I was digging through some old posts and saw a thread like this a looooooooong time ago and thought it would be kind of cool to hear everyone's story on how they came to be here on SSD. You don't have to write out everything, but lets here a little of your story.
For me I found SSD through Zanmato Designs. I couldn't help but see some kind of rivalry between the 2 sites in the beginning. I made an account here on SSD and barley posted here for months. I was a hardcore ZD member to the max. Then slowly but surely I began to post here as well. My posting ramped up here shortly after it seemed like ZD was going to fail when they moved to IPB and away from PB. After it did fail and they tried to bring back the old PB site I had made my home here at SSD and stuck to it. I kept as active as I could over the years hitting patches of inactivity, but who doesn't leave here and there? To be completely honest I shit a brick when I was asked to be a moderator here. I'd been a part of SSD for so long and never dreamed I'd be a part of the staff. Now here I am.
I only hope that we can start kicking ass again and get SSD hopping like it used to be.

The first time I ever laid eyes on SSD was many many many moons ago, on a foggy September night. I had been cruising through the streets of PB Support, seeking out... the one. The one that would capture my heart, fill me with butterflies, and fill my darn image request with something that could be ranked above mediocre. As though directed by fate, I typed in a wrong address and was redirected to the ProBoards main page. There... I found the name SolidSnake Designs. Curiosity forced my mouse to the link... and with one click, I found myself at SSD. But then the large-ness of the place scared me away until I somehow found it again a couple years later.  As they say, the rest is history. |

Found SSD through G101. Back in v2 but I was never active until v5.
That's when I really got into graphic design and SSD caught my eye
more. Then I came in and owned a bunch of people in the battle boards.
LPF a number of times. XD I was really only here to participate in battles
at the time. I never got too much into the community.

I came across SSD via an anime forum that was decked out with a custom skin. SSD's URI was plastered all over the source code, and I came around midway through v3's lifespan. Pretty sure Stealth was still considered a cool guy at that time. Five years later, I can barely remember anything worth telling aside from the countless times I've been banned for my hot temper, but it was good times regardless.
Believe me, if I had some tall tales to tell, they'd be told.

I joined here around the time of Vizionary Studios, if anyone can remember that far back. I never posted much, though. But when VS got hacked, inevitably leading to its downfall, I stumbled my way back to SSD. Worked my way up to Show Off (now "Critique") Moderator, as well as an Art Group Member. Started to care less and less, though, and I eventually disappeared for a while. I'm simply a lurker now.

I was on a Harry Potter fan forum and it was like a magic school because it was named Silver Stone Academy. I was quite active there for a while until I joined The Writers Cove which is actually a lit forum. I mispelled the The Writers Cove url and it directed me to Proboards and so I found SSD, being the number one at that moment. So, I got in and found the lit board to be more awesome and there was the Battle Board too. I got dazed by Luke's creations like some kind of an enchantment so... that's it. I forgot all the other forums and SSD became my home.
P.S. I could never forget that it was Chantry (she was orange) who was the first person to welcome me aboard.

Found this because of Eternity. I knew of her relationship with her other forum besides ProVision and looked at it a bit. I knew it was huge but at that point of time I didn't really like the skin. I signed up anyway. Then I saw the email update about v7. Took a look in and woots! Sexiest skin on Proboards! Started to post and realized how nice everything was here.  |

It was an affiliate of Xeno Evolution's (  I MISS IT!!!!), and I never really felt an interest to it until Xeno went bye-bye. Then Me and Dalton migrated over here  LOVED IT! And then I met Pandora, Car, Knighty, Lawrie, and various other awesomeness members Then they started leaving. >.> |

Joined back in 2005.
I was so into the proboards thing back when I was 12-13.
It was pretty much the place to be, and I wanted to be there, too.
Came back on multiple aliases. Stuck to this one in October of '07.
The end.
EDIT: Holy shit, I just found my first account.
Yeah... no one would've guessed.

According to my profile, I found this place sometime back in April of '06. Probably through PBS, not sure though. Just been popping in for a little bit ever since |

Beh I joined this place several times from the time of 03-05 but finally settled on this account though I wasnt very active. Then I met a good number of you when Virt and Matt made Xino Evolution. Then it closed and then later I took over it until some drama lead to it being destroyed. So out of boredom I followed Jamie to SSD and started posting. Met Ollie, Car, Barbie, Lawrie, Tonya, James, Pritchard, and a few others and made friends with them. Modded the coding boards for a little while. Then went back to being a normal member and have been here since.
