I am a member of Livejournal.com, and there was a community there that was in the “community spotlight” section, which participated in swapping. I read about that community, which is not affiliated with swap-bot, but saw that due to them being featured for the week, hundreds of people had joined that community, and that they were’nt able to take new members because of the huge response.
So, I went to google.com and searched for terms like swapping and pen pals, and that’s where i found swapbot! I’ve been here for almost two years and i’m having a great time! I’m even starting to introduce friends and family to swap bot (my mom is now hooked! you can find her here as beancounter17).

I participated in an ATC swap for Project Spectrum. It was being hosted on swap-bot to handle the logistics. Originally I just did the PS ATC swaps, but then I wanted a venue for creating/swapping more ATCs, so I started signing up for more swaps!

I was pulling extra hours at my old job when an old co-worker of mine told me she was writing journals and such and swapping them on Swap-bot. She asked me if I liked arts and crafts which I do so at work in between service calls she helped me set up my account and got me acquainted with the site. I’ve had nothing but fun fun fun ever since.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some swap-bot swag.

Hi,
my user name is xine and I stumbled upon swap-bot whilst looking for unusually flavored crisps, I was trying to look for a website with a list of unusual crisp flavors that I wanted to share with a friend, I forgot the name of the site and I googled unusual crisp flavors and that led me to swap-bot, that serendipitous event has brought me joy from meeting swap-friends, assembling/receiving fun parcels and dirty looks from my weighing scale.

Last summer I “StumbledUpon” Postcrossing.com and got hooked on collecting and trading postcards. Members are limited on the number of postcards they can have circulating at any one time so I started Googling for other venues for swapping cards. That’s how I came across Swap-Bot. I still mostly swap postcards but am getting into other things as well. I’m addicted to this site!!!
crescendo on 11 Mar 2009 at 4:31 pm #
Hi,”crescendo” here. As I recall, last fall I was Googling for “winter solstice” and one of the hits was for a swap on swap-bot, and the rest is history.

I was on myspace when I read Sacred Yoli’s blog. She was putting together a guerilla style act of kindness swap. I am very taken by her and the Crafty Chica and I heard they roamed around swap-bot SO being the curious person I am, I browsed swap-bot. That was back in September 2008 and I haven’t looked back nor have I regretted it.

How did I find out about Swap-bot? I have been involved with Swap-bot for quite awhile now and I am not totally sure about how I found out about Swap-bot, but I am pretty sure I found out by “word of mouth.” I was doing a few swaps through another site and was expressing how much fun and enjoyment I was getting out of the swaps and one of the woman I was swapping with, shared with me about Swap-bot and thought I might enjoy it as well. She gave me the website and I went exploring, tried out a few swaps and I was hooked.

I found out about Swap-bot through a friend on Live Journal. I had mentioned that I was making ATCs but didn’t know what to do with them and she told me about this site.
After having several Yahoo groups I was in get deleted and a couple of communities on Live Journal die, I was happy to find a site that allowed me to do all kinds of swaps without a small group of people controlling all the swaps. If those people lose interest, then the whole group/community dies which is unfair to the other involved. And that’s why I love Swap-bot, because anyone can start a swap.

I’m on a german site called wer-kennt-wen (I think it’s the german equivalent of myspace) and joined an ATC group as the first member, so the founder and I got a bit of one-on-one chat. She told me about swap-bot, I checked it out and quickly became an addict. It’s now open on my PC ALL the time and other stuff gets done on seperate browser windows so I can click back and forth frequently and check for updates. Now I just gotta find that lady HERE LOL.

I found Swap-Bot after reading an article on inchies in Somerset Studio. My local stores all contained swaps that I needed to create a dozen identical pcs and items that were too “new”. Somerset was more my style. Low and behold I found the ‘bot and the rest is swapping addiction history.

I first heard about Swap Bot on another forum called Diabetes Daily. I am diabetic and a diabetes care worker on the forum started a great swap called “Thriving with Diabetes.” I joined Swap Bot because the swap seemed so fun and I’d never heard of a website like Swap Bot before at the time. Now I’m completely hooked. I’ve joined many other swaps and I even started one.

