    Should I be concerned that, based on what alexa.com says, most people get sent to DLP through "necrophilia" searches in the last 3 months?

    And apparently, the "value" as a site is only about five thousand dollars.

    People use toolbars besides the absolute defaults?

    There may be some evidence of this.

    Personally, I searched for the AFC after someone mentioned it in their A/N on FFN. The first two results yielded by Google Search led me to these here forums.

    Pretty much this. I vaguely remember reading about the site in the AN of a few fics and getting curious, but it's so vague that I can't be sure if it's selective memory or whatever the term is for remembering what you want to.

    Ha. I saw DLP referenced in some A/Ns and author profiles, then saw the "most recent posts" list on the lower right-hand side of Patronus Charm when I found that site. I thought for the longest time that DLP was just full of bitching and being assholes about stuff, then I wandered over (after seeing an interesting thread title on PC) and found that my assumption was pretty much spot-on... :awesome:

    I just typed "Dresden Files Discussion" into Google.

    My life hasn't been my own ever since.

    Joe brought me here as a member, but originally it was my love of Dark Arts fics at 14.

    First read about it either through Joe or Swim (don't remember which story I read first, both were in first five anyways). Not sure what eventually prompted me to actually go look, though.

    Started lurking in... August(?) of 2010.

    Totally derailed thread, lol. But yeah, I think I might have been searching for updates on Tinn Tam's stories, back in 2006. I really really liked The Song Of The Trees, probably the first good story I read.

    Or it could have been some other author's homepage, but if that's the case, I don't remember who.
