We all know that GB is a great site but how did you find out about it?
i found out when my friend told me about it
How did you find out about GB
A little over a year ago(when Jeff got fired from GameSpot) he made a blog. About a month after he was fired, he said he was starting GiantBomb in that blog. I was sold instantly. Then when he said Ryan and Brad were gonna be a part of it, I was totally psyched, because they were 3 of my 4 favorite people from GameSpot(Rich Gallup is one of them). Been here since day one.

Ditto.
I followed Jeff and the guys on GameSpot, and then when he got fired I kept up with him on his blog, and then when he announced this place I started visiting the GB blog religiously, and when the main site launched I started following the main site religiously. And here I am 4,119 forum posts and 13,689 wiki points later.
I've respected Jeff's opinion for years now, and after the whole GS thing, I followed up the blog he made and eventually it blossomed into GiantBomb.
There is already a topic on this, but oh well. I actually found out about it on Jeff's wikipedia page
I had an big operation done on my spine when Jeff and crew left Gamespot, so when I came back I was all what the fuck....
I read something on penny arcade about the whole Jeff/Gamespot/Kane&Lynch thing, and decided to look it up on wikipedia, and there it said something about the new site. This was back before the official launch, when it was still in blog form. So glad I was in a curious mood that day.

Too bad the trolls and fanboys are starting to find this site though. E3 really brought them out. They're not that hard to spot, too. They have 0 contribution points and their Sign Up date was in the past few months. Wish the mods would work harder to control them so we regulars can keep our great, fanboy/troll free community we've grown to love.
It's starting to remind me of Kotaku in 2007.
I was a fan of Jeff and the dudes back at Gamestop, then Gerstmann Gate happenned and I just heard that Jeff had a personal blog and bookmarked it, it changed overtime, and Giantbomb was built.

I found it on a blog post Jeff made on his GS profile after the culling. Been checking out the blog until it became GB.

Wikipedia, thats right, i had been on gamespot for a few months and im like, "Where did that Alex Navarro guy go?" and "What happened to the gerstmann dude?" so i looked up the company on Wikipedia, read about gerstmanngate, started hating Gamespot, then clicked on the link to to Giant Bomb (Then in blog form) and was impressed. Did not know who brad and vinny were until later though.

When all the drama went down over at Gamespot.com, Jeff posted/blogged about 'GiantBomb.. and the rest is history =)~
Found out on GS when this was still a blog, I didn't follow it until July 21st of last year when it fully opened.
I found out after gamespot suspended me for effin posting on game threads. Then after quitting I looked for good website. Then I found a youtube video called "What is giant bomb?" And I saw Jeff there. And I thought. "Hells yeah!"
I was there on Gamespot when Jeff was fired, and immediately followed his blog. He announced GB then, and they launched that blog-ish GB. I've been following since, listening to every podcast (since the days of arrow pointing down).
