"How you got to participate in TMP?" Topic

I mean … do you remember how was the first time that you "visited" these place? … who or how you got here …?

And in the special case of Bill…how or who induced you to began with this task?

In my case… was in other forum that I participated… and some day… some guy recomended to visit this forum because of a Napoleonic thread…

I remember the John the OFM threads as the most interesting and funny to read… well… then began history…

And in your case? … do you remember?

No, I don't remember. Brain damage, sorry.

I (Think) someone mentioned it at a game night or convention.
AS PR says Maybe brain damage….

something, something, sword, something stone. that's about all I can remember.

I was on another site, and a link was provided to this site for a topic of some kind, yet that's all I can recall.

I found it by accident and was immediately hooked

All about scales: TMP link

Then searched for an AWI/ Horse and Musket rulesets. I believe there was a discussion about the Rank and File rule set.

I was hooked after that.

No idea. It was a long time ago…

…in a galaxy far, far away.

I remember 'Miniature Campaigns' on Yahoo groups then following a link here, decades ago.

I guess I just stumbled in one day around 12 years ago.

I found it by accident and was immediately hooked

Couldn't put it better…

I'm pretty sure I found it via a link at the old Ed's Hobby Hovel website.

My guess would be via rec.games.miniatures or something like that.

another vote for rec.games.miniatures, but that was a long time ago…

A link from either Ed's Hobby Hovel or a Colonial Games site – found a lot of relevant materials – so stayed…

I believe a link from Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial Era Wargames Page.

same here

Wonder to know about John the OFM!! (smile)

I was looking for painting tips and Google-fu brought me to TMP. It was all downhill from there…

Googling some details on miniatures or rules, kept bringing me here.

I was kidnapped by two burly men with a burlap bag. Next I knew I was in here and still looking for the exit.

A man slipped me a plain brown paper envelope with the address on behind some bike sheds….

I had just gone online and e-mailed friends to let them know and ask for recommendations – TMP was one of them, been here pretty well daily ever since.

Referenced in other wargaming blogs that I have since discontinued to visit.

Via Fanaticus.

got a link from the Terra-genesis forum. Murphy's "Tales from Work" stories along with someone's donation of a years worth of supporting membership kept me around.

I'm pretty sure I found it via a link at the old Ed's Hobby Hovel website.

Same here… circa 1998 maybe? Back when colored text, textured backgrounds and shadowed buttons were all the rage.

My profile says my first visit was in 2007, but I know I was coming here much earlier than that. I really don't remember the year but the internet was still young and so was TMP the first time I visited.

Come on Bill and John…! … Please enlight us with your history!… (smile)…

I had moved locations and was looking for a club to join.

Trolling the web?

I don't remember the first time I found the site but was amazed someone else collected figures other than a few people I knew from many years before. Also I visited and searched the files for information many years before I joined.

Where am I?

How did I get here?

I have no memory about life before TMP.

Okay, the last is not accurate.

Honestly don't remember.

I first visited TMP about learning about it on SCN. I became a member when I had trouble logging in there and needed to let the admin (who is a member here) know about it. I visit this site more often now.
