Here's my story:
NOTE: There's A LOT more to it, but you don't want to hear how I found Chaostic forums...that's WAY too long...you can go there to read it.
I was on another forum at the time, called Chaostic (Sorry I can't post the link, but why would you want it?), and I am still registered, though do not post much anymore at all. I registered myself during december, and contributed to the forum a lot. Durin the time I had saved up and bought Wind Waker and a Gamecube, and started play. Whereas before I was on that forum every day, now I was on it once a week. I started to get a little over-obsessed with Wind Waker, and I had already known about
ZU before, but just as a great Zelda information site. During while I played, I started to take an extreme liking to the character Medli, and so signed a fanlising about her. I made some codes, contributed to it, yada yada, and didnt think I had had enough Medli for a month. So I went in search of a forum that had people talking about wind waker and possibly other zelda games. I did find some, but none were very good forums and as well made as Chaostic was and is. I found some people taking about Medli vs. Marin, and how they're alike, but nothing interesting and in depth, I thought there were just no good forums out there. Soon after I learned that the best Zelda site i had ever been to (
ZU duh) also hosted a large forum. I went to visit it, and it turned out to be a really great place. I signed up as goldenchaos, like i do on all my forums (should've call myself ultimate_medlifan or something...) and vuala! Here I am! I do now just notice how well the rules here are enforced, at Chaostic they were much more lenient. But it sure is great to be at a good forum again!
