Heard about it on YouTube. Was watching Metal Jesus and he did a video about great ways to keep up with your collection. One of the sites he talked about was VGCollect. I had been looking for a fun and easy way to keep up with my collection for some time.

Same here.  ;D

My buddy disgaeniac told me about it. While he's known as disgaeniac here, I know him as darkrpger on GameFAQs.com. We go way back, and one day he informed me of all this site had to offer. Eventually I popped in to check it out and...the rest is history! I've met some lovely people on here. What I like most about this website (besides cataloguing) is that everyone here is so respectful unlike 99% of the other internet forums.

In the very beginning, back when the site was still in beta, Matt made a post on DigitalPress. I decided to check it out and I was hooked. Not long after, he made me the first staff member.

I found it once I installed the app on my phone. I was trying to remember what games I had and sometimes I forget what I have and don't have. so thats why I got the app and then discovered there is a forum years later...And I only post every now and then.

I believe Kitsune Sniper/foxhack posted a link to here in a DP topic.
Like, I made the account back when the site first went public and then didn't really post anything until recently.

... I think matt or scott made the first post about it at DP. I don't recall doing anything to promote the site other than my signature.

I was searching the web looking for more people to worship all that is the SOERA. I noticed a lot of names here who were not on my follower list and decided this was the place to take over the world. Domination is imminent!

I can not remember the exact place i found VGCollect, but i was searching the web for large video game collections and came across a thread that had a few pics of and made mentions to TheFlea's large collection and this site, so i joined up.

i had started listing my games in excel and then a guy i went to school with posted his games on facebook with a like to a site. i went to check it out and it only had modern games.
i didnt think to look online before.
then i googled video game database. loved this one the second i saw it.

I was performing a google search for game collection websites. Somehow after sifting through Google results I found one hit for this site. Immediately I knew this was the ultimate collecting site and have never looked for another.

I was using excel for making my game lists, and I  didn't think it was working too well. So, after some google searching, and multiple failed attempts to sign up here, I finally broke through and made my  collecting database home here.

That may have been me. I seem to recall posting a link when someone asked about different ways to catalog collections.
