How did you find APF?
« on: July 10, 2012, 09:26:35 PM »
I'm curious.

If we didn't recruit you early on, how did you find us?

NSFGE post.  Yeah it was a recruiting post and I just followed my fellow NS4ites but so what?  I never claimed to be a leader ;)

Dale posted a link to APF in a confirmation email.

Thanks Dale.

I just tried to retrace my steps and what I think is that I ended up at moviepostersuthenticating.com and allposterforum.com is first on the list under open forums...

I think I was drunk and went to the wrong forum.

Got here from NS4 too. I recall trying to figure out what the hell "APF" meant, thinking it was the shortened form of a film title (like YOLT for You only live...)  eyeroll

I was actually looking for porn, but somehow stumbled upon this site and never left.

Saw a message posted at MPF from someone informing an MPF member about APF.

Google,
At first I joined MPF and APF at the same time,but noticed all the action was happening here so I stayed.
In two years I think have logged into MPF twice.
I then joined NS4 whilst reading about it here,but sadly have not spent as much time as I should have there.

I was over at MPF for nearly two years before APF started.  I stopped posting for a bit over the holidays (end of 2009) and when I came back I had just acquired a really obscure 1910s Italian poster that I had some questions about.  I posted over at MPF and got nothing but crickets.  Then I got a PM from none other than "Douchebag" Cochran, inviting me over to APF saying I might get a better response there...

I decided to do a test. I would post my questions on both forums and see which got more responses and better answers:

First thread on APF: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,256.msg2277.html
Last thread on MPF: http://www.movieposterforum.com/index.php?/topic/31254-is-this-mary-pickford/page__hl__pickford

The rest as they say is history.

I was on CHFB, but apart from that never really bothered with Forums. Until One day I was looking for some prices of posters and this place came up, so I thought I would join. It was so good I joined Mopo and MPF a few days later...  I think I've about 28 posts on MPF in coming up 3 years, which just goes to show how good this place is. I though the others would be good also, but I was Sooo wrong...

This place has some great Members, and is run by two Jollyfine fellows, and long may they do so.
It's more than a Hobby...
