I am a little curious about how is our club getting new members; a poll is the best way to summarize it, and if you want to share a story about it we will be happy to read it ;)

In my case I found the club while planning to create something similar :D, browsing some clubs. It was during its beginning and Geisha was working alone so I jumped in and offered some help. It feels like such a distant memory now! And I am so happy seeing what we have done ;)

I found it through Manga club relations.

I was looking at Haru Wo Daiteita to see if anyone has already started a club for it and I found this club, glad I did :)

It's been so long that I don't remember how :O Maybe by seeing the club relation on Kyuuso's MAL page. Clicked to the "last" comments--looks like Queen and I joined around the same time.

Other (explain please)

Seemed like the only answer I could give here. :)

I just recently remembered the moment when I created the club. I had been playing with that idea (or similar ideas) for a long while ... almost half a year or so and then just in the last week of January I had decided to it. I thought about what exactly for a few days and then I made it. I remember that moment very well, wenn I entered the completely empty club page the first time being the only "member", started to write up some of the ideas, started adding the first mangas, anime and characters (gone now). I would never have thought it possible that it could become what it is today ... but then it would never be that without the incredible help from the admins and the input from the members. So, thanks to everybody!

I don't remember what manga it was that I was looking at, but I was looking at the recent forum entries when I glanced down at the clubs. At the time I hadn't read that much yaoi, but the title of this club piqued my interest.

There were certain yaois that I just hadn't enjoyed and I didn't really know why. When I read this club's description, I paused for a second and thought, "You know what? I totally agree," and I joined the club.

I'm so glad I did, too, because it's helped me find a plethora of yaoi with which to waste my time. :)

I came across the club pretty early on, first week I think, the club had less than 10 or 20 members and Geisha was alone compiling the relations lists. I think I PMed her with a suggestion for an add.. maybe Tyrant?

A few times I've been asked about manga suggestions, and at some point I started sending them here because when it comes to helping find new reads, this place is the best!

I was typing a manga into google to find others like it. This club came up in the search, it had everything I was looking for and I think couple of days later I joined MAL and this was the first club I joined. I am really glad I joined this club I love it!.

lol @ BLINDING CAPS Apparently they were effective?

I also think I was looking for a BL club that wasn't either dead or overrun with squeeeeing 12 year olds, so this made me happy.

Urhmm yeah, apparently it did. Second was the title :p

Hahahahahah...I guess we have to thank Geisha for that. Like a totally serious acronym brand name..and then you see the title XD.

I wasn't aware of that until you said it...since I never got into any of those clubs I didn't realize how great it is not having that. It is ok to squee...but not that much..

I believe I found the club while looking for a club for (un-girly ukes/manly ukes/etc) All because my best friend who is my BL guru but refuses to get on MAL; kept telling me about yaoi with girly ukes and it's just not my thing at all.

I'm so glad I found this club if I ever need something new to read it's the first place I go.

I found this club in someone's signature at Aarin. I actually had started an anti-doe-eyed uke social group there awhile back because I can't stand that kind of stuff, so I HAD to check this out. It's very useful for finding manga, etc. Thanks for all your work :)

Back when I was on LJ there was a community called 'yaoi_daily' and I read a vast amount of yaoi manga really quickly and for a long time. (Currently updating my list so excuse the spam :P) I always kind of despised really 'girly-uke' at least drawing wise, (personality was okay, but if the eyes were 2x bigger than the seme I already dropped it), I didn't even really want to do personality, but at the time everyone was only posting super girly ukes! I had thought for a while that I was the only one that was really into seme x seme personality/looks!

I'm so glad I found this comm! I can't wait to hear all the great recommendations :D

I remember reading the club's title and thinking "finally someone agrees!" And not just someone, but an entire club!
