GTPlanet is a pretty large site with thousands of members. For most people, this site is probably their original GT "home." However, others have migrated here from other sites for various reasons. Some of us come from established sites that went wrong, some are from ghost towns, and others are just complete nomads, wandering the GT community.
So are you from? And why did we come here?

To start off, I come from a site called GT3Times, which has changed its name to GTTimes in recent years. It is hard to believe I originally joined GTTimes when I was just an early teen, looking for info on GT3's cars. However, I immediately discovered the times database the site was known for, and I was hooked. I ended up being a 'Timer' for 7 years. The site attracted a fairly large membership, however, not nearly as large as the membership GTPlanet has today. Peculiarly, most of the site's members had the same weird sense of humour. This resulted in the most awesome user challenges ever created and some hilarious discussions. I cannot imagine how many noobs we scared off with our humour, telling people how to get rocket cars in GT3 through chantings and laying blue eggs. Undoubtedly some of those poor individuals are now here on GTPlanet, and want to kick my butt now that I said that, LMAO.
All seemed right with the Timers, we had some of the fastest drivers around, some of the most knowledgeable people around, and certainly the most hilarious. But then, the site started dying off. The GT4Times Database never came, there was an invasion of spiderbots and spammers, for a long time new members could not join due to bugs, and even if they could, they were scared off by the ramblings of the resident lunatic, jbschumacher, also known as "Lightning."
The site turned into a ghost town, with the only active thread being "What are the watching?", where Lord and Master bobkart posts images of movie cases. *shakes head*
So that is how I came here. It's a good place to post, but still doesn't quite match the glory days of my home board. I'm interested to hear others' stories as well. The GoldJunkies, the Racing-Liners, the GTXers and various others.
