Since the game is over and I feel like being a jerk right now:
Only the devs can say how the game was "founded", since they're the ones that did it... well, really Stoot should respond to that question. If the question you meant to ask was "How did you find Glitch", then that is a totally different matter. In that case, I found it through the FS forums.
EDIT: I apologize for being a jerk, but this grammatical error has been bothering me since it was posted.
I think someone posted on FS forums. After I heard loads of Fsers are on, I signed up. Someone also gave me a devs e-mail. I e-mailed said dev about being and ex-FSer, and I got in a little early :) Cheating, I know.
A friend of mine whom I played A Mystical Land with facebook mailed me the Glitch link with the trailer. I found the trailer weird but since that particular friend sent it I decided it wouldn't hurt to sign up. About a 3 weeks worth of days later, I was hooked day 1 of playing lol
Video of Kevin Rose interviewing Daniel Burka, like 2 years ago. I think it was posted on Kevin's blog. Completely forgot about the game after a while, then got an invitation about 3 months ago and it was like.. "What the heck is this?!" LOL.. I've been addicted ever since.
boss sent me an invite..joined ages ago as trumple, had a quick go and thought it was a bit boring. Forgot about it until maybe 2 months ago and decided to give it another shot. Can't believe all those months of tests I wasted not playing! Love it!
Found it through Kotaku. Signed up to be on the list for an invite, then promptly forgot it. Once I finally did get my invite, I was like...what the heck is Glitch? But I signed up anyway, and thank goodness.
I watched the trailer, and all I could think was: WANT. I went to the site and signed up on the waiting list immediately.
I'd all but forgotten about it until that fateful day three months ago that I was finally invited..sigh.
Some fine friends were playing, and their conversation on facebook was so strange and entrancing, I had to sign up.
As an aside, the error in the initial question is because, I think, the asker's first language isn't English (I followed links to his Steam profile). I'm anal about spelling, grammar, and punctuation, but in this case, I think Freakulouz Boy is waaaay braver at communicating in another language than I will *ever* be. +1, man. Keep fighting crime.
I don't have a facebook, never seen or heard anything about Glitch, but the Giants successfully imagined me and tell the GOD to send me a revelation. :D
I must have first read about it in a flickr discussion or in TechCrunch or somewhere like that. I do remember taking note when it was reported in New World Notes blog (blog about secondlife and other virtual worlds). That's a great blog. I went and visited it yesterday and there was a link to a wonderful video. If you ever used to hang out in video game arcades it is worth the 15 minutes it takes to watch. I promise.
and its a WAY better productive use of your wait time than hashing it out over trolls, perceived trolls, and troublesome threads in the glitch forum discussions.
Years ago I entered my details on a page on Flickr, or maybe Stoot or Cal's blog or somewhere, I forget. Something along the lines of "sign up here to be told if GNE ever gets back off the ground". Then I got an email invite from GOD out of the blue at the end of April.
