So far, a landslide.  I expected it to be the most common especially from those of us who have been on for more than a couple of years.  But I am surprised that there are not more newbies" who heard about it from word of mouth as Tom said.

And ranfordfan, I am serious about inviting another Oilers fan to the club...yes I was "kidding" about the rest.

I was looking for a card set and found this after I Googled it. 

I can't remember how I first heard about the site.  I joined in 2011 and may have done a few things.  About a year ago I started working on scanning my Russ Davis and Andrew Shaw collections.  Got a comment on a thread something to the effect of I was a problem because I'd signed up years prior but wasn't active.  That, combined about how an admin approached an Andrew Shaw card concern rubbed me the wrong way and I wasn't active.

As I got more into the blogging world, I saw more and more mention of trades that occurred through here.  I told a co-worker who has just recently gotten back into collecting about it, though I wasn't very active.  He signed up, entered his collection and was getting trade offers almost immediately.  That caught my interest so I started adding earlier this week and have already made a trade.  

Billy Kingsley always talks fondly of the site and some bloggers use it, so I'm giving it a whirl.  Hopefully I won't get any smug comments this go-around that cause me to check out.  

Happy collecting!

I remember I was searching google attempting to identify a card. Came back several times as a guest before I created an account.

The actual search lingo I used was "online baseball card database" Guess what site came up first?

Searching for checklist. So 2

2.  Trying to identify a hated error card, if I recall.  I was manually making excel checklists of a then-small collection.  Once I realized the site would track my collection, FOR FREE, I dumped the spreadsheet idea, got what remained of my old original collection out of storage, and have been moderately active ever since.  Though parallels and variations make me mad and caused me to quit tracking my collection, it's still my most-visited website.  I can say that there are two members, who don't use the forums, who are here due to my word of mouth.

I know there's at least one member who does not use the forum who has joined because of me, and is in the top 10 most cards in collection as well. There's another active member who I also talked into joining but I'm sure he'll comment later.

I can't remember what I was looking for or why, but I' sure I stumbled across the site while searching for infomation about something card related. Whenever I'm searching for images of cards, this site always shows up in the results.
