Answer 7

I found out from a friend and then one day clicked on the hockey section, and it pulled me in and has not yet spit me out

Answer 8

One of my bestfriends was (and still is) obsessed with Y!A, and went on whenever she could. So one day in school I was watching her go on and answer, and it looked like fun. I went on, got an account, and went straight for the hockey section. It was the only thing I wanted to talk about, I guess. Haha. But really, it's the only thing I go on, besides the singles and dating section, which I go on rarely.

This is muh place(:

Answer 9

To answer your question-

I started pretty much the same way around Thanksgiving time and it was TONS of fun back then...Now not very much fun with getting violations all the time and being suspended for no reason.

Answer 10

I didn't feel like doing any work one day and came across this website. Being a great procrastinator I thought the hooky section was tailor made for me. OK, not really, but...

My wife stumbled onto answers somehow and asked a question about our car. She thought it was interesting and so I had a look see, found the hockey section and been addicted ever since. I've seen a lot of interesting people come and go since then, most of whom I wish would have stayed.

I rarely visit other sections and even more rarely do I participate in them.  I have a little over 6600 points, at least 6500 came from right here. This section is my hideaway from work, making you folks accomplices in my procrastination.

Answer 11

The first time I actually came to answers I found it through a search for something and clicked the link. I really don't even remember what I was looking for. But I looked around and signed up. I used to hang out in pets and TV the first few days. Then made it to the hockey section. Been here mostly every since

Bonus Fave section is the hockey section

Answer 12

A friend told me about it! At first I just went on ocasionally but after a while I kinda go addicted!

Answer 13

My friend was telling me about it. So the next time I was home sick from school I came on, found the hockey section and fell in love.

Bonus: Definately hockey.

Answer 14

I don't even remember how I got here!  I just know I'm addicted!  Even the trolls are amusin'...at times..

Hockey!

Answer 15

Same here J.O'Blaze, saw the link on the sports page and peeked in.  I've dabbled in the football section too but it's not as fun and interesting as the hockey section.

Answer 16

I was at my Internship last summer and EVERYTHING was blocked, Fantasy Sports, all the arcade game sites, and pretty much everything else but News, and ESPN. I was on Yahoo looking at the Rumors, and I saw the questions on the bottom similarly to you. Saw it made it through the firewall, and it became my best friend. I was gone for 7 months when I went back to school, but came back to the same job when I graduated and resumed killing time here.

I was a TC in Baseball and Hockey before I got a ton of violations. The only sections i'm ever in are Hockey, Baseball, Polls and Surveys, and Football (in season).

Answer 17

Same as you.  I was looking for opinion peices on the NHL homepage and I thought that one of the questions they had listed was a title for an article and it brought me here.  I fell off during the school year, but i go strong during last summer and this summer....i plan on keeping up with it more and more now...

global warming

cruise travel

green living....
