how did we meet?

Sometimes I see you guys and I think "Ah, sarka, I met her through Harry Potter originally" or "Ah, nverland, I met you through LOTR-RPS." But some of you, I have no idea how we first hooked up.

Maybe you are so new I don't know you very well yet, or maybe you are a many years old LJ-friend and I just can't remmeber our initial point of connection.

Help me out? I'm in a nosy/curious mood. :)

Also, HELP - does anyone else use LJ Archive? I've used it every week to back up my LJ (which is the *only* place my fic lives) for the last few years, and two weeks ago it simply stopped working. I can't figure out if it's on my end, Livejournal's end, or LJ Archive. Anyone?

Or, alternately, anyone got a different program that they use to back up their LJ? I'm open to new suggestions if I can't get LJ Archive to work...
