> Reading the site journal about weird searchs leading to rinkworks, I got curious about how everybody got here. Me, somebody sent me a link to the dialectizer, I checked it out, then checked the rest of the site out later when I was >bored. Pretty boring.

I had been coming to Rinkworks at various times since almost the beginning of my internet experience, without knowing it was Rinkworks. I know that I had spent some time in Brain Food and read one of the BAMs several times before I actually found out they were part of the same site.

My actual introduction to Rinkworks came when I searched randomly for Science Fiction and Fantasy books on Go.com. Book a Minute came up and I read through all the SF/F ones, and then all the Classic ones before noticing it was part of a bigger site. I checked it out and then ended up playing Story Hunt, which led to the Forum and then finally into chat. Pretty boring I guess.

However, reading everyone's original stories has made me think. There are some people on here who are relatively new, or at least came after me, who I think of as regulars: Ria, Sosiqui, LaZorra. Then there are people who have been on longer than me, or longer than some people I think of as regulars who I still think of as newbies: Quartz, Lucky Wizard, etc. Does anyone else have this, or am I just weird?
