking for another forum a friend quit, she said it got really big and people were ultra tacky! I wanted to see for myself! I stumbled on to HCL and joined immediately!

Just a PS refugee, glad to be here

 

[snappy1]

I came from Sufficient Self to PS and then here.

 

[RATPACKER]

I used a search engine in March or April . Looking for an alternate & improved type forum.
Looks like I found the right one.

 

[OldSchool]

I was invited thru a third party. Long story and not from another prepping site, political.

I like to think I’d have found this place sooner or later on my own. Now I’m just thankful for the invite.

 

[d_marsh]

I used a search engine, most likely either Brave or DuckDuckGo. I am sure I searched for stuff like preparedness, survival, homesteading, etc.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I came via two other forums.
One was the "Pit".
And no it's not NASCAR.
The other was where bunches came from.
I also came with Phideaux,Swing,Calico Katie,etc.

 

[TexasCharm]

I'm sure I did. probably searching prepper or homesteading forums...

 

[Spikedriver]

I did not come here from a search engine. I came from a Carbon firearms forum, to the firearms forum that was formerly a sister site to this site. When that site began to be dominated by some rather unseemly personalities, I slid on over here with Phideaux and a few of the other "charter members".

 

[Patchouli]

If I recall correctly, I think I was invited through the soap forum by administrators.
I was on another forum but it was not good. I met a few of you there. @MoBookworm1957 was there, and a few of the women that used to post here in the sewing and crafty areas.

 

[Haertig]

I was a Phideaux invitee.

Same here

Come to think of it, I am pretty sure I found the website address written on the wall of a truck stop bathroom offering a good time? When will that be happening?

 

[Spikedriver]

OMG, BP!

You're too late. It was a one time party...

I followed @UrbanHunter and @Amish Heart from Mainstream Preppers.

Where is Urban lately?

Not here enough!!

 

[UrbanHunter]

Hi guys, I'm here, just busy as a one armed paper hanger... Right now I'm trying to keep up with 3 jobs at work and it is the end/start of our year, so closing out stuff, planning new stuff, and trying to address all the requests for information from self-important people...

I keep checking in on you, but I just don't have much fun stuff to talk about. I did go for an afternoon walk and loaded up on chiggers... I'm just itching to tell you about them

FYI- I followed @Amish Heart here after MainStreamPreppers went belly-up....

It's really interesting to see the connections many of you have with each other. Especially interesting since we are on the WorldWideWeb, and it can be a small place too.

Those connections run deep!

I have found that lasting friendships are often times the result of interacting with someone online for many years, then meeting that person in person. The bond seems even deeper when you're not right next door to each other and have to drive/fly halfway across the country to meet. It's especially fun because you find that new friend to be exactly what you expected and the complete opposite of what you expected - both at the same time. Everyone builds up some image in their mind of what the person they're "typing too" in a forum looks like, acts like, their voice sounds like, their nice-ness/a$$-ness, etc. I will say that everyone I have met after interacting online has been better than I expected in person. Every last one. I have never been disappointed or disillusioned with anyone. And the big bonus is people that I wasn't sure I would like - I liked a whole bunch!

I had no idea this forum existed, I was on SB where I met @SoJer - he invited me to join here. Lovely place.
