How did you find TF?

Well I go here from.... well actually I don't remember I think I saw a link from a graphic site... not sure though.

I found TF from a link from Talk-PHP

I got an email from Robson.
At first I thought it was some spam mail but I checked the link out and saw that it was an actual forum so I joined up because I liked the discussions that go on here

I got spammed as well/.

Spam works? I will have to remember that...(joke)

It came up in Google - I can't remember what term I was searching for, but it was a good find.

There is a big differene between spam and invites (same principle as gmail invites or viavites in essence) I believe if you have a good enough product and can actually offer the person you're contacting something of interest to them then no harm done.

Creating bulk e-mail lists and sending the same messages over and over again is a different matter altogether though! Generally speaking, If i'm browsing the net and come across a designer I like or someone with a large amount of knowledge I contact them and "invite" them to talkfreelance, 90% of the people I have invited thank me.

Very interesting to see people are actually coming here through google! What term did you search for? Also, Never thought my campaign at tutorialman.com had any effect at all, good to know! Keep the replies coming everyone, very helpful for me (in terms of advertising methods)

I got here through one of Robsons personal invites.

As I have been getting tired of some of the snobby designers at some other forums I thought i'd check this out.

Hey Julian, what other forums do you visit on a regular (day to day) basis? I know you're a fan of sitepoint (as am I) any others?
