What Pushed You Over The Edge?

[ricco67]

When I joined up (before the crash) I was curious what was happening with the Superbowl. I think it was Junction Jack (May god burn his soul) said something on another thread that made me post.

[Mark F. Barnes]

Was looking for stuff involving Playland Park Speedway, and wound up here. Have never regretted it for a minute.

[crunchtastic]

While I thank you for accomodating some of us with the last option, I can truthfully say that my first time was really just asking a question.

[sevfiv]

I know I first came here because of the Central Bank thread started by squatterkid. I actually didn't search for it, but a friend gave me the link.

First posting, though, was about the Towers Motel on Holcombe...

[Pumapayam]

Wanted to add to the conversation I was interested in - Subruban Nation.

That is also how I found the site.

[lockmat]

I think I found it by searching for Houston architecture. Browsed a little, forgot about the site and refound it like a year later.

I was looking for a particular porn site, and I typed in the wrong URL and got this place by mistake. So, I thought that as long as I was here, . . . . . .

Only you would come up with that, :lol:

I was looking for a particular porn site,

That is the best one yet! ...Like Milton Berle said, I gotta write that one down.

I was the accidental tourist (and I do mean that) was searching for Historical Houston Mansions photos, tripped and fell on Haif World. Being naive, never imagined some could take this forum sooooo personal and get vicious. It truly becomes the "Children's Hour" at times. If only the "YOU" this and that would go away. So unnecessary. For the most part the fun ones keep it light hearted and contribute fantastic fact and pics and especially the great stories of growing up in Houston. We are the world...we are the children

I was looking for information on the Sakowitz family, and BOOM, here you all were, desperately needing my input to further your educations.

[Fringe]

A friend sent me the link for the HA Historic Houston forum. Since I had lived in H town for over 50 years he knew I would love it. I had questions about old Houston and a few comments. I was viewing that site for 6 months before I branched out and discovered the other forums here. Now I'm hooked for good.

[Jax]

I think I actually wanted to post a photo somewhere, and ask a question about what was being built in my neighborhood.

TheMILF.com... TheHAIF.com... it's an honest typo.

[Mark F. Barnes]

On a QWERTY keyboard that's a stretch.......... or course with H2B hunt and pecking with one and on the keyboard and one hand god knows where, you never know. Besides I am sure his vision was both impaired because he misplaced his reading glasses and blue tinted at the time.... :lol:

as far as i can tell most of us passed the 6th grade. where do you come in again?

You too, huh?

[20thStDad]

For some reason I was searching for when Chili's in Sawyer Heights would be opening (I hate Chili's, was searching on the wife's behalf), ironically that was the least interesting thing I have read here so far. I got hooked on reading about the neighborhood histories, building and improvement projects, and most of all the amusing banter all throughout.

[Vertigo58]

Couldn't agree more! Ja ja!

Plus the historical Houston photo contributions.

[Trae]

I was looking for something with a project I had to do for school. Really don't remember.

[dbigtex56]

I stumbled across HAIF while looking for info about the light rail.

My first post addressed the issue of cars parking across sidewalks (a pet peeve of mine.)

[JLWM8609]

For me, it was a combination of wanting to both ask a question and respond to a thread, which concidentally happened exactly one year ago today (well, technically yesterday since it's after midnight). You guys must not be all that bad if I made it through a year.

[houstonmacbro]

I think I just like to interact with people and be a part of something. I don't have a ton of 'friends' or feel part of a 'community' anywhere else, so HAIF(ers) is (are) kinda like one big ole neighborhood for me.

[Don Julio]

The Historic Houston section attracted me to this site. It's still the only one I look at, except this one (occasionally).

[NenaE]

Wanted to get answers to architecture questions I had, at the time they were about Glenbrook Valley.

[houstonmacbro]

Can't remember... basically I think I wanted to connect with people ... without really ... you know, connecting...

[Hanuman]

I came here to look at all the users names, and try to figure out what made them choose that name, and why they came here, and why they post what they post....well,

not really. I came here to find a girl to go out with.... oh well....

Oh, you used to live in that apartment complex on W 16, huh?

Then you went to Pie in the Sky...

[Montrose1100]

I was browsing Skyscrapers.com before it went all corporate, stumbled on SSP, and eventually found HAIF (in the same day I think). I was like "Whoa... another interest on the internet other then pron?" I was hooked.
