Title: How did you find us?
Post by: sully! on January 04, 2010, 08:15:43 AM: I've often wondered how new people discover us and which of our methods of promoting ourselves is most effective. So if you've been here for 6+ years like myself or even if you're just now discovering FITES, vote in the poll above and let us know. We're always looking to grow and by knowing which methods work and which don't we can hopefully get better results in the future from our "marketing" efforts.

Thank you,

FITES Staff

Post by: -Sp()()ge- on January 04, 2010, 08:58:04 AM: Dave told me about it after the "GALT" Lan group was scrambling for a building and losing steam. Never looked back since.

Post by: Agent4054 on January 04, 2010, 10:04:36 AM: I honestly can't remember how I found it. It was back in September of '03, and I was fresh out of high school. I think I found it through http://www.lanpartymap.com/ (http://www.lanpartymap.com/) because I had just bought a new case from Xoxide around that time.

Post by: _!Rathe!_ on January 04, 2010, 10:09:28 AM: Some of the guys at FiTHLan had mentioned going to Fites LANs and then Pride asked me to come down and help out with the big LAN in 2006. Have been hanging around ever since.

Czar.....you do know that circle jerks are not considered a LAN party....that's a MAN party. I think you might be confused. ;P

All I am going to say is Drunk Man in Kilt and Viking Helmet being attacked by a Pterodactyl... yes that happened at a FITES LAN...

Post by: Agent4054 on January 05, 2010, 09:00:21 AM: Case in point.

Post by: decepticon on January 05, 2010, 10:41:04 AM: I am only going to ask once....Broken, is there a photoshopped Goatse on the left side of your sig image?
Title: Re: How did you find us?
Post by: Broken on January 05, 2010, 11:23:46 AM: not 100% on Goatse... but I am a Moralist... Apparently...

Post by: The Shoctor on January 05, 2010, 05:38:57 PM: I found out from word of mouth. My buddy Red worked with Kev... My first LAN was at the Auction House!
Title: Re: How did you find us?
Post by: The Nstuff on January 06, 2010, 06:35:29 PM: Heard from KOS, or more specifically, Own3r back in late 2005 or early 2006. There's a bunch of gamers where we work and we would all get together to be one of the first to register for the large Fites LANs. After the first big Lan, I started going to the monthlies. The rest is history.

Post by: Czar on January 21, 2010, 08:45:50 AM: Excellent decision! We look forward to see ya at the lan!
