I used to visit the warrioircats.com site to play the games all the time
Then one day I noticed the post about the forums going up soon and got like, infinitesimally excited I could talk to other fans, because none of my IRL friends appreciated the series at the time
My bout of inactivity started around high school age, when I got too busy with life to really visit anymore. Then when I was going through a mini life crises 2 winters ago, I re-remembered Warriors in general and somehow stumbled back on to the forums/later the WCRP ones when the old ones shut down for good.

I accidentally stumbled upon the forums in 2014, and just kinda lurked. I'd stalk it every day and read all of the rants posted in The Cats. Now that I think about it, that was weird.
It took me an entire year to build up the courage to create an account.

I don't remember much actually. I think I was just browsing through sites and videos and I found out there was a forum. Decided to make an account and that's where my life started to end.

I found it through the main website, which I found on the back covers of the Warriors books. It was the second forum site I've ever joined.

I found the warrior cat forums sometime in 2011, I think, by being curious about the scrolling names at the top of the warrior cats website. I wanted to join very badly, but since I must have been ten at the time, my parents didn't want me to join, but I could lurk around. I lurked on the forums for many months until the fanatic challenge started up, and I really, really wanted to play, so my parents let me join. I was eleven at the time. The rules were "just do the fanatic challenge" and as you've probably guessed I did not do that. I won the fanatic challenge, proceeded to brag about it on the OOTS forum, and then when people (understandably) got mad at me I slunk off to the fanfiction forum and made some friends there. The rest is history.

They had art tutorials on the main site so that's what I used it for. Found the forums through there. i originally found the main site by looking up the book samples they had there.

Lurked the old site since 2012, and I joined in 2016.

We suspected that an official forum was coming since I believe there was an ad in the Bluestar's Prophecy Browse Inside, or maybe it was on HarperCollins Catalogs.
At the time in mid-2009, I had a series of sites that I'd check multiple times daily. At the time, warriorcats.com was still getting updated pretty regularly and would in fact be the first place to post something new on occasion. One morning they had a little star in the corner of the site, and I announced it to Warrior's Wish and signed up. I was the 80-somethingth person to register an account on the day they opened - somewhere between 100 and 110 overall on the member list since there were some created before they officially opened.

I think I must have found it in 2010 (late) or 2011 (early), thanks to finally noticing that there was a little link in the corner to this place that the fan could talk. It was the first ever forums I'd ever looked at and I was surprised at all the stuff you could do on it. I lerked for year, then finally joined in 2012. I didn't do very much, and only hung out in fan fictions. I left in late 2012 for personal reasons, later to come back in 2013. At that point, I still read a lot of things in fan fictions, but posted more in Warriors Misc. In late 2013, I came back to the WFF and I've never left. One of the things I wanted when I joined the forums was to get, even a little, well known in fan fictions. I thought it would be for writing. Turned out, I became more know for as being a fan than a writer. To this day, I still read almost everything posted in the WFF and will offer detailed opinions on it.

I stalked the official forums for a while, then eventually just decided to create an account. Surprisingly compared to most people on the internet, I didn't lie about my age.

I found the books in 2011 and then read the back of the book about the forums. I signed up early 2012 and it was downhill from there. My 11 year old self was very excited and I got my mother to sign the paper saying I could have an account and I mailed it in and waited a month and logged on one day.

Basically I was a lurker when the era of TheRealJayfeather on OOTS was going on. I screenshoted the whole thing but I think I lost it when I broke the laptop. Then I came on as littlefoot but I couldn't post because back then it took forever for your posts to get processed and then put up. Then I came on as Powerpelt after faxing the mods my moms signature (I was like 11 so underage) By then the forums were better though. Eventually after the forums shut down I did not come to these forums because I expected lawlessness without the mods. Kinda like after the Revolution there was a period of near anarchy. But people have seemed to have settled for the most part so after I came to revisit old comics I decided to stay.

I believe I originally joined as Feathertail1000. Then I realized I didn't know how the hell to use that site and left it. I remade an account called AquaThePiplup, and have been active since. Was inspired by Moth's rants a lot and I made my own, mostly defending cats to see the "better side of them", like Dovewing. I don't do it as often now since I am slowly losing interest in Warriors, but I still enjoy being on this site.

In 2010 I found it when I finally looked up warriors one day. I scrolled through it and got excited. I proceeded to make Hollyleaf;) and made a complete prat of myself on the oots forum by starting flame wars, spamming, making stupid rants, acting in a way that would be considered homophobic when it was more hetero-normative, being an elitest about shipping, just generally thinking I was right about everything, writing rants with no structure to the point I don't know how anyone understood me, and using improper grammar because I still hadn't fully kicked the dyslexia and was too lazy to type properly. I was just kind of the worst. but hey I hated ashfur before hating ashfur was cool. And this did force me to kick the dyslexia. Now I annoy everyone by complaining about how Ivypool is ****. Glad I'm not the only one who trolls people for liking Ivypool, lol. It's funny how people are so defensive of her.

I believe I found them on the official website. The ad being in the books probably pointed me to it.
All I know is I made like 5 accounts in the first month.

I found it in 2011, when a girl at lunch who also read Warriors saw me with the book and told me about the forums, and pointed at the site on the back of the cover. She also gave me her user, but I don't remember ever finding her on there.
