When/How did you find Listal?

One of my friends at school made me join in April of last year. I think the 24th.
And I quit, then came back.

i was bored so i did searches and found it

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.

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 found it in september I was randomly searching the internet for a report about the japanese god of death Yama and ended up finding kinookami (Yama's url)

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.

Ana, Ina, and Aya made me....-.-

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).

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....

It's the theme song of one of the characters... who drinks ridiculous amounts of coffee. Additionally it's my ringtone.

omg phoenix right guy the one with the vizier on his head.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Dang!... We should have a section for Listal romances! :P

Listal has changed my life! It allowed me to meet the most awesome woman EVER!! :) Thanks for the congrats.

Fancy party and free booze? Count me in!

i found it threw tom on myspace and my friend told me about it
