I also linked through to TFP from somewhere, and started out coming here mainly for the boobies, but I quickly saw that there was alot more to this place than organized pr0n. Leaching off the community did not appeal to me, so I began to participate.
Newbie forum was my first stop, but I haven't visited there much, until now, when I don't consider myself a newbie anymore (though I may still be one
).
Very soon I began just going down the forums of interest, from General Discussion to Tilted Photography, and checking out whats new. I still do so to this day. In fact, I'm doing it now.
