Why did you come to the Cellar? - Page 2

I Googled something and the cellar came up as the second or third link. I can't remember what the search was for. That will drive me crazy the rest of the day.

I have a cousin who lives in Canada and he sent an email to me with a heading "How can you tell a guy took this picture". The link brought me here and I looked it over and decided to join.

Soap Operas can't compare to this place.

I haven't been here that long, and I don't remember. If I had to guess, I'd say Stumble Upon. I voted for other/ it's enormity, but I don't really think of this place as big. I think it's intimate, that's why I came here. One of the forums I looked into was Something Awful. It had good points, but it was just so freakin huge, that I could never keep up with it.

Why did you come to the Cellar? Because my husband was trapped on a fishing boat at sea in a storm and I was home alone freaking out and needed some support.

What brought you upon this website? I must've googled it.

Who directed you to this link? see above

How did you come about this virtual space? Um, isn't that the same question for the third time?

SteveDallas · 07-23-2007, 09:03 AM

Yeah. Whale Penis. It had to be the whale penis.

Well my FIRST time discovering The Cellar (c. 1991), I was looking through a listing of ads for Philadelphia-area BBSs. There was one that was an island of text in a sea of misbegotten ASCII & ANSI graphics. "Wow," I thought, "words."

Fast forward to 2002. I had not called The Cellar in ages... I just got out of the habit, though I believe it was still around all that time, including a stint as a Telnet service (which I logged on to a couple times). I was doing some searching on the Wayback Machine, and for some reason it occured to me to pop cellar.org in and see what was there. (The last time I had been active, the WWW as we know it today barely existed.)

But they're just posts man, just posts...

I was in search of a forum with a larger more diverse group than the two local ones that I am regularly involved in. Google search. Somehow I got here.

Preparing to threadjack are you?

There was a dialup line within my local calling area. I picked The Cellar off a list of BBSes in Delaware Valley Computer User, a free newspaper that I used to pick up at Tower Records.

I have just realized there are a number of anachronisms in my post. I will just add that I had to drive uphill in the snow both ways to get to the Tower Records, where I frequently purchased Cassette Tapes and the occasional book. My car had a manual transmission, no power steering, no air conditioning, and an AM Radio.

smurfalicious · 07-23-2007, 02:22 PM

I saw all the love, warmth, welcome, support, guidance, and intelligent conversation that could only lead me to believe I found future epic of boards.

That, and there was a post about
