I was stuck on a quest in RuneScape (:D) and after hours of pain and torture, I Googled for help. That's how I came across the RuneScape wiki.

* several months pass*

By this time I was quite an avid signature creator on the RSW. Then, the sig request page gets a post from this user, saying that he would like a signature on "another wiki". I replied on his talk page, asking what wiki it was. I was pointed to the Nitrome wiki, and I got here and made him a tablet signature. This was back in the days when everyone had box signatures, which were quite chunky, mind you. I then noticed how horrible the signature system was on this wiki - in fact, some of you may remember my very] [[Forum:Templated_sigs|first proposals on this wiki, which I made soon after getting here (have a read of them and you might spot the seed which would eventually grow into my extreme obsession with common sense :D). I created the signature policy page soon afterwards, and (unwillingly) converted the signature style from box to tablet. And since I got so involved with the wiki due to the forum proposals, I decided to stay :D

Moral: if you want new users to come, make sure your policies are crap, so they can fix them.
