When/How did you find Listal?

Gunza Blazin Rank : 10	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 14:20 - Simple, you tell everyone how/when you came across this website. Don't forget, Alt Accounts don't count! It was recommended to me by a friend. Everything from the Collection Database to the List Making is right up my street. I was a member from January last year up until March. I had my final months of Uni and a dissertation to write so I just put Listal on hold. After some 'hardworking' and some proper party hard shennanigans, I came back around July and have added yo my account since then. Your turn.

Deleted Rank : 32848	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 14:27 - i was bored so i did searches and found it
spiegalr Rank : 242	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 14:28 - I used to have 3 accounts keeping track of what Listal keeps in one. Then on a random day of surfing, I discovered Listal and have since become addicted.
Grand Assault Rank : 8	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 14:30 - A friend of mine on another forum recommended it to me. I didn't think it was my kind of thing, but I quickly got hooked. I like enhancing the music database these days.

silent killer Rank : 156	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 14:47 - I was looking for a place to keep track of all the money I've wasted that was free. It took me about three days of internet searching before I found listal. You wouldn't believe how many people pay for this type of service.
jgnikkila Rank : 42	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 15:03 - I actively looked for it, a place to catalogue all my movies (DVD sites won't do cause 2/3 of my movies are on VHS), the same way I use rateyourmusic for music. I didn't like what IMDb offered for cataloguing. I searched the RYM boards for "rateyourmovies" discussions, googled for more discussions and comparisons, and checked out the sites on what kind of titles they had in their database, specially "old" and "foreign" films, and also compared how many ratings they'd received. Listal came the winner. After joined (about 5 months ago), I realised you can add any film in the IMDb to your collection, the films amount to a proper "catalogue" not just a list of ratings, you can use tags to organise your collection, and that you can make lists (both private & public). A few days ago I was pointed out that I can add personal notes to each film title, which means I can use Listal to keep track of which films are on which videotape. So basically Listal works for me. The "discover" aspect is still a bit lacking, because there isn't exactly an active community of people with similar tastes to mine having discussions and writing reviews etc. But I'm sure this'll change. On the other hand, I use Listal for wanted lists, shopping lists (prices in different stores included in comments), as well as watching/uploading trailers so Listal does actually help me discover movies. How's my typing getting along?

I couldn't find a certain song by War Rocket Ajax, and them I came across Wyrmslayer here, who had the CD, an voila. That is the most weird and interesting excuse I've ever heard and would love to hear what songs are only about coffee. Anyway there was a site called Guzzlefish that I tried to use to list some of my collection and it went down so I went looking for a new one and found Listal.
Deleted Rank : 32848	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 15:31 - I came across this site by getting on one of my friends Yahoo Accounts. I ignored it then...But when Ana and Takara tryed to sign me up I said "I already made an account." As soon as I came home from school I made my account (this was in augest 2007) I became friends with Lots of people. I deleted my account many times but came back. That's My story.

Chibi Itachi Rank : 2175	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 15:42 - I found Ninja Master Genkai's "make your own jutsu" thread and I had just thought of a flaming fart one and I wanted to add it, so a few weeks later I got my account.
chibiyusa Rank : 46	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 15:58 - I'm pretty sure a podcast recommended it to me. (Unfortunately I don't listen to podcasts as much as I used to back then). I could be wrong. Either way the main reason was to stop my so called friends "forgetting" to return things to me. I've been here for almost two years now I suppose. Sigh... and I still lose stuff (although not as much as before).

