Are you new to the Suites? Maybe considering joining but not sure yet if you'll fit in, or if you'll like it here? I hope maybe this list will help. (: I asked some of our current regulars to give accounts of how they came here and what made them stay, and here they are!

This is going to look sort of awful until the guild quote glitch gets fixed. D:

Story?
I can write stories! : D

I joined the Suites back around 2004-2005-ish when I wasn't even looking for it. It had been around that time where most of the RPs that I had haunted had started to go down the tubes, and I wanted something else to do along with making some good ol' gold. I complained about it to a friend irl who played on Gaia, and she recommended that I join a guild called the Magical Poll Palace since that's where she frequented. Of course by the end of the day I couldn't remember the name of the place she had recommended so I just typed 'polls' into the guild search and looked around.
A guild titled The Big Suites of Polls caught my eye, and I couldn't help but think, "What the hek kind of name is that? I've got to look at this one."
So I looked, and tentatively put my foot in through the door. Soon after I went through a lot of emotional and physical craziness and found that if I made topics, it made me feel a little better, even when the medicine that was supposed to make me feel better was actually making me feel worse then I had before. People responded to my topics with help and support, making me smile and laugh when I thought that the entire world was crashing down on my head.
There were different people around back then, coming and going, the name has changed, and so has the leadership, but everyone here keeps me coming back for more whether it be support from my latest health escapade or just some silliness I need to get out.
So, thanks Suites! You do more then you think you do.

....Does anyone need a tissue?
XD

I found this guild somehow, and sent a join request. When I was accepted, I was nervous. I really wanted to be social on Gaia, and thought I had the best chance of that in a guild, but I had never before been able to "stick" anywhere.

I replied to other's threads only at first, trying to get a feel and to see if I'd embarrass myself like I usually do. But when I didn't, I got brave and made a thread. Since then, I feel I know the members here well, and I like to think they know me too.

I'm not the most frequent poster because of school, but I love the Suites. This guild has a perfect blend of seriousness and randomness, and also of having good friendships while still accepting new people into the mix. For the first time, I have really felt like I have a "home" on Gaia, and friends who I feel comfortable speaking with. It's just such a pleasant experience here.

Seeing as I'm really very shy, this place has made me feel comfortable enough to post. And for that, I will always remain in the Suites. heart

i was invited here like early/mid 06 or something i didnt do much on here till like late 06 i was too scared to post something on the main that i would do something n00bish and that the crew would eat my face. lol. so i stuck to the fun and games sub and i loved doing the 3 word story lol xD it was such a blast ( The 3 word story )--- after that i lost interent for awhile then when i got it back i started postin more and more. Vi was prolly one of my 1st friends on here it was pretty awesome to finally have people reconize me and actually talk to me. I invited my friend aaron too and he loves it also--- this is the only guild i really stayed active in.



Biohazardous Lollipop
Late '06 I met Lici in fishing and she told me I should join, invited me a few minutes later. BAM, Suites member. I don't remember much of my first days besides thinking this place was all that jazz, and a bag of potato chips. I eventually made my first thread about re-piercing one of my ears myself, and King actually posted in it. Totally awesome.

I don't remember much else from those days. I do, however, always remember Suites being nice to me even if I was a douchebag. I honestly can't remember ever having a problem with any members/crew/etc. back then at all. Everyone was nice to little Newbie Bio. :B <3



Reaping
Someone invited me around late 2005, but I never really bothered to check it out until around February 2007. xD But even then, I just lurked around. At first, I was just kinda shy, because everyone seemed comfortable, knew each other well, etc. :B I like coming here for the entertainment and news and stuff though~ I just wish I were more sociable--in a sense--then I'd probably be as much of a fanatic as the others. :3




Den Dristige Djevelen


I was invited when another member, the lovely [ Danger Woman ], included me on a list she made of people she thought would settle in quite well. It took me a while to realize that I would but I'm glad I did.
When I first wandered in, I wasn't entirely sure what everyone was about, and how things were run, so I just laid low for a bit. Kei, aka, No Sex For You, was the first person to say hi to me, in a thread I made announcing my presence, and after that, I started posting occasionally. I was happy to see that I was accepted quite readily, as far as I know, and no one seemed to mind the newbie sneaking into the conversation every so often.
The more I lurked, the more I came to like the Suites. I wanted to be known here, and to be as cool as the regs I was seeing. So, I started posting more and more, and getting to know some of the people I consider good friends now. According to my memory, I believe Bio was the first who seemed to be recognizing me when I popped in, and she was pretty much my first friend here.
Since then, I've become a rabid Suiter, and can't bear the thought of ever leaving.

