How did you guys (especially the old-timers) find Newstoday / QBN ?
My answer: One night, after too much whiskey, I googled "goat fucking" and this was the first thing that came up.

no idea. i think i was at some designer's design party and someone was talking all designy about this newstoday thing.
yeah, no idea.

i had seen it before, but someone i worked with used to say how he went there all the time so i started checking it out more. never really posted anything until recently because im mindlessly bored at my new job... think his name was metrosea, dont know if that was his name on here but that was his website i think

i was formally invited. from the resignated spirit of a newstoday account. by captain barkliewicz.

I think I found nt from yayhooray or was it the other way around? Either way I think I found it off of a design portal.

I don't remember. It was a long time ago, and I was just starting high school.
Probably through Surfstation, DiK, or Australian inFront.

- I still have milk...Jaline
- hmmmm....madirish

Sherman sent me the site while I was still in school. I think the first link I clicked on was fensler films.

And, as a female just starting high school, I really couldn't care less about NT. Which is why I left for about a year and then came back.

i was on designiskinky... maybe. it was a site that had a bunch of small logos at the bottom of it in a row. i clicked a few and found NT. lurked for a little while then created a username. that username sucked and i created another. here i be.

It was a few years ago, I dont remember exactly from where but suddenly I stop by NewsToday.
I remember the little sound when you open the site like a little song newstoday, since then I've been a big fan.

^ I know. I did that just a few days ago. Here since May 2003.

DiK came first and i think someone suggested this to me because the links were updated more frequently.

I think it was through fouty.fr
...but I am not sure.

For me I think it came up (or 'off' as we say on the illustator's thread) when I apllied the google to something. I couldn't work out what was going on on Newstoday though... it made no sense to me. In the end I wrote to someone and asked how much it cost to post on it (thinking 'posting' was advertising your work) and they wrote back and said soemthing like $1300.00 for monthly access. Like a dumb fuck I thought that seemed quite reasonable for advertising globally but I didn't have the cash so I never joined in I just hovered and watched the 'ads' flicking by with immense interest.
The joke is on them though becuase now? why, I POST HERE FOR FREE!
THATS RIGHT! I DON'T PAY A DAMN THING!!!!
FUCKERS!!!!!
- +1 to whoever tricked Studio.Jaline
- Yeah, hey... your name seems suddenly familiar Jaline...Studiospooky

I can't even remember. k10k and Surfstation were my daily haunts back then so I assume thru them.
I didn't have much to say initially but slowly but surely I decided quantity over quality.
- There is more "quantity" to your posts but there is some quality in there too.Jaline
- I remember wanting the name "Jerome" it was taken ...flavorful

I would always hear the "newstoday" chime on Frost215's laptop.
