What originally brought you to Zug and/or Gab/Live? What kept you here once you stumbled in?
Originally I found Zug looking for funny horoscopes. Google opened the door to my Gab/Live addiction! The horoscopes are longer a part of Zug (I think they ran for years and John probably ran out of content for them), but I am.
What kept me here is this article by Joe PeaColeridge.

I think yahoo used to have some sort of function where you could search for links by categories. I was looking for humor, and this was one of the links. I loved John's articles, and went through a lot of the archives just reading them. It was months before I signed up for GAB because I was confused by the whole pee tube thing. Then it was a couple weeks before I posted because I was intimidated.

I actually think I originally came here because my friend told me about the tollbooth prank. Mind you, that was when I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL. Back then, you didn't have to register to comment on stuff, so I said something on some capcon, received abuse, got sad, and left. A few years later, I stumbled back for more abuse, except this time I was 18, so I registered. So... I came for the oranges, I stayed for the abuse.

I was cyber-stalking my on-again-off-again boyfriend.
We were off shortly before I started posting here, but I was at his house one night because I have low self-esteem. I was in bed and he was on the computer. He has Shakespearety eyesight so his screen size is really enlarged, and I could see what he was looking at from across the room.
I woke up and looked over to see why the Frost he was on the computer instead of in bed with me. I saw the ZUG logo and the cute little icons and I was intrigued--then I went back to sleep.
A few days later, I was back at my house and decided to see what ZUG was. I lurked for a while to see what he was doing, but then I registered and started posting. My goal became getting more clickies than he did, which I easily achieved because I'm much funnier than he is.
He didn't know who I was for a few months. I finally told him next time I was at his house and saw him looking at my profile (again, when I was in bed and he was on the computer--WTF is his problem, anyway?) Apparently, he was curious about "Millie" because she said she liked bald Jewish guys. He didn't put two and two together--dumbass.
We posted here without anyone knowing we were a couple (well, kind of a couple) for almost a year until ZUG10. Even though we showed up together and were staying in the same room, some people still didn't figure out we were a couple.
Now, he has been gone for at least a year and I'm still here.

I was bored during my work study in college. I google searched "bored at work" (because I'm all creative and junk) and that led me to www.boredatwork.com. At the time of this particular search, the Credit Card Prank had been recently posted so it was near the top. I read it and decided to see what other articles their were. P-P-P-Powerbook! is still my all-time favorite article on this site; I'm still wondering if Jeff is okay.
Ultimately what made me stay was I wanted to rate somebody's post one day and I couldn't do that without signing up. Now that I was enrolled, I figured why not poke around and see what this place is all about. Took me about an day to realize it was pretty much just about poop.

I can't remember exactly how I stumbled across this site. I know it happened during the long hours I was bored fixing people's computers as a work-study in IT during college.
Several people have mentioned the powerbook prank; I think I remember seeing that on SomethingAwful and then maybe somehow getting over here but I could just be getting confused.
One of the earliest stories I remember really laughing at concerned a guy farting in a coffee can and tricking his roommate into taking a nice whiff. It's much much less funny when I describe it that way. I can't seem to find it.
I also remember the Joe PeaColeridge Walmart prank early on. Good times.

I was trying to find office pranks that were quick (ie: not costing $5000 and an entire weekend of work, like some of the recent prank suggestions) and found the printer pranks. I don't know if they're even around anymore.
I stayed because I read John's pranks: the tollbooth pranks, Powerbook prank, credit card pranks, etc... Those were and still are my favorite thing abou ZUG.
Eventually I found GAB and stuck around there because I developed an obsessive crush on a GABber. I don't recall which GABber it was first, but it changed a few times over the years. Most of them eventually faded away. (The crushes, not the GABbers.)
Except for the crush I have on you-know-who; that's as bad as ever.

One night back in 2006 I was out of weed really bored. So I Googled the word comedy. ZUG was one of the sites that popped up, I clicked on the link and have been a GAB addict ever since. Even though I went over a year without signing on, I still masturbated thinking about GAB every night.
Things changed a little over that year I was away.
Pram went from being the most hated GABber to being one of the most loved.
Whistler went from being an old fife player to being an old GAY fife player.
Taco is still hot, but now I'm convinced she has a penis. Most likely bigger then mine.
Millie went from an old black lady who likes to make cookies to a not so old MILF who likes to make cookies.
Finally GAB lost a little of it's edge trying to appease nOObs. As I say, Frost the nOObs, Frost them right in thier nOObie faces.

I first found zug when I was in the navy. I had put on about 20 pounds after my knee injury, and was looking into colonics to help me lose some puffiness around the belly area.
I found John's colon cleanse prank, laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants at work, and then joined. I lurked for about a month, and then one sad, drunken day, made my first post and linked to my MySpace page all in one day.
Chickens said something about puppies, and dinesh mentioned lechery, and I knew I had found a new home.
I stay for the constant verbal abuse and jokes about bad mistakes I've made, even if I've learned to let them go. I know I can count on all of you to make sure I never forget!
I love this site.
