Well, you've just got to be more resourceful, and examine the page source to find the proper anchor.

Was trolling around the old Skeptictank.com forums... could never register there as their stuff was left unattended and whatnot for who knows how long.

Somebody mentioned an actual working forum with a skeptic community lived here... so here I am.

I was just hopping around the net looking up skeptic crap and I came across a Kil Report. Found the forums, registered. That was way back; 09/27/2001 to be exact! Well I kind of disappeared for a while and it will probably happen again some time. I still lurk and read way more than I post.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Oh yes!
I just recalled the first thing I read on this site... it was the Kil Report, the one with giant shapeshifting lizards. I laughed so much that I couldn't help but tag along. I guess the first thread I read was one of V's, too.

As you see, I joined solely for the comical relief

I was lured here by Scientology.

In the process of researching Scientology on the net I checked out someone's skeptic page which had a link to here. It was so long ago that I can't remember any more details.

I got here from a link from the Skeptic's Dictionary.

Oh... Thanks Dave, my excuse is that it was past 5am, and I was tired and wanted to go to bed. I examined the source and found how to grab the post nr, before I realized you put it in the link above. I guess I'll never stop learning new things, and thanks Dave for being a good teacher.

I searched for agnosticism, agnostic chats, atheist chats, forums, etc, and stumbled across SFN (as well as others that haven't interested me much). I like to lurk around the SFN and read the Kil reports and the interesting posts, but as long as I have been a member here I haven't been posting often, or regularly.

I thought I had posted that I couldn't remember how I found the site, but I can't find the post I thought I had posted.

If it is here, I'm going to look even worse.
