How did you find this forum?

This is an old, old thread but I thought it was a goodie! I was wondering how the forum started, whether there was a group to begin with that knew each other and it just grew or what.

Anyway back to topic, I found the forum by googling, this one was the top link, and although I did have a lurk around the others, I really liked the feel of this one, it took me about two weeks to actually join and say hello though!!

I'm soooo happy I did, I feel so at home here and feel like I've made some really good friendships, even though my initial aim was to just pump you for answers!!!

I first found this link on the WOCS (Origin Publish. co.) site, where I'm a member. Now, I just remembered the name and came back ot it.

Which issue was it featured in? I think I'd quite like to read that!

I remeber when the post came up that we had gotten a mention. There was quite a lot of buzz for a bit and then it went away. I am so glad so many of the current members found us because of that article. It has improved our board with their entry.

We got a mention in - Issue 186 of Cross Stitcher magazine - out Friday 30 March. Cross Stitch Forum was one of two 'top websites for chat'.
The other site was 'Cyberstitchers', which I had never heard of.

I was just loooking around crossstitch sites when I came across this one and found everyone so friendly and inviting I stayed.

rose: you've never heard of cyberstitchers?

It's like a bible to some people; I always go there for conversions, tips, and the freebies.

Me too for Cross Stitcher Magazine

I think I first heard about Cyberstitchers there too and that is also on my 'daily check' list, which is getting ever longer

I'd never heard of Cyberstitchers before this thread!

I'm tempted to have a look, but I already spend too much time on this forum, myspace and my hubby's West Ham forum (I'm a mod!! *puffs out chest proudly!!*) so I don't want to get too interested!!
