Why did you join Giant Bomb?

I joined becuase I heard news that Jeff got fired from Gamespot, and I thought it was the stupidest reason why.  So one day, I was on Kotaku and it said the Giantbomb website is now up, and I was like yipeee.  I went to the site, but nothing was there except for the Giant Bomb logo.  But I waited eagerly becuase I wanted to see what Jeff was up to, and I wanted to see this site grow and grow from the very beganing. 

"Peer pressure.

No, but I just want a place with active forums to post in, and good game information is a plus.
"

Why the heck not? 

I joined because I was a fan of these guys since they were on Gamespot, I started listening to Bombcast and it reminded me of how good the Hotspot used to be.  And this site is amazing in terms of the things you can do.  Well done guys

I got banned off GameSpot ... and I was interested in checking this place out anyway.

I was sent here from one of the staff on the site (http://xboxoz360.wordpress.com) I write for as a new site that had just popped up. Loving it so far... I'm hopefully here to contribute some work and share some of the stuff I do for the site to all you peeps :D

I followed what had happened since the incident with GS and always liked the stuff that Jeff and the others here from GS put out so thought I'd go where I can trust what comes out of the site. Plus the community and wiki-like thing is a huge plus.

I joined because this place has a lot of potential.

No reason really, i started watching the "how to build a bomb" videos so i suddenly became curious.

I'm a fan of the group that put this site together.  This site also has a very independent push which is a nice change of pace.  

"Jeff and Ryan are two hellacious dudes, and I figured it'd be fun to support their vision.
"

I joined because I've been a long time supporter of these fella's over at Gamespot... And they rock!

It was something new and most of the Gamespot community said that they would be joining it.

because i enjoy the bombcast

I wanted a great community.

Because of the people that work here.

I don't think I would've even heard of it if it was the same site but with other people working on it.

one word.

Vinnie.

cause GT is crawling with sony fanboys and in better forums,

"I joined because this place has a lot of potential.

I liked the podcast, and I found Jeff funny.

I followed the site as soon as Jeff started it, and now that the forums are up, i signed up

I love the staff, and the community and how the site works is great!

The guys at GB have a great sense of humour and the how to build a bomb videos made me laugh, plus I wanted some good gaming reviews.

It's Giant Bomb, dude, it's a given. :p

i joined giant bomb because the gamespot community doesnt feel "fresh"; mods were power crazy, people kept making the same crap threads, and... well look at it this way, it has its own system wars forum, what does that say about the community?

Yeah I've been following it since Jeff started his own blog.

I joined because I heard that Jeff Gertsman was the chief  editor, and I always loved his reviews. Gamespot was getting kinda old.

I was on Gamespot for many years and when the staff left, I followed them to their new site.

The community seems to really be coming together, and what can I say? It's a damn slick site.

I joined this site because I like it.

A friend told me to come make an account so I did D:

Been following Giant Bomb for quite some time, and I liked it since the start, so voila!

Been following Jeff Gerstmann sinse 2004

to check out what my imposter is doing.

I joined GB because I like Gerstmann, Davis and Shoemaker.

Pretty much out of loyalty to Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny. I follow the talent.

After I left Gamespot, I was looking for another site to join. I joined GameTrailers a couple months ago and then i checked GiantBomb the other day and realized it had launched so i joined. So far I can say with confidence that this will be the best game site ever. 

Because I was high at the time...

Wait this isn't GameSpot.

I joined Giant Bomb because... Dude! It has Ryan, Jeff, Brad and Vinny!

I've folled GB since its conception, I was a regular user of Gamespot but once Jeff, er.... left, I lost interest in the site, I followed jeff on his blog site just after he left and then Arrow Pointing Down came along which then evolved into the GiantBombcast and now onto this.

Because I want a bomb explode rocking my world ;)

Big supporter of Jeff. Always loved his reviews. Left GS since he left, and have been waiting for this to come online ever since.

All I expected was a regular gaming site. But the idea behind this site is pure genius. Kinda like a wikipedia for gaming, with a wicked sense of humour about itself (yes, I'm looking at you hamburger)

I wasn't planning on joining but as the guy who's in the field of coding and stuff I was extremely impressed by how well this site was coded, so I joined.

I joined because I've been a long time member (at least if since March 4 counts as long time :P) of ComicVine.com, the sister site...and I know that CV is awesome, so why wouldn't GiantBomb be? ^_~

I joined cause a lot of my friends joined.
