How did you find Dragonmount?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

google

[Amadine]

I found DM through a google search too. I was looking for info on when the final book was to be released in the series. I found DM's tribute to RJ and discovered he had died. I was devastated. I lurked the DM forums for a few months then caved in and joined.

[Elgee]

I found DM before Google or Facebook existed, I think. I went to Tor's site to see when the next book would be coming out and found a link to DM there. It was the first time I had looked at any kind of fan site for anything at all, and I didn't have the vaguest idea what to expect.

[Ernmore]

I was waiting for CoT ot KoD to come out and googled WOT, this site was the top of the list.

[Zizoz]

Might have been a Google search; but I'm pretty sure I had heard of the site already, probably from someone mentioning it on another site.

[Aiel Heart]

"the back of a book" should also be an option, because a friend told me about it, but then I forgot, but then it was mentioned at the back of one of the books and then I remembered and then joined that day :P

check the poll options again lol

[Aiel Heart]

Good. Well originally it was a friend that led me here so I'll just stick with that but now that options open :D

[Elsworth_]

Does nostalgia count? If not, then google :P

[Amadine]

So you are returning then Gadi? I remember lurking on DM years ago but never joined until January 2010. I actually joined to begin RPing and from there ended up in several social groups.

[Elsworth_]

Unfortunately, no. I was a regular of a WoT themed chatroom a little over a decade ago, tried hunting down any traces of the group and ended up here :).

[Amadine]

Might be worth starting a thread in the General Discussion forum Gadi - there are quite a few people who have been at DM for a very long time :)

[Liitha]

google, looking for info on when the next book came out, by random accident happened upon the rp boards, read some stories, left, was bored some weeks after and went back too read more wot related stories, ended up stumbling upon wt division offsite, and from there into chat, where i met some of the regulars and i guess then was traped, soon after submited my bios for a set of twins one being a novice the other a trainee

This ^^ Google rules.

 

Just put 'Wheel of Time' there, and found this :)

[theancients]

I've been reading the books for a while and after TGS I thought I'd check online to see if there was any information or website dedicated to TWoT. When I found this website and read the news of RJ's (I hope that's ok to use) I was gutted. Prior to just taking a chance (as was my case) in a second hand book store I purchased the first book, I'd been reading the full collection of the lord of the rings (not just the 3 books) but the silmarillion, lays of belgariad, etc. and for me personally inside I needed an epic story (which you've gotta agree) it is but imho RJ to me is right there with JRR Tolkien.

 

I pose a question to the audience: (and maybe the board could throw up a poll)

In todays technological advances - is the book in the hand worth two in the internet bush?

 

The ancients.

[Amadine]

Welcome to DM! We might use that for January's discussion i think.

[Panchi]

I was searching for spoilers on Gathering Storm when I came across Dragonmount.

[RiBurton]

I found DM via Twitter. Halfway through the series and wondered if others were reading so I did a twitter search.

[Kaylynn]

Google

[Kiserai Siswai]

Jenn Hama N'dore had tormented this one to find and post on Dragon Mount. For an Aiel, he is quite persuasive. If given a chance, he could move Stedding Jongai to Al'cair'rahienallen with a spoon.

[amegakure]

I found it about 4 years back having been on a fan site for a different book. Found it through google

[Crowl Rife]

I found Dragonmount not long after it came into being. I have no idea how I found it, since that was a long time ago. I doubt I used Google, since it had only just come online around the same time.

 

I've been lurking ever since, only actually signed up a year or so ago.