I was randomly invited to the Suites but unlike most random invites I get it was written in proper English and actually promoted the Guild well. I think there was some flattery in there as well, which appealed to my ego.

Didn't post much at first but gradually started posting more and more. Now I check Suites when ever I log in >_>
Suites is just full of cool people with funny, interesting, raunchy threads and stories 3nodding



Homosexual Zombie
When I first came to the Suites, I didn't post much. I was a little put off by the size of the guild and such. But, I posted in one thread that ended up going for like...50 pages, just talking to a member and someone else. The Suites introduced me to my now ex husband, but I don't think badly of the Suites for it. It's still amusing to think I married a former Suitan.

I've met a few other Suitans too, and they are the awesomest people I have ever me. When I flew to California I met Akitan and Prankster, which was awesome. Best time of my life.

I ended up staying because this guild is just very fun, and goes at an easy pace now. You can make a post about just about anything and not be flamed for it (unless of course that's the intention of the post, ha ha) so you don't need to worry so much about what others might think of you.

And also, who wouldn't want to be part of a guild that has it's own Suites porn? ******** yes. Gotta be crazy NOT to stay, ha ha.



Canedo Tuxedo
I forget who invited me, but it was because I was typing literately in the Chatterbox. :]
That was back when King was the boss.
Ohhh, and the first thread I went to in here was the one where King had just changed his name to [K!ng] and was typing "th!ngs w!th exclamat!on marks !n them"

Ah, memories. :3



Annai-chansan
my sister got me in somehow...forgot how, because she said i should be in a place with actual literary conversation instead of the chatterbox. And then i kinda ignored the place for a while and then looked at it and noticed

hey! this place has lots of polls! so it took awhile for me to post here, i just spotted a topic and posted. now i try to post regularly, when i first started posting, it would be like once a month or something.

i looove suites whee

i remember when i make threads sometimes i go "no! no ones replying! and then i remember sometimes Suites is slow (in a good way smile and once it gets going it stays for a while.



de.Lici.ous
    Well xD
    I was invited here by you, Tio, soon after I joined Gaia. I remembered I'd joined Polls Galore for polling for gold, because my boyfriend at the time said you could make heaps of gold from it. The day after I requested to join there, I got an invite to come here xD I remember saying to my boyfriend, "This guild is better, it's free to join!" xD So I stuck around here. Plus everyone was super friendly. I got ignored every time I posted in Polls Galore >_>

    So yeah, I stayed because everyone was nice and I wasn't ignored xD And then like a month later I was promoted xD So I really stuck around after that ;D And you guys will be stuck with me forever now D<



Strawberry Spring
It was back when I was first getting active on Gaia, during the Trial of Ian event. As I was posting around that forum with alot of, "Wtf, Ian is innocent," I got a random PM that turned out to be an invite to "Big Suites of Polls." (This was when I barely knew anyone, except my friends from IRC who rarely logged on, so PMs from anybody were rare.) I checked it out, decided it was cool, and I joined!

I'm pretty shy, so I just lurked for a while. I discovered that most of the people here wouldn't bite my head off, and were nice, so I started posting a little.

After talking to people on the Suites IRC room, (I still miss that, wtf. xD) I began making more threads about Rally noobs, and other random thoughts that crossed my mind.

I still don't have near as many posts as most everyone else here, but if all of my posts were collected and looked through, I'm sure the majority of them would be here. x3



Fuji_hobo_jacket
I remember being invited early January 2006, accepted and forgot about it. Decided to come check this place out a week later or so, and checked out the different threads, rules, subs, etc. etc. And the first thing I noticed after that was some person going against pretty much every rule and Kyre made a thread about it and ripped them a new one. whee
At first it was just basic flaming but Kyre was very.... eloquent. In his rantings, and I thought that if he was an average of the people in the guild, I'd enjoy it. Turns out he was waaaaaaaaaay off, but I still enjoyed being here.



Deschaine
Well one of my close Gaian friend was in an avi competition when there was still and avatar forum and asked if I was in the guild and if I was could I vote for her. Well I wasn't a member so I became one cause you know that is what friends do! It turned out that the avi sub forum was awesome and I saw the createst avi's ever created come from the guild (I was a closet fan of K!ng and still am). So I decided to hang around and check out the going on of the sub-forum. Not to long after that the sub-forum was no more... so I didn't come back for a while. I don't really know what prompted me to return but I did and I haven't been able to leave since, although I don't post much everyone is super nice and the topics are always interesting to read and aid with procrastination!