I saw the last 5 seconds of a craft show where they showed an ATC and the words Swap.bot. I logged on, and was hooked. I’ve been swapping since. I’m not even sure who was the feature artist but she said she had traded about 5,000 ATCs. What big shoes to fill…

I first heard of the bot when I did a swap on the site purple,pink and orange( forgive me if I didn’t write that in the correct order)
They used swap bot to co ordinate the swap.
I just stayed and never did go back to the other site.
I am one of the first 500 members=o)

I was signed off work for 5 months, and was making all these crafts at home, and I thought there must be somewhere that you can chat and make friends with other crafty people so i typed in swapping crafts and you came up now I spend approximately 3-5 hours a day on the site. I love it you made recovering from my illness a whole lot better, and now that I am off sick again with something different, I have Swap-bot to see me through the days and nights. God Bless Swap-Bot

I found out about Swap-bot from my daughter. She was getting all this stuff in the mail and I questioned her about it. She was vague, so I kept questioning. I checked out the website, and saw that she was under age for swapping!!! So, I reported her to Rachael, and asked to create my own account with the same addy. I helped my daughter fulfill her obligations, then I jumped right in!!! This is my sanity

I actually ran across Swap-bot in 2007 (found an old email) - the first thing I tried to join was a recipe swap and was dropped because I didn’t have a full profile. I didn’t understand that I needed to put more than just my name and email. Anyway, I came across Swap-bot again just last November and have been hooked since. I have a full profile now

My friend Dena got me seriously addicted to this site.
We are in a small town that has no red lights and 1 gas station.
I believe that she and I single handedly keep our post office supported in postage. They are no longer surprised at what we send and what we receive. Especially naked mail.
Thanks swap-bot for raising the eyebrows of our stern and emotionless postmaster.

Ooh! I love to share the story of how I found swap-bot! I’d been searching the web for a crochet pattern. Someone had asked me about making them some “soakers” for cloth diapers (I didn’t even know what those were till I started looking around!). Anyway, somehow I ended up at a swap-bot member’s blog, momwithahook. She didn’t have a soaker pattern, but she did have some pictures of absolutely adorable crocheted stuffies that she’d made for a swap-bot swap. I just had to see what that cuteness was about, clicked a link, and I was hooked! :o)

Robin Rodgers on 30 Mar 2009 at 2:59 pm #
Wow, were to begin. I ran into the site of Swap-bot over two years ago on doing a search for swaps. The word swaps will take you to alot of places not just here if you know what I mean LoL. I clicked on the site link which had brought me to the main site, and just by seeing all the neat projects that everyone had completed was enough for me to venture on in. That was the first thing that peeked my senses. Then when it said it was a free membership then that really was awesome. I figured if I didn’t like it I would drop out gracefully. Well as you might have guessed it, that was all it took for me to get hooked on this site. many awesome projects and the next best thing to having a real family and a family of wonderful swappers to share my love of crafting, swapping and sewing. What more could I ask for, nothing absolutely nothing LoL

I know that she’s crafty so I thought she’d made them all. Then she explained that she got them through swap-bot (she had mentioned it before). After that I went to the website and I have been hooked ever since. I hope to have a blast swapping!!

I used to swap on a site sponsored by PaperCrafts magazine (it has since been absorbed into another site). A newbie posted on the message board asking what the various swap acronyms stood for, i.e. ATC, FB, HTH, etc. One of them was asking what swap-bot stood for. Since I’d been swapping there for about three years and that was a new one on me, I did a Google search … the rest is swap history.

I used to belong to a Yahoo group called PaganATCs and one of the swappers there told me about Swap-bot. It sounded like such a neat idea, to swap stuff with people all over the world. I started out small, with just ATC swaps, but I made so many wonderful friends that I ended up swapping all sorts of stuff! I joined in September of 2007, and have created my own groups, led more swaps that I can remember and have gotten to see the world through the eyes and creative hands of my swap partners. What else can I say? I am now officially a Swap-addict, having to check in at “The ‘bot” AT LEAST twice a day! blessings, Gypsy

I first heard about it on a stitching forum as they ran the swaps through swap-bot, I haven’t been to the stitching forum in ages but I am seriously hooked here

I can’t remember how I first found out about swap-bot, but it was either through etsy, flickr, or perhaps a link on a site for swapping kids clothing/items. Whichever one it was, I’m glad I found SB!!! I’ve had a blast sending and receiving packages. Thanks!

I found out about Swap-Bot from a seller on Etsy named Jaravee. I’m very happy to have found it though because I love swapping things with people. =D

I heard about swap-bot from a freind that swaps on swap-bot.I think it’s a great place to meet new freinds. I also attended the event in Eugene, Oregon. That was alot of fun. Finally got to meet the names with the faces. I am seriously hooked on swap-bot!.Debbie(qbee)

I don’t even remember how I found Swap-bot at the first time. I just did, some years ago. The idea intrigued me, but I let it be. Then I found S-b again in January when looking for something else. I tried swapping and got hooked right away

I heard about swap-bot for the first time on Craftster.org. It was in a bunch of peoples signatures and when I mentioned doing smaller swaps, someone said I should check this site out. Then I got addicted =]

I was clicking around at work because I was bored and came across this site. It looked so fun! I read the forums, looked at the swaps and after a few days I signed up. That was about a year and a half ago. I’ve gone through stages with tons of swaps and stages with only one or two private swaps, but I always come back to read the forums!
