Title: Where did you find us?
Post by: Simon on January 07, 2007, 10:23
This is particularly for newer members, but anyone can join in.  To see how well we are doing on Google, etc, and to see if we can perhaps widen our profile on the Internet, it would be interesting to establish where people are finding us.  Did you find us on a search engine?  If so, what search criteria (i.e. words or phrases) did you use?  Did you find a link to us elsewhere, on another forum, perhaps?  Were you introduced by another member of PC Pals?  However you found PC Pals, we would like to know, so please post a reply to this thread.  We hope you find PC Pals a useful, and friendly place to be, and we thank you for any contribution you make to the forum.

:welcome:

Clive sent me the URL of PC-Pals plus a large amount of money in a big brown envelope.  I really should have known better, because the time before that, he said I would find pictures of naked birds if I went here (http://www.rspb.org.uk/).  :(

I expect he couldn't find an envelope big enough to fit a sheep into, Lona.  (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Fsheepshag.gif&hash=0bba4f12e458839edf05e4fc4e830d61f9c423ea)

I got kicked of as lona many years ago.  I've been kicked off of better places though so it doesn't bother me (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.v-rodforums.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fteu26.gif&hash=61874646b270c146b721a73f8b4c90f414665610)
