How did you discover OOT?
I imagine most of us started here perusing the poker strategy forums. I read/posted in micro & multi for 4 months, knowing nothing of OOT until I stumbled upon a post by SossMan. My work production has fallen off gradually ever since.
Edit: stupid clean link this post |
Re: How did you discover OOT?
back around april or may of 2004. I use to post frequently in MTT before OTT was created, then posted in both. Got bored by some of the stubborness there( I learned a lot too) then for some reason decided to check out Other Topics. The first two posts I remember were about Tupac and about Israel-Palestenian relations.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
it was wayyyy too cluttered with conspiracy theories and left vs. right battles though, hence the politics forum's creation.
i go over there occasionally.. you know, just for laughs. |

I rue that day...

Re: How did you discover OOT?
I read micro until i realized everyone in a poker forum in condesending (sp?) as hell, so i came here for the rich dialogue and the intelligent conversations.I also frequent the politics forum for some quiet, controlled debate.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
When they split up OT into OOT I thought I'd have a look and it proved to be a monumental waste of time, so I stayed.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
I did not discover OOT, OOT discovered me.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
cnfzzed posted in small stakes, (or maybe it was bakku?) to go read the guy on tilt avatar thread. (lost bet with clarkmeister). I really haven't left since. And I still love it here (though it sucks compared to this winter).
And "Having my first period" is by far and away the best location ever on these boards. |

It's all Toro's fault.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
It just drew me like a moth to a flame. Since discovering oot, I have actually started playing poker.
<font color="white"> Yes. I am kidding. </font> <font color="white"> I don't actually play poker. </font> <font color="white"> Okay. i was kidding about that. I played poker before finding oot. </font> |

Home Poker (building my first table) to Omaha/8 (preferred game) to OOT.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
Not sure, but am pretty confident alcohol was to blame.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
During the whole Alizee thing, I inquired to istewart what his avatar is and he told me to get in the OOT to find out. I didn't know what the OOT was, so I asked BobboFitos what it was and he told me. I haven't left yet.

Re: How did you discover OOT?
Do you really have to "discover" a forum on a site you already read?
I think my answer is either A- "the sidebar" or B- this thread should die. |
Re: How did you discover OOT?
No idea, but I used to post a lot in B&M and Poker Theory, now I rarely ever post oustide of OOT.
Strangely, I was in a large downswing when I started getting addicted to 2+2, and the downswing has ended since I switched from real forums to OOT. |
Re: How did you discover OOT?
As Dynasty said earlier, there used to be an OT (Other Topics) forum that consisted of mostly politics or sports. The wierd stuff was being posted in the Zoo (Internet Gambling). About the time that OT was split into Politics and OOT, the Zoo was going thru a rough phase, and most of the idiots (myself included) migrated to here.
Now, the wierd stuff is here, and the Zoo is mostly about bonuses, answering the "is on-line poker rigged" question, and pattern maps. |
Re: How did you discover OOT?
By using that scroll thingy on the right, and clicking on Other Other Topics.

Freak accident!

Re: How did you discover OOT?
I was reading the poker strategy forums because I sucked at poker, and wanted to improve my game. I saw occasional posts about "the zoo" and "OOT" and about how the people in those forums were like the black sheep of 2+2. So I investigated, and got sucked in. Now, I only come to 2+2 to lurk in the zoo and OOT, don't read the strategy forums anymore, and my poker game sucks again.
