OK, this is something of an informal poll, mostly because it's not a real poll, and that's because sane, thinking people don't let me initiate polls.

I'm curious, if you joined MyFico Forums in 2009, or if you first started posted here in 2009, what motivated you to join or start posting?

A) Experian's decision to stop selling you your FICO score

B) The economy and economic news

C) Banking and mortgage meltdown (more specific version of B)

D) Improving personal financial situation (bought or buying a house or vehicle, paid or paying off debt, etc.)

E) Declining personal financial situation (BK, foreclosure, collections, etc.)

F) Nunya bidniz

G) Other