Cube
I was invited randomly by the one and only Muskratio, around October of 2007. (i'm guessing, I know it was before christmas at least)
I was never in a guild during my previous 4 years of being on Gaia, so at first I just lurked, to see what it was all about. I posted every once in awhile, but never really made my own topics.
The first friend I made was Vi because she added me on msn so I talked to her on there. smile
Umm February this year was probably my peak of my time in the suites, and in my head it's when I felt like a regular, because I had a popular valentines thread playing cupid (Cube-pid) and putting together people as valentines, lol.
That's when I became friends with Frigid_Pyro999 (now Slashie Mcgee) because he ended up being my valentine somehow lol, and he became the best friend I had on the internet. And we became really close and used to drunk call each other on weekends haha. I miss it. sad and eventually he will be coming to visit me in florida!
And I was also pretty good friends with chisnax and Kisu and I miss them too!~
and then I disappeared from gaia for a while and now I'm back. xD



Superna Zherom
Well, according to my invitation, it was...in fact, Muskratio, that invited me. Way back in '06. I thought it was pretty random (because hell, I thought I was pretty inconspicuous) and almost 'eh' because people were strangely recruiting like crazy back then. So I had a bulk in my inbox.

At first, I thought I'd only join out of courtesy and never do s**t but...I couldn't help myself. People here are actually kinda cool. I'm generally a lurker...well...MOSTLY a lurker, but I'll be damned if watching the camaraderie ain't fun.



Violette PureHeart
Well, this place means a hellov alot to me, obviously.
I'm Miss Quits-then leaves-then comes back-the quits and leaves again-and comes back. >.>

I've quit crew, and quit the guild a few times because of drama and disinterest, but I always come back. This place has more than friends to me, I think you my old time friends from here more as my online family.

I can always rely on you guys to help me out when I am feeling down, or need a laugh or just a little advice. And I can always count on you guys to give me a kick in the a** when I need it. wink



Primordial Nothing
I was invited by Danjah (by way of Comfy) as part of the huge-a** list that Dris was also a part of. I mostly stayed because I couldn't come up with a reason not to, then ended up really liking a handful of people. Now you're all a part of my daily life. God knows what I'd do without the Suites. The internet would be so BORING.



The Abominable Cellist
I got a PM from... Szen? I dunno.
Anyway, I looked around and mostly the thing that made me stay was how comfortable and fun everyone was. I really related to almost everyone like immediately. : D



Amazing Afro Girl
Uhh. I originally came to the Suites through my first account, which was hacked, by invitation from Miio. I never posted or anything. My second account was when I really started to post, but I got hacked again. Now I'm here, known as Afro (I was Element Alchemist).

Now I loves to be here. <3333
I adore many people in here too. You gaiz rule.



LethallyYours
I joined The Suites (or, Big Suites of Polls as it used to be named) in 06, I believe. I was mostly a lurker until the Gaiaversary of this place where I decided to actually get into this place and start posting like mad. I won the silly dice rolling game and making a ton of friends. And then I kept posting more and more and became pretty good friends with Comfy, Kiri, Pain, etc. I've taken a couple breaks, but this place has always been a home to me, through all the change and all the people.

Aww... This has made me re-remember how much a love and missed you guys. <3



Maze
I got an invite from Lici. I PM'd her, asking why she invited me and warned her I might not stick around, even though I joined to have a look. Or maybe I didn't join right away, but just read threads..

I quickly realised how much my Common Sense was required and ignored tradition which stated you made a 'Hi, I'm new!' thread and just started posting in other people's threads and hitting them with the Hammer.

To be honest, I've never not felt welcome here.

I tend to check this place at least once a day, although with my training, that's not always possible. I'm falling asleep again as we speak, so this is my first and last post of the day, hehe..



Renard Muldrake
Well Senor Musk you invited me here, not long ago actually. I assume because you felt some kind of kinship, or because I'm absolutely marvelous, or because you were bored & I was there, or possibly accidentally. Any-who I mosied on over within a few hours figured I was too good to introduce myself & started butting in on other people's conversations.



The Pimp Mobile

I first came because of a friend invite.
I was hesitant at first (for a few months xD) because I thought the people here would be exclusive, but I realized how open and awesome and fun these people are.
And even though most of them don't know me and I don't know most of them, I love them all the same.
:3
The Suites to me became a place to laugh with others, be silly, and read peoples problems and help out any way a can.
Kind of like a group of friends I don't know.
