    My first forum that I visited (and ade some newbie mistakes that I woun't bother to share) was the JCC. I really can't recall a first impression, at least distinctly. I thought some of the mods who I now look up to were rather mean. ;) Kinda weird actually.

    I?ve seen you up many a thread recently, Mr. Knightwriter [face_mischief]. What do you have to say in your defence?

    My first thought when I saw JC? Big. Enormously big. I stayed in Fan Fiction for a long time until I discovered other forums. Despite visiting places like the YJCC, Amp, etc, I?ve never really migrated from Fan Fiction. When I was a newbie, I respected the mods greatly and even feared troubling them with my little problems. I can guarantee that my views have changed so much in the past two years and a half ;).

    Am [face_love]

    My first impression?

    "My god, this is HUGE!" :p

    Then, I went to my country board and I began to met people. Not too much time ago I decided to forget my problems with written english and go outside, it was fantastic :D.


    And now I'm here, and that's the most important ;)

    I usually came here and read people's posts. Then I decided to join. I didn't think it was this huge.

    I was also surprised at how many females were here. [face_shocked]

    Another post brought to you by SecondBest :cool:

    I'd been coming to The Force.net for years, but I'd never known there were message boards! I honestly don't remember how I found my way here but once I found this place, I was terrified to post (I'm a natural born lurker). I just read and read and read...seems like any and all topics concerning SW had already been discussed anyway :) A while after I'd been here, I finally noticed YJCC...omg! Talk about addicting ;) . Then after that, I found the 'Welcome' boards...the last one! :D I kinda wish I would've found this forum first, you guys need like a huge banner ad or something :p

    My first impression of the JC was:

    Oh my God!! This is awesome!!

    Then I went to the Europe boards , met people that I really like , and later, I went to a lot of boards that some people told me that are goods.. and was that!! :D

    I still thinking that JC is amazing! ;)

    Well, I think the first place I explored in depth was the fan fiction. I was really impressed by that section. Then, somewhere around the same time I discovered the Shaving Habits thread in the OT forum, and nearly injured myself laughing. 8-} My overall impression was of a huge, mostly warm and friendly community that didn't take itself too seriously.

    I honestly don't remember what I first thought of the JC. It was 4.5 years ago, and thanks to television, I can't remember what happened ten minutes ago.

    My first impressions...I liked it since the first day!!!! :D

    I started lurking,but it only took me a few days to login...First I started posting in the Spanish board,where I met lots of helpful people,among them Pirry...He soon became my adopter and introduced me to lots of fantastic people... [face_love]

    Now I almost live here,especially in the FanFiction boards...And I'm lovin' it!!!

    My first impressions... I joined about six or seven hours ago, having spent the previous 6 or 7 hours reading threads, and I don't think I'm going to get any sleep. Until May 2005. It's HUGE! Also very welcoming - thanks :)

    *feels a warm glow of contentment*

    Oh, tough not to flame people who think Boba's gonna kill Mace Windu in epIII, but I can do polite

    "I thought some of the mods who I now look up to were rather mean."

    Mods are mean. Its one of the requirements for being one.

    Shapeless Priest's first immpression of the JC: "Whao, this place is big."

    My first impression was.

    'Look at the size of that thing!'

    But seriously, it just came across as a really geniune and friendly place. I'd been reading the posts for some time but only actually registered at the begining of the year.

    The first impression you get is how warm and friendly everyone is. As soon as you post your introductory thread everyone comes to visit and welcome you which is really cool.

    And then I guess you start to explore from then on in. There's so much to check out that even now after a month I still feel that I've bearly scratched the surface and that there's a lot more to this place.

    It's vast, a bit intimidating, mildly confusing, and mostly addictive. Lots of fun though.

    Hope to make lots of good friends.
    May the Force be with you.

    I found the link to the TFN main page from upcomingmovies.com around November of '02. In Feb. 03, I made a username, but never posted with it. I lost the entire site then found it again in June 2003. Then I made an excellent discovery... the 3SA. Thus, war_monger was born. My first impression was mostly "Damn. I thought I was the biggest SW freak around." Then I found the excellence of the rest of the JC, and I've been hooked ever since. :)

    My first impression of the JC was how it was vast, sprawling, utopia of fellow Star Wars geeks! :DThe place that I have been seeking my entire life!

    A place were any question imaginable pertaining to Star Wars could be answered on a whim. I was a little mind-boggling at first considering there is so many different forums. ;)

    I found my niche in a few particular threads right away so it was difficult to fit in and start to get to know people.
