Survey: How'd you find us?

Rajio

Okay guys, in an effort to keep the site improving and keeping the community growing, I'm trying to find out about how you all use the site. The first thing I want to know is how you found your way here. How'd you find delayofgame.ca? Did someone tell you about it? Who? How did it happen?

The more information the better. Maybe I can identify ways we can draw more people and keep this community growing.

Thanks.

I found DoG either from xbox.ca...or by a link form following most of you guys on twitter...but I am sure it was xbox.ca once the "new" design hit.

AnThMaN

You sent me an invite :P I hav the link in my sig on xbox.ca

EyeOfTheHawks

I joined right when you dropped this site in beta, when that Frenchie forum mod was on the fritz

I do have that Steam group up still (waiting for the display pic still Raj). I think that may have gotten 1 or 2 members off of there. I can continue to work on that a bit, maybe do some advertising for you (non blatant, just referring to this site with links on games n such)

Lactos

Saw the link in a few peoples signatures on the xbox forums. I liked the 8-bit logo so I clicked on it.

Sinnix

I got an email from Raj and it was in his signature.

Ozzi

Raj sent me an invite

Doos

I was invited.. Hawks or Jux or Raj or someone invited me.

TimothyWedel

I was invited by @Rajio back when the site first started.

Sintacs

i think i may have got an invite or heard about it back when the site first started, came over when they pooped on the canadian xbox forums.

Juxtapose

Master Switch ran his idea past me before creating DoG, and I think I was the first member to join once he created the site.

It is a great thing that DoG was created, as it's original purpose was to allow a free community away from abusive moderation, but with the Xbox Forum redesign, this place has far exceeded it's original intentions which is a great thing.

I posted about a crappy xbox community and Switch took pity on me

TTRDrPayne

I was complaining about the mods on the XBOX.ca forums and I do believe it was you, Raj, who sent me a PM telling me to come here.

Streaker1978

I also joined by following the link in Switches sig from Xbox forums. Couldn't stand that "frenchie mod" as well cough cough ;)

GaussianMist

EyeOfTheHawks asked if I wanted to join last year sometime.

viledeception

Followed the trail from Xbox.com forums.

Switch sent me a PM being all "Oi! I'mma start this new site, wanna take part?"

I was all "Oi! That sounds like a good idea!"

And that is the story of how I became to be an original member. I don't know how quickly I put the link in my sig but I think it was rather quick.

JohnnyXeo

Rajio gave me candy.

EchoGolfSierra

who is this Candy person and are you done with her?

Rajio

Okay it sounds like most of you are coming here either via links (in sigs) or from being personally invited (admitedly by me)

this leads me to a few conclusions:

1, you people need to invite others more, if you wan the community to grow. personal invitations and links in sigs (aka endorsing the site) seems to have a lot of sway with people.

2. I need to work on getting he site linked to by other sites more. not enough people are wandering here from other sites.

If any of you have other ideas, feel free to let me know. Whenever we get new people here it stimulates conversation more so I want to keep that rolling.

EchoGolfSierra

I had DOG in my sig and actually had a few people comment on it and ask for invites here.

Then I got to thinking the site might not want to be advertised by someone like me :)

@Echo, if the republican party can be represented by wackos like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin, by all means advertise our humble little site

EchoGolfSierra

Why thank you.......hold on wait a minute......Who you calling a wacko :)

IgnitionCORE

saw some posts about it on the Xbox forums, but i don't remember who they belonged to

xxDinoSaurus

Signatures of members of the ol' xbox Canadian community. Finally checked it out one day and liked that I recognized a lot of people, so I stayed.

Was already part of the DoG Steam group. Made my way here after they killed off Xbox.ca. Noticed the site in a couple people sigs. At first, just thought this site was someone's project or hobby like most are(u know, updated 10 months ago, nobody on the forums, etc), but saw the activity and familar gamertags and signed up.

yeah thats one reason there is no 'blog' aspect to the site - i figured do one thing and do it well makes it a better site for everyone.

Rebelled asked me to join.
I still post here for some reason. Succumb to boredom, I suppose?

I mean, it's not like I play games with anyone here, or even talk to anyone here outside this site, so I'm not really sure why I still post here. =S

TTRDrPayne

I don't really talk to anyone here outside of the site or play games with anyone here either. I've just started playing AoEO with YourEscape, but thats it. Its no reason not to post on a forum. I visit a few forums, and none of them do I talk to, or play games with, anybody from the site, outside of that site.

ReclaimerM3GTR

I joined when it was first started but didnt really start posting untill a couple months ago

UF1

I was just browsing around on google and saw the site. Clicked on the link, it looked like a cool place where I could get involved in some good discussions, so I joined. :)

Smoreninja

I'm curious, what in particular were you googling?

WhorrorLoLz

2011 game delay?

game delays of 2011?

ImNotFatImFlufy

I joined up after Xbox.ca "updated" their site. It seems like the vast majority of descent people from the Canadian forums made the switch at about the same time. Great community here (and I can swear too).

Doos

Fuck yeah, you can!

Howdy, Stranger!
