WHO or WHAT inspired you to join PT?

[MoonandBean]

I thought this would be a fun...down memory lane....thread. Before I joined, I would always look at the DOTD and then I would read all the posts. I was always so touched by tatsxxx11 posts that it inspired me to join just so I could send her a message telling her how special I thought her posts were. The other thing I remember early on was how much time EmeraldGreen always took to help other PTers with a problem. Remember the "kittens free to good homes" post? Her response post must have listed 50 resources for the original poster to use to help with her spay/nueter problem. I remember being so amazed that EmeraldGreen did that research for a person in PA being that EmeraldGreen lived in British Columbia . That certainly wasn't the last time I've seen her put forth that kind of effort to help others. I remember Freedom being the first to frost me and Catmandu making me google what on earth THE RAINBOW BRIDGE FOUND HOTEL ANGELS were!

Lucky for me, all of these characters have become wonderful friends through this PT family and I feel very blessed to have you all in my life

I just stumbled upon the site, and first joined only to comment occasionally on the dog, cat or pet featured daily. It was last winter when I was housebound after fracturing my hip and suffering from boredom, that I joined in on some of the threads. It was all uphill from there............

Amy (WolfQU2) wanted me to join..

I was browsing for cat info and came across COTD. For a long time, I looked at COTD and then I noticed PT!! I read posts for three days and saw one I wanted to reply to, it was a Cat Rescue post, so I joined - and have no regrets!

I saw a link on my nephew's pc, a link to DOTD !
The rest is history

I was surfing the net and came across it quite by accident, i think i was looking at pet related subjects, well it is a day i have never regretted, been here four years this year, i can hardly believe it myself.

I don't remember how or why I found it, I think it was beacuse I was looking for a cat forum and stumbled across PT. I lurked for a year or two, wanted to be sure I would fit in and feel comfortable here. I especially loved the pictures everyone posted of their babies.. I joined and that is all she wrote, here I am still! I it right in, this is HOME!

i was researching dog stuff for alex, found the site, started reading about cinder wanting to keep the stray she found, and well the rest is history....

Cori (molucass) told me about PT years and years ago. At the time, we both belonged to a rat forum (not sure if it was ratpalace or ratfanclub/ratsrule) but somehow, we managed to talk a lot on AIM. She introduced me to this place, I immediately joined, and have loved it ever since.

There used to be a message board and chat room called "Acme Pet" that a lot of pet people posted and chatted on. We were all very attached to our cyber-home! Then, one day, it was closed, just gone.

We were a group of lost souls, searching the internet for a new home and each other. Some of us - myself, Glacier and Shelteez I know right offhand, I'm sure there are others - ended up here. We are the AcmePet Refugees.

Well, we are glad you found us - consider yourself full-fledged citizens, refugees no longer!

I just sort of stumbled upon it, and had some questions to ask about my dog's behavior to see if anyone could help explain it. And since, I've just decided to lurk, posting at whatever peaks my interest.

[columbine]

A co-worker who reads PotD regularly told me about it, and suggested that I submit Smudge for CotD. After that, the Cuteness Waves emanating from the screen magnetized me in!

Love, Columbine

After I adopted Nikki (I still miss her!) I started to Google for cat sites. I stumbled onto PT this way. I believed I lurked awhile then I joined in Feb. of 2004. I love PT and everyone here is special. Also if it wasn't for PT I wouldn't have met who I consider my girlfriend, Moosmom! We still gab on the phone almost every day.

I don't remember why I joined. Is there a way to search for posts older than one year?
