Pure luck !
I was bored that day at work (beginning of December 2000), so I launched my favourite Copernic search engine and made a search for "Baldur's Gate II" ... and I got a HUGE heap of URLs. So I just closed my eyes and pointed my mouse at random on the list and clicked ! And I ended in the Ironworks home page. So I had a look at the page, and then saw "Forum". Thought in my head "Go see or not ? Nay, I know how all those forums are, just a bunch of male teenagers talking boring stuff like 'Is this sword +4 better that that sword +3 but with special powers ?'" As if ennemies would just sit and have a cup of tea waiting for you to choose the best weapon ! But I was still bored, so .. I clicked ! I was amazed at how many replies the topics got, but stayed a lurker for some time - until some guy asked "Hey ! Are we playing BGII by fear of real life?". I SO did not agree, I replied ... That guy was Yorick, BTW.
