I can't really remember, it was ages ago. I think I was working part time in a bike shop and someone mentioned it, there were only a couple of hundred members then.

I did it because I'm a conformist and all my friends who were MTBers were always raving about this site, so i just HAD to find out what all the fuss was about....i now am a senior member, whilst many of them are still futile MEMBERS...

not that theres anything wrong with that

I know why Manson_Biker joined farkin... Funny story really. Anybody remember? It was the funniest thing I had ever seen on Farkin. :D

hilarious.... thanks for that, I don't Farkinate as much as I used to, and almost missed it.

I joined way back in 2003... phpBB forum code (that did some odd things on occasion), no advertising, a higher rate of newbies with a grasp of English :p

probably mostly because of the Watering Hole, and the opportunity to sit around and discuss things/kill time with other riders.

Cheers to everyone who keeps the place afloat.

I joined the site when I was in search of a hardtail, then I started reading threads, and became addicted. :p

Yeah, yeah... blah, blah.
It was years ago. I was totally new to the whole interernet, webbie thingo and thought Farkin was a chat room to pick up young boys. I also thought the user name Grip would be a good one to get across exactly what I was offering and wanting.

When I discovered it was a mountain bike site, well Fark me, you could have knocked me over with a pair of frilly knickers, but what was I to do then? No choice but to cover my tracks by starting a MTB business around my Farkin user name and hope no one ever noticed.

I think I may have got away with it. The truth is I hate bikes.

Why did i join? Messing around in computers in school one day when a mate told me about a funny video on farkin (didnt even know that it existed until this stage). only way i could see it was by joining. so I did:D

ps. first time I tried to get here I typed in farkin.COM which is incidentally a porn site (not good with a computers teacher staring over your shoulder).

Someone mentioned it to me in late 03'. From then on i scanned the forums and it became an everyday occurance after school. Then I decided to join..I think I was scared at first to post!

I found my way here after reading a magazine- AMB I believe it was... Truth be told I had already been riding years, but new to the net at home- I though what not; an Aussie forum would be cool.. And well it is and I believe Frakin.net is the biggest!
