    Well I was having trouble on The Challenge, and I didn't have anyone to speak to so one of the high up people of NCS sent me a link to TheSite and I joined :)

    I stumbled upon it while roaming google for support! :heart:

    My ex used it and linked me to it one day

    A friend of mine linked me to it. I was 15 and I think we (or rather, I) were having some issues. He suggested that maybe I should TS and ask for advice. He did originally introduce me to another website; but said here was maybe more age appropriate.

    I was wading through Google trying to find somewhere to get advice from real people. I found TS chat and ended up sticking around on the boards. :)

    If I remember rightly, I was on google searching for info/advice on a particular subject and came across TheSite :)

    This is a really nice thread to resurrect - would be interested to hear how other folks found us... :)

    I joined to support someone who has since left, but decided to stay because I needed advice and support and wanted to help others. Doing that, it helped me. :)

    It's great to see the range of ways people found out about the site! I personally found out through work, because it's always cool to get involved with new communities! :)

    Too long ago to remember - though I know it was discussion on the drugs board that attracted me. The drugs forum used to be really lively with a good bunch of people.

    On a poster at our local youth group.

    i was already heavily based around childine and kooth and a few anxiety forums and i just wanted to help more, but i also discovered some support and most importantly group chats so it became one of my most used ones :) x
