I'm not sure if a thread like this has been done, even if so, I think it'd be cool to do an updated one. So basically, how did you come across this board? Was there a specific score you were looking for and you stumbled upon the forum? Or for those who were around before the internet era, how did you find out about film score monthly?
I know for me, my love for soundtracks started when I was a little kid. I would hum the Back to the Future theme song, Indiana Jones, James Bond, etc a lot. Coming out of High School I started collecting all of the Bond soundtracks, most of which Lukas had re-issued/expanded that were available at Barnes and Noble. I was talking to an online friend about film score music and my love for soundtracks, wishing there were websites solely dedicated to film music. He laughed and linked me to Screen Archives Entertainment and this forum. Then I stumbled upon La La Land Records, Intrada, and all the others, this had to be about real late 2008. Since then I've seen a lot of my all time most wanted scores see the light of day.

That letter published by Lukas Kendall in the Starlog magazine got the ball rolling. I was there when it all happened. The rest is history.....
Same here, although I didn't respond until two years after that letter was published.

I don't know... it was before the reign of Google... must have followed a link, perhaps from Filmtracks...

I'm not sure, I think I may have read about it in Soundtrack Magazine around 1993.

I think it was 1997. I'd never had a home computer and was in the computer room at university. I looked up basically 3 things; stuff to do with my art/creative writing course, anything on the film THE THING, and anything on film music, which i liked and no else i knew did. And that's how i came across this site, it was one of the first things that popped up, i guess.
I read it for maybe 8 years, especially after i got a home PC. Then in about 2005 i had a serious facial injury that meant i was off work for a month and in my boredom I'd start posting here as Oblicno. Through it i've enjoyed many a great correspondence with several top people, met Tall Guy on several occasions (always a joy for him) and Warlok, too, so it's not all been bad  .

We've done a couple of similar threads in the past. Like this:
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=22348&forumID=1&archive=1
My FSM "story" is right there in the first post.
In regard to the magazine, I first discovered it listed at a 'publications' link at filmmusic.com, ca. 1996. I wrote Lukas a letter with dollar bills attached, requesting a subscription. My first issue was the "Taking of Pelham" one which was also the launch of their record label. Later, I acquired all the issues prior to that, from 1990 onwards.
I must point out that I am a big fan of Thor's archival activities; it's always interesting, the threads he resurrects.
