Maybe a thread like this has been made before, and if so, I apologize. But I am very curious-- how did you discover tv.com? Google? Someone reffered you to it?
Here's my story. My sister (about 14 years old then)??was always on the computer, and I always wondered what she did there. So one day I snuck up behind her, and quickly read the URL: www.tvtome.com. ...Then she ran after me. But anyway, I went on the site, and immediately loved its show guides. I read the episode guides, y'know, the quotes and the trivia and all that, for Code Lyoko and Teen Titans, which were the two shows I was into at the time. I always went under my sister's name. Then one day, I discovered the forums. I instantly fell in love with reading what other people-- obsessed as me-- had to say about all of the things I thought about on a daily basis. I started making a couple forum posts under my sisters name... until she caught me and screamed the crap outta me. But anyways, I realized it was high time I got??a tvtome name, and I did. But I stopped using it as often, and I soon changed it to my current one, having forgotten my old username and password.
Soooo... how'd you discover tv.com, and how'd you get into the forums?

Well, I found it accidentally by looking for Avatar episode info on Google.

I was looking for Avatar episode info on Google and popped onto this site. It seems like that didn't happen just to me, though .

A little while after Avatar first aired, I looked online for some info on it. I ended up finding the tvtome forums, and I lurked there for a while. When I finally joined, it shut down, and switched over to tv.com, so I joined up there. I wasn't active for a year, I just lurked, and one day a few months back decided to start posting. That's how I got where I am now!

I was searching up Katara and bikini on Google (ok go ahead laugh) and a link was to a post by sluggmunki_tx. This looked like a cool site so after lurking for awhile, I joined.

I dare anyone to beat this.

I was looking for quotes and episode listings for Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle. I found tvtome (what it was called then). Then found out it changed to tv.com. Then I decided to join anyways since it looked interesting.

I use to lurk around tvtome.com for a few years but then CNET bought tvtome out and turned it into TV.com so I stopped going to it due to the fact a lot of the content was gone. I choose to use my Gamespot account for this site "even though I been going to Gamefaqs since 1997 and made my first account there in 2000 for the forums." anyway to make it less convoluted here is how it went.

1997-present-Was a fan of Gamefaqs.com later made a forum account there.
Not sure really sometime before Tvtome became TV.com-Use to go to tvtome.com and post and read on the forums.
2003-CNET buys out Gamefaqs and pisses me and tons of Gamefaq users off by merging Gamespot and Gamefaqs users together.
Sometime in 2004-I make one of many gamespot accounts to get downloads from their site.
2005-CNET buys TVTome and turns it into tv.com.
I use one of my accounts from Gamespot here but hardly do anything since I am preoccupied with other places and the lack of information on TV.com is sad at best.
2006-I became more of a active member on TV.com

Google. I was searching for info on an obscure cartoon I used to watch when I was 6 or 7, and this is where I found it.

Well I was on google and I was looking for avatar stuff and they had tv.com on there. So I went to it and I loved reading the episode summaries. And I loved it because they had future episodes on here. So then I created a profile and did a whole bunch of avatar reviews. And got to level 5. And then I finally discovered the forums and tracking freinds and I have been on here non-stop since then.
