How Did You Find The UMA?

[Scary Terry]

I joined when it was the Yahoo group, but can't remember how I got there...

Same for me!

Many of you know as a construction worker I have alot of time on my hands (especially in this economy) and discovered the site during one of my many winter lay offs.  As I recall it was thru Yahoo Groups, during the transition period into the incarnation we now know as the UMA.  I think I may have signed up at the Yahoo Group but never really posted or even checked the site because I never cared for Yahoos set up.  Even if I'm not posting I'm always reading and admiring everyone's posts, collections, artwork and model build ups....Keep them all coming!

The Google got me and showed me the Yahoo group. I've been hanging on for dear life ever since. I'm sure glad I was pointed in this direction.

I found you through a Google Image search on Colin Clive.  I saw one of Meek's sketches, and was moved by it.  Somehow the  thread led to Max's blog, and then I found my way home to UMA.

This is truly the home of ALL monsterkids...

Gosh I would love to say I Just Apparated to this spot or had a sack put over my head and was shanghaied to the local recruitment center for UMA but alas...that wouldn't be true. No, my story is simple. I found UMA via reading an article on Scarlet Street #3 (about Linda Miller) and that lead me to the Drunken Severed Head blog site (hullo Max!) where I found the link to UMA. Interesting how another UMA member was led here in almost the same way! Oooooo! Elisabeth...maybe we were BOTH placed under some hypnotic spell! Boy, folks sure go to great or should I say -ahem!- abby normal lengths to recruit bodies to UMA! Boowahaha! ANYhoo, I am glad to be in such an illustrious army! Ten' hut!

I find it very nice, thank you!

Basically, googled "Universal Monsters", and kept seeing the UMA pop up.  Not being a big forum guy, I put it off for quite awhile, before lurking about for a month or two.  For my birthday in May of '08, I finally joined, and humans have been trying to get me to shut up ever since,  !

Ah, I remember it well. It was Feb. 2003 and I was searching through Yahoo! Groups for monster groups to join. I joined a few of them, but the UMA is the only one I stuck with.

July 2009 I was Googling for a Bela Lugosi mask, and was directed to UMA....Still don't have a Lugosi mask, but am a UMA lifer!

I had just been introduced to yahoo groups due to searching for sites where fans of my favorite music groups congregated, and did a search on Universal Monsters and for some odd reason was led to this group.

Strange, ain't it....

I had just bought a house and had a room for a Man Cave, decided to do a monster man cave, So I googled monster rooms and landed here... and I stayed for the all the cool creative people involved in monster collecting.

 I can't remember exactly, a link at Yahoo Horrorhosts or the Classic Horror Film Board, I believe.  But all you guys and gals are awesome!  I've gained a TON of knowledge and made some new friends.  Thank you General and other founding members for the UMA!

[LaettnersLegacy]

was searching Yahoo for Universal Monsters.

I'm a Monster Kid...from the 80's. I never saw them in theaters. but watched with fondness on VHS. when I found this site I was instantly in love

[Moonshadow]

Well, it wasn't that long ago, but my memory isn't clear. I think I was searching "Universal Monsters", as I was having a revival of interest in the monsters of my youth, after reading some articles about Marvel horror comics. I also found the Classic Horror board at the same time, but I have yet to join up there. The group of people over here just seemed so friendly I decided to start posting.

How did I find you all?  I bought a Mini Monster after seeing them in a book about Ideal dolls (sorry guys I know they're action figures) and I found one on ebay and bought him.  I was looking for information about them and I found you.  I started reading posts and I found that I had a lot of common interests.  I allowed my geeky nerd side to come out and here I was.  A new home.
