How did you find Omnimaga?
« on: March 13, 2010, 11:51:45 am »
With the recent surge in new members, I started to wonder how everyone is finding Omnimaga.  Basically this is just a spot to put how you found Omnimaga.  I'll start: :D

I found Omnimaga when I was looking for info on Builderboy's Portal 2.  I saw Omnimaga was a neat site and started checking it on a weekly basis.  Then I started checking more frequently, and eventually I made an account.  Now I'm here to stay. ;D

Anyone else want to share some memories? :)

I found Omnimaga while on the tibasicdev website's forum a while back. I finally got around to making an account recently :)

Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC

Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Well I found it a couple times looking for games but never joined or really looked around. Then someone made a post about Axe Parser over at UTI and I looked a little more. Then you, ztrumpet, made some comment about Illusiat and I checked it out further and decided to join :D

I found it back in 07 or 08 or some time around then from tifreak's website. Maybe it was 06... I can't remember (possibly 05? nah, I haven't been programming that long).

I don't remember


j/k :P

But there is something funny: When Omnimaga was revived near the end of Summer 2008, the re-opening was never announced anywhere on TI forums. Yet, back then, we still managed to have higher activity than United-TI sometimes. On top of that, back then, we didn't have TI-Boy SE and the Nspire was not cracked yet, not to mention the site wasnt very high in Google rankings. My guess is that people probably found the site via UTI or TIBD links in old posts and old members were probably checking if it was re-opened every now and then.

Now I am curious how people find us, though, since it has been 1.5 years since we re-opened.

@trevmeister66 I think it was November 2006

Man time sure has flown.

And yes, I found Omnimaga after the re-opening simply because of pure luck. I had accidently typed "o" for my first letter in my browser, and omnimaga automatically came up, and I hit enter, not realizing I had mispelled my URL, and it showed that Omnimaga was back, and I was like... SWEET!

Let's see... first time I found the place was near the end of the forum system we used before Zetaboards. I was googling TI-basic stuff to learn how to program and the place came up. Stalked a bit. Joined with a crappy version of Nyaar as my first project, got a bit of support, and stayed around (although not hugely active) until I got on one day to see Omnimaga was down for good.

Well, at that point I just kept coding and stayed away from the community. Then, one day for no reason at all, I typed "omnimaga.org" into my address bar to see what would happen and this place came up. So... I joined, kept working, became staff, became admin, went back to staff, and here I am. =)

One major issue about Omnimaga resurection is that the majority of members who were still active at the time only used MSN to chat. Not long before the shut down, my MSN got phished and I lost my entire buddy list. With the board shut down, I lost even more contact info, so basically, no way to warn the old members it's back. x.x

I was a frequent member at TiBD.  The creator Burr invited me over there after he saw some of my games on TiCalc.  I spent some time there until I was invited to Omnimaga by Noahbaby.  I saw how Omnimaga was more oriented towards games and I jumped at the opportunity!  A little while later I became staff, and here I am :D

I don't really remember how or when I found Omnimaga but I've known about it for years. All I remember is that I was convinced to join Omni's IRC channel a while back and from there I eventually took a leap and joined the fora/forums. However, I initially signed up as "Sephiran".

I got recommened by someone on Cemetech (sorry I forgot who, I accidently deleted the PM)  I was working on a programming GUI (which I still work on from time to time).  Anyways, I made an account and am here to stay :)