Haha, believe it or not, i never completed it. Later, I'll dig through and find my "Track Listing".
chibiyusa Rank : 46	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:09 - I was trying to make a CD devoted solely to songs about coffee. I just couldn't resist seeing as I love them lawyer games so much but ah.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWj2UEOKpA It's the theme song of one of the characters... who drinks ridiculous amounts of coffee. Additionally it's my ringtone.
The Illusion Rank : 169	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:10 - omg phoenix right guy the one with the vizier on his head.
DefenderOfKnowledge Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:11 - Que?
chibiyusa Rank : 46	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:15 - It's a video game where you get to be a "lawyer" Godot, one of the prosecutors drinks ALOT of coffee. I'm sorry if it was too off-topic but I was just reminded by it.
DefenderOfKnowledge Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:17 - Ok, I just didn't connect the dots from coffee to lawyers....LOL. Wyrmslayer rocks, by the way. I wish he would sign on more.
chibiyusa Rank : 46	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 17:21 - Wyrmslayer rocks, by the way. I wish he would sign on more. I don't really blame him. If I were to compare Listal to how it was when I first got here to now it's alot different, and I'm not talking about all the fancy new things Tom has added. And 'sides not everyone has something to add to their list every day.
Midnight VIP Rank : 13	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 18:31 - I was searching for a social networking site for book lovers and came across Listal listed on some website that was cataloguing all the different types of websites. I um'ed and ah'ed about it for about a week, did some reading, investigated some other sites and then thought I'd join for the hell of it while I still looked for a book lovers site.
Uber VIP Rank : 29	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 29 19:12 - I had a guzzlefish account. Hated it. hardly ever used it. That's why I went looking for something else and found Listal.
Thilian VIP Rank : 26	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 30 17:37 - There was a DVD collection thread on the Atari forums. At first the thread starter practically forced everyone to link to a dvdaf.com account rather than cluttering the screen with marathon-sized posts, but someone popped in and out with the link to Listal and, after joining, I tried my best to drag everyone else into it.
Woobaby Rank : 415	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 30 23:28 - Listal was recommend on a post on LibrayThing. I love LibraryThing, but I wanted something similar but for DVDs and Music as well...
Scott Rank : 85	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 14:43 - Much like Woobaby, Listal was suggested on a book website that I frequent as another option to LibraryThing.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 14:56 - I used to catalog my movies offline (collectorz.com software) but it was a pain to let my friends and family know what I had. I tried a few other online sites that only dealt with movies, but once i found listal, i was impressed with how quickly its admin made changes and added improvements, and impressed at how near fully-open the database was, so we can add/edit our own pictures and movie posters. and that's when i got off crack and smack; i now had a new addiction :)
Brodie Bruce Rank : 28	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 15:16 - I came across Listal in early January 2007. There's an intersting story behind how I found it actually! I was surfing Yahoo images for Mallrats images because at the time I had an addiction to finding as many photos from the movie as possible. I still do that but very rarely now. Anyway, I found Listal on January 10, 2007. I was at my local library and it was close to closing time so I decided to create my account the next day. The photo that linked with Listal was this photo from a book titled "Mallrats", but this book had no connection with Kevin Smith. I actually have some of this up on my profile which says: "I actually found Listal completely by accident! I was searching for images on Mallrats and I found a weird book with MALLRATS as the title. I clicked on it and I looked around the site and was impressed with it. The rest is history!" So from there I began to become obsessed with Listal. It was also a little over two months after I joined that I found my girlfriend Jenn here on Listal!! If it wasn't for Listal I would've never found the love of my life!! She's made me so happy! :) Listal is a special site for me. That's my story!
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 15:27 - wow. I knew Listal can change your life, but Brodie, damn. lol congrats for you two.
Voxy Moderator Rank : 9	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 15:39 - Dang!... We should have a section for Listal romances! :P
Brodie Bruce Rank : 28	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 15:41 - Listal has changed my life! It allowed me to meet the most awesome woman EVER!! :) Thanks for the congrats.

Phil Rank : 21	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 16:30 - Nothing as exciting - sometime in late 2005/early 2006 (not sure which), a friend sent me the link over MSN. We're both still on here, although he doesn't venture onto the boards to my knowledge.
Physch Rank : 4122	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 16:37 - Tenshi recommended the site to me.
DefenderOfKnowledge Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 17:03 - Holy crap, Physch, stop talking so much. I don't want your life story. ;)
Munky Rank : 12	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 31 19:02 - I joined in may 2006. A co-worker was researching sites to help a college class keep track of books related to their studies and share with each other and he found listal. We both created accounts to test it out and I stuck around and used it. I used to keep the list of books I want to read on an excel spreadsheet so this is WAY better.

