Why UO Forums? the environment here is amazing. Everyone here is basically treated equal no matter what UO walk of life they choose. We dont have a negative envrionment here which is what keeping me coming back and will stay til the doors close up on me!
How did you find UO Forums? They blocked stratics at work, so I typed in UO forums on a search engine, then I found Tuk's site and linked here, and been here ever since!
So, what's next in real life? I'm in Qatar until March-ish, so I dont know what I'm gonna do after that. Maybe go back home and get a job on my old base as a GS position.

Why UO Forums? After the MYUO forums I gravitated to UOForums and Ianstorm. The folks here at UOForums strive to make the site a pleasant atmosphere to engage in discussion. I had total burnout from the ranting at MYUO and Stratics over the years.
How did you find UO Forums? As an old MYUO Mod, I had checked into a number of fan sites to keep up with the overall pulse of the game and it's players.
So, what's next in real life? Not sure?!?! Seriously, our "kids" are trained, outfitted and prepped for life as best we could. That has had our total attention for almost our whole married life, so we're looking at saving for vacations and trips we could never afford before. Should be interesting to say the least. As Bilbo said, "I think we're ready for another adventure!"

How did you find UO Forums? My boyfriend introduced me to UO when we started going out, and I started looking for info about it in the net. I probably found UO Forums by googling, and lurked for a long time. I kept coming back because my bf kept asking me to see if there's anything new in the game that he's been missing because he doesn't like to read forums. Until, one day I decided to register.
So, what's next in real life? Not sure, I try not to think about the future that much.

Why UO Forums? Community, Community, Community!!
How did you find UO Forums? Not sure. Maybe it found me; and glad it did!
So, what's next in real life? Enjoy doing as much as I can in the UO Community. I seem to be filled with so many ideas, and so little time to do them or offer them. So I follow my nose in UO and hope a few people like my ideas from time to time. That's what motivates me in this part of my life. Things down the road, well, the road is as wide as the horizon.
