[ Survey ] How Many People Joined Neo Due To GTA?

Hey guys, I just want to do a quick survey. I find it interesting that most people that joined in 2002 that I know, had GTA3 as being the reason that they joined, and I want to see how many of you guys joined due to a GTA game?

i.e. if the reason you came to Neoseeker was due to you looking for cheats for a GTA game, then put your name here along with the game, I think it'd be interesting to see how many regulars GTA forums have managed to bring...

Grand Theft Auto 3 XD lol.

The first ever time visiting the forms was due to Football Manager 05.

Yeah, it was GTA 3 for me. I came here looking for advice on beating Patriot Playground and The Big & Veiny. Ah good times.

Lol. Think of those names "Patriot playground with my Big and Veiny."

I think The_fitness_guru came here using those as codenames.

I joined because of the myths in San Andreas.

A cookie goes to the person who can tell me what my first Neo-name was, and yes it was actually GTA related

Never knew you were first known as "The Fitness Guru" Chiro...

I first visited Neoseeker in November/December 2002 looking for help (not cheats) on certain missions for GTA3.
I never joined or posted until I discovered a way of beating an El Burro mission, I joined in January 2003 and made my first thread.
I was taken aback by how informative that forum was and from then on I was hooked.
Am I also correct in thinking that around that time ChiroVette had for one reason or another taken an unfortunate leave of absence from Neoseeker?
Then I got used to how the site worked (took me about a month to finally click that flashing box at the top L/H side) and it was my first ever neopm lol.
Took me another two months to find there was a 'Football Forum' and Football is my first love.
I still keep in touch with people I met through the GTA forum 5 years ago so to me the GTA forums and the close communities they spawn do nothing but good for Neoseeker.

Yeah. Waaaaay back then, El Rey and I had a fight. It was messy, and I walked away from moderating and the forums for a few months until Redemption set everything right. Since it is so many years later, I figured I would answer the question.
