Just a random noob post, was reading channel 4 teletext Gamecentral page 305-309 and in the mail section someone had written in about David "Marshmallow" Gibbons and how he completed Half Life 2 in under 2h 15. A little advertising for SpeedDemosArchive.com id say :) . The guy who has the Metal Gear Solid 2 record, Adnan Kauser, wrote in about his records a while back and directed viewers to the site. I found the elite because of him, so it got me thinking, how did people find The Elite? Was it random browsing, someone told you, advertised someplace?

You were probably searching for Doncaster Rovers, and found our message board because someone called them gay.

I can't remember how I found this board. Probably from another board. Even then I knew about it but that was a long time ago. So I don't remember. >_>

Mistyped 'fatest times' and came across jimbo.

But really, me and my friend used to see if we could complete dam agent under 1min, and when we finally did we google'd to see if anyone else had - and then found this site |I