Xeil Rank : 865	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 2 18:22 - i was looking some stuff up on Alltheweb and one of the links brought me to a thread on Listal. it looked like a cool place to me, so i joined and i've had a good time chatting with people and bickering with others
Xeil Rank : 865	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 2 18:22 - oh, and it was roughly November last year when i found Listal.
Wolf-Paw Rank : 99	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 2 19:52 - I found it several times, but I ignored it most of the time. I saw the create your own jutsu thread Sonshi had up way back in like August. I decided I'd keep an eye on that site and see if I liked it, the next week I searched White Noise and I found it here, so I joined cuz it seemed like a good place to expand all resource knowledges, thanks to this place I have gotten partly over my anime craze, I have start watching a lot more mature shows(Mostly stuff like NCIVS or something, and stuff like Law And Order, oh and Monk lolz) I also started watching more mature Animes, I found out about a few interesting Animes and Mangas, as well as I am Legend, AVP-R and the Golden Compass(ALL OF WHICH I HAVEN'T SEEN CUZ MY CHEAPASS MOM WON'T SPEND A MEASLY 5$ A TICKET!)

Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 4 6:57 - In think the above two replies show why there are two distinct groups on here. You have people that found listal to manage their collections, and then others that found it when by googling up naruto.
NBA Sasaki Rank : 275	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 4 7:37 - Well... I also manage my collections here, PreLuDe.
Gunza Blazin Rank : 10	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 4 7:45 - After googling Naruto.

SuperSpongy Rank : 20	Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 4 9:10 - I got on the site after my brother told be about it. He reeeally likes making lists, so it was right up his alley. Funny thing is that he put in some things here and there and then I went all crazy and added tons of stuff so I'm way ahead of where he was. Granted I was single when I started entering this stuff and he is married with kids... who says I had too much time on my hands? Now I'm done school and will try to be on here more often, maybe get my girl to put more stuff on her list too, it's slightly addicting.
John Rank : 53	Posted : 3 months, 2 weeks ago at Apr 5 19:26 - Someone send me an e-mail telling me to join so i did i like review sites with stuff to do with movies, games i join movie Great site as well i visit it most days when i watch stuff or played games i like to mark it off to keep track of what i have seen and played. Just realized too its exactly a year since i joined now.

Wolf-Paw Rank : 99	Posted : 3 months, 2 weeks ago at Apr 7 22:11 - Lolz, Unfortunately TA, you are somewhat wrong. There isn't just those who found Naruto and those who found Lists. I originally found this place because of Naruto, but I didn't join because of it, I joined because i realized it had information that would prove useful(Hundreds of movies, TV shows, Books and Games) though, I'll admit, at that time I had no concern for contributing. But I did fill in a lot of tags for the books I've read ^^. And I wrote a few amateur reviews. And I am Ermm... In the process of making lists, though none are done lolz Omg... I just realized... Why am I always in the middle? The only thing I am not in the middle for is brothers... I am the older, but there is only 2 of us lolz
Gunza Blazin Rank : 10	Posted : 3 months, 2 weeks ago at Apr 8 3:26 - You're not in the middle Wolf-Paw you just took the side against me. Don't think you are neutral because you're not in a flame war. You're an idiot. I originally found this place because of Naruto Therefore you fall into 'finding this site by looking for Naruto; (you admitted it yourself!) and not because you were looking for a Collection Database. Which is what Prelude was referring to here: I think the above two replies show why there are two distinct groups on here. You have people that found listal to manage their collections, and then others that found it when by googling up naruto. That is a generalisation but it rings true with the majority of vocal people on the groups/website.

robelanator VIP Rank : 91	Posted : 3 months, 2 weeks ago at Apr 8 11:37 - I found out about Listal through a commenter on Digg. The launching of some other listing site (can't remember which it was) was the subject of the Digg story, but the commenter said that he liked Listal better. Clearly, I agreed. The only other site I still use is DVD Afficionado (dvdaf.com) and only because of their price comparison feature. Their listing system blows, though.
Hokage_Nayuki Rank : 569	Posted : 3 months, 2 weeks ago at Apr 8 11:38 - Actually an e-mail from listal has come to me so i thought let me check i out. I wonder how and why it has come to me -.-'''
