When and how did you you people hear about this site? Was it through somebody talking about it on another forum? Are you a terrorist googling giant bombs and found this awesome site by mistake? Or do you stalk Jeff every night and look through his bedroom window and see him working on this new site?

Personally I heard about it on a certain website that will not be named here due to betrayal. A lot of people are leaving that website for this one, so let's not worry about it.

I was curious to see what happened to Jeff months after the GameSpot incident.  So I checked his Wikipedia page and found this lovely abode.

I, by chance, managed to find a listing for Giantbomb in the iTunes store, and then downloaded the first podcast, which led me to this site.

I found it by watching G4 at random. I am pretty sure Jeff came on Xplay or something like that and announced the site. There were only like...two Bombcasts up at that point so I caught up on all the podcasts and followed the site since.

Once I caught wind of the whole Gamespot debacle, I quickly found Jeff's blog. Sometime down the road, he announced it on his blog. And that's the story of me finding Giantbomb. Enchanting, I know.

I actually don't remember. It was when the blog form launched. I bookmarked it and have been following Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny ever since.

I can see that's how most people came to the site.

One day I was flying around on my magic dragon/unicorn hybrid, when I came across these internets. My "Unigon" said 'Hey, why not look for porn with bombs in it? No, giant bombs!"

Needless to say, I was a little bit disappointed.
